Hanging Acoustic Clouds for Stylish Noise Control
Sontext Hanging Acoustic Clouds are suspended ceiling panels designed to absorb sound reflections from hard surfaces. Unlike fixed wall panels, clouds hang from above, making them perfect for spaces with limited wall area or open-plan layouts. They provide both a dramatic visual effect and excellent acoustic performance, reducing reverberation and improving speech clarity.
Acoustic Clouds by Sontext
Mounted horizontally or angled at different levels, acoustic clouds act as two-sided absorbers, capturing sound from both above and below. They are an effective choice for restaurants, offices, classrooms, lobbies, and community halls where traditional wall treatments may not be possible. Sontext manufactures custom Serenity™ Fabric Acoustic Panels and Murano™ Timber Acoustic Panels to be suspended as acoustic clouds.

- Visual impact: Adds interest and depth to ceilings.

FAQs – Hanging Acoustic Clouds
1. How do acoustic clouds work?
They are suspended from ceilings and absorb sound on both sides, reducing echo and improving clarity.
2. Where are acoustic clouds most effective?
In open-plan offices, restaurants, classrooms, and large lobbies where reverberation is high and wall treatments are limited.
3. Can clouds be customised?
Yes. Sontext manufactures clouds in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and finishes, including fabric and timber.
4. Are they different from acoustic baffles?
Yes. Acoustic baffles hang vertically, while clouds are suspended horizontally or angled. Both are effective but create different visual effects.
5. Do clouds add to the aesthetics of a space?
Absolutely. They create a floating ceiling effect, adding modern design elements while improving acoustics.
