Noise Control in Large School Areas
Acoustic Panels in Schools
Noise control is critical to creating effective learning environments. At Sontext, we supply acoustic panels designed specifically for schools, classrooms, early learning centres, and university spaces across Australia and worldwide. Our panels help reduce background noise, improve speech clarity, and support concentration for both students and educators.
Whether it’s a busy classroom, music room, or multipurpose hall, Sontext offers solutions tailored to the unique acoustic demands of educational spaces. With options like Serenity, Serenity Art, and Decrasound polyester panels, our range suits every setting—backed by compliant fire ratings and sustainable manufacturing.
School Halls Acoustics
School or Council-run halls are usually constructed as a large volume “box” with hard interior surface like timber, plaster or in some cases no lining at all. These interior spaces can be used for a multitude of varying functions, most of which will involve gatherings of groups of people for activities like presentations, exercise, sport or entertainment.

Reducing Noise In School Halls
The prime reason to install acoustic treatment is to minimise reflected sound waves, usually at or near voice frequencies. Excessive background noise can make speech or music hard to hear or understand clearly.
To overcome this problem Sontext can supply Serenity Fabric Panels or Murano Perforated Acoustic Panels. These panels can be installed to the walls or ceilings of new or existing buildings. Colours, dimensions or finishes can be customised.
Tailored Acoustic Solutions for School Halls
Sontext provides acoustic panel systems that absorb sound and reduce echo in large open spaces. Panels can be installed on walls or ceilings, with finishes and colours selected to suit educational interiors. Options include:
- Fabric Acoustic Panels: Soft-faced panels in custom colours and sizes
- Timber Panels: Durable and stylish, suitable for feature walls
- Polyester Panels: Lightweight, impact-resistant, and ideal for high-traffic areas
Panels Designed for Educational Standards
All Sontext panels can be supplied with Group 1 fire ratings and low-VOC finishes, supporting the health and safety standards required in schools. Fixing methods are designed for long-term durability and ease of maintenance.
SerenityLite Panels
SerenityLite Panels are commonly to reduce reverberation, or “echo” in halls. They are lightweight, dimensions are customisable and are available in a huge range of fabric finishes.
Serenity Panels
Serenity Panels are a more robust solution to reduce noise levels for school halls. They are constructed with a timber frame, MDF backing, and an impact resistant membrane. They can be custom-made to fit around obstacles like vents, windows, and lighting.
