What level of sound deadening can I expect from SoundStop® Tackable Wall Panels?
STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings are based on a wall system, not an individual component. Using SoundStop® Tackable Wall Panels it is common to see ratings of 50 or more. STC is a widely used numerical scale that rates how well the system stops sound transfer generated by speech or other noise. The higher the STC, the more efficient the system is in reducing sound transmission from room to room or from the outside in. Ratings of 50 or more are generally accepted to be excellent and will reduce a significant amount of sound.
