Sonofonic Hanging Acoustic Clouds – Shape-Driven Sound Control
In large open spaces like sports centres, function halls, and auditoriums, managing noise can be difficult — especially with high ceilings and hard surfaces. Traditional wall or ceiling-mounted panels may not suit these environments, particularly when the ceiling is decorative or too high to access easily. That’s where Sonofonic Hanging Acoustic Clouds come in.
These suspended acoustic panels provide an effective, design-friendly solution for controlling reverberation. Manufactured from lightweight glasswool and finished in a decorative acoustic coating, Sonofonic Clouds are available in over 20 unique shapes and a wide range of Pantone colours. They’re both a practical and visual feature in any modern space.
Acoustic Performance Meets Design
Each cloud is suspended from the ceiling using a discreet hook-and-wire system. This allows for multiple heights, orientations, and pattern layouts. The result is a floating ceiling feature that softens echo without interrupting airflow, lighting, or ceiling structure. These systems were recently installed in Melbourne Airport Terminal 4, suspended four metres from the ceiling to create a striking acoustic statement.
Standard Shapes and Custom Options
Sonofonic Acoustic Clouds are available in standard geometric and organic shapes. Custom profiles can also be produced to suit bespoke ceiling layouts or architectural themes.
