Acoustic Foams
Singer Safety offers high quality acoustic foams and panels that provide excellent noise absorption in the mid-to-high frequency noise range. You can use our acoustic foams to line machine or equipment surfaces, guards, enclosures, walls, and doors to absorb noise from industrial operations. Our acoustic foams can have flat or convoluted surfaces, whichever you prefer. Our foam is easy to cut to any size you need. It can also be fastened to nearly any wall, ceiling, or surface. Our customers love our acoustic foams because they produce a smoother, quieter work environment for their employees and their business as a whole. Singer Safety makes the best noise reduction products available.
What is Acoustic Foam?
Acoustic foam is used for sound absorption and insulation. It attenuates airborne sound waves and reduces their amplitude in order to reduce noise. Acoustical foam can be attached to walls, ceilings, doors, and other room features to reduce noise, vibration, and echoes. Acoustic foam helps create a safer and quieter industrial environment.
How Does Acoustic Foam Work?
Sound is simply energy. When something vibrates, the air around it also vibrates. The vibrations are carried through the air in the form of soundwaves. The sound waves are carried to the inside of your ears, which also start to vibrate. However, certain materials can adjust how these vibrations behave.
Acoustic foam, sometimes referred to as noise foam, can be used to manipulate vibrations and The open and flexible structure of foam acts as a natural sound wave absorbing material. It prevents noises from reverberating off hard surfaces like walls, floors and ceilings. How? By converting existing sound energy to heat and reducing the ability of the soundwaves to bounce back into the room. Acoustic foam absorbs noise, rather than blocks noise.
In addition to using acoustic foam to dilute sound, you can also use it to enhance the acoustics in a room, like in a recording studio. When the foam is cut into pyramid or wedge shapes, it can actually improve the quality of the sound.
How Is Acoustic Foam Used?
The goal of acoustic foam is to change or improve a room’s sound qualities by absorbing sound. There are a variety of uses for Singer Safety’s acoustic foam. While our company is committed to noise control systems for industrial settings, it’s not just for manufacturers and factories. Whether you need to control sound in your church or gymnasium, or if you are a professional musician who needs to control music levels in your studio, our acoustic foam can help. You can also use acoustic foam in control rooms, offices, man caves, you name it. Here are some common uses for our acoustic foam:
Applications for Ceiling Baffles
Home theaters
Manufacturing
Facilities
Schools
Churches
Synagogues & temples
Equipment warehouses
Corporate offices
Gymnasiums
Auditoriums
Singer Safety Ceiling Baffles
Each absorber measures 2’ H x 4’ W, and includes nickel-plated grommets for hanging. Each provides approximately 10 Sabins of absorption. When hung in the recommended density of one absorber per eight to ten square feet of floor area, baffles can reduce ambient noise by 4-7 dBA. They can either be hung in parallel rows two feet apart, or in an egg crate configuration.
Benefits of Singer Safety Acoustic Foams
- Reduce Noise Pollution
Sound waves, like light, can pass through even the smallest holes or openings in holes, walls, or really any material. Acoustic foams reduce noise pollution and remove echoes and background sounds not by blocking the sound, but by absorbing it.
- Enhance Sound Quality
Acoustic foams that are cut in tiles with pyramid or wedge shapes not only absorb sound, but they also enhance the quality of sound within a room. You can use acoustic foam to minimize sound echoes within a room.
- Improve Room’s Design
Many people use acoustic foams in their home studios or work areas in order to minimize noise for the rest of their home or office. Acoustic foam can improve the acoustics in a room and make it a more valuable and useful space.
- Easy to Install
Acoustic foams are simple and easy to install or cut down to size.

Singer Safety Noise Foam Options
Singer Safety’s acoustic foam is easy to cut to any size you require. It can also be fastened to most surfaces with a water-based adhesive. Our foams have excellent structural integrity and require little to no mechanical support. We offer the following options for acoustic foam:
Standard Acoustic Foam (SAF)
Standard Acoustic Foam, commonly referred to as “SAF,” is an open-celled polyurethane flat foam. This kind of acoustic foam is effective for mid-to-high frequency noise absorption. It is charcoal in color and sold in rolls.
Aluminized Mylar Foam (AMF)
Aluminized Mylar Foam, commonly referred to as “AMF,” is identical to standard acoustic foam, except that it is laminated with one mil aluminized Mylar facing. The easy-to-clean facing reflects both light and heat, and protects the foam from dirt, dust, and grease. It is sold in rolls.
Convoluted Foam
Convoluted foam is a polyurethane foam that offers superior sound absorption. It is sold in sheets and four to a box.
Sound Stick Adhesive
Singer Safety also sells sound stick adhesive. There are 32’ of bead per tube. You will need approximately one tube per each 10’ section.
Why Choose Acoustic Foam?
Sound Quality
The primary reason clients choose acoustic foam is for sound quality. In addition to reducing sound within spaces, acoustic foam also help improve acoustics within a space. It can make it easier for your employees to hear each other and communicate in your facility when acoustic foam is in place.
Aesthetics
Acoustic foam is an aesthetically pleasing solution.
Cost Effectiveness
Acoustic foam is an affordable noise-reducing solution in comparison to other options. You can reduce noise even in a large manufacturing space cost effectively with acoustic foam.
Use Singer Safety Products To Create An Acoustic System.
Acoustic foams work best to reduce noise when they are used in conjunction with
other Singer Safety Sound Stopper products. Learn more about how our noise
control products can help your facility be quieter and more productive.
Our modular acoustic screens are versatile barriers you can use to isolate noise and protect workers in adjacent areas and protect them from suffering hearing damage. The screens can be joined together easily or moved as your needs change within your facility. Modular acoustic screens are the most flexible industrial noise control and canceling product on the market.
You can effectively absorb sound throughout your facility with Singer Safety’s ceiling baffles. Our ceiling baffles are manufactured with quilted fiberglass material or poly-covered fiberglass, and are proven to control noise.
They are typically used in conjunction with other Sound Stopper products. They reduce reverberant noise in large rooms, noisy sections of plant floors, and over sound partition enclosures to help keep an area soundproof.
Quilted fiberglass panels offer superior noise absorption, noise barrier, and noise-canceling capabilities for machinery, walls, and doors. The panels are usually used in conjunction with ceiling baffles and acoustic screens. We offer both single-sided and double-sided quilted fiberglass panels, depending on your needs.
Finally, we offer various products like QFM rolls and vibration damper compound to help you soundproof your workplace on your own.
