Common acoustic mistakes in bedrooms

The errors we see most often in bedrooms, and how to avoid them.

2 minute read · Updated Nov 2026

Most disappointing results in bedrooms come from a few predictable mistakes.

  1. Expecting panels to block a neighbor's noise
  2. Mounting heavy panels with adhesive above a bed
  3. Buying by the panel instead of by the absorption the room needs.
  4. Confusing absorption with soundproofing.

Avoid all of these by starting with the panel count and the placement guide.
