Do acoustic slat panels really work?

Hi @Onearmman,

In answer to your question, yes, these panels do work and reduce sound transmission due to their acoustic properties. However, considering the type of noise you're experiencing is already travelling through a brick wall, I suspect although these panels will help, they might not resolve your issue entirely. Their felt backing will mechanically isolate them from the wall, helping to dampen any sound vibrations travelling through it. 

It's important to understand that these are wall panels with acoustic properties, not an acoustic panel specifically designed to stop sound. In saying that, though, I don't think you are going to find any dedicated acoustic panels that look particularly attractive and certainly not the same as these. 

There will be a noticeable difference in noise transmission once you've installed them, but I just want you to be aware that they are not designed to block all levels of sound entirely.

The library at University of Portland has vertical wooden slats on the walls . I'm told they're to help keep it quiet and minimize echoes. I'd like to make a panel of similar slats for my parents, whose house is new and very echo-prone. Does spacing of the slats matter? Can they be horizontal instead of vertical? Are there other design considerations I should take into account?
