acoustic foam
Noise-absorbing wall panels
Acoustic foam is a porous material designed to absorb sound waves and reduce echo, reverberation, or noise transmission.
The foam typically features a textured surface—egg-crate patterns, wedges, or pyramids—that increases surface area for sound absorption.
It lines recording studios, home theaters, and podcasting spaces: We covered the walls with acoustic foam to deaden the room.
