how does acoustic spray work?

Acoustic spray reduces reverberation by absorbing airborne sound waves. When sound travels through a space and strikes a hard surface, it bounces back, creating echoes and uncomfortable noise levels. Acoustic spray’s porous texture allows sound waves to penetrate the surface and dissipate within the fibrous material, significantly decreasing echo and background noise. This ability to absorb a wide range of frequencies makes acoustic spray particularly useful in noisy, high-traffic environments.

what our customers say

“Having used SonaSpray on several other projects, we knew how effective it was at reducing office noise. It’s quickly become our go-to product and our clients are always happy to follow our recommendations due to the huge difference it makes, both in open-plan areas and cellular spaces.

When we used a competitor product, we noticed a drop in standard and only SonaSpray delivers both in terms of aesthetics and sound management. The finish on the project was exceptional and hides any imperfections, making it as visually strong as it is at reducing noise.”

Mariachiara Dal Pozzo, Associate Director, tp bennett

“The transformation is amazing. My staff previously experienced difficulty in focusing and mental fatigue after a shift when the bar is loud and busy. They can now easily hear and communicate with customers, which I believe will lead to a happier workforce.

As a noise sensitive person myself (I have ADHD) I am so proud to be able to deliver these audio inclusive experiences that more of our community will be able to enjoy. It really is an exciting development for our business that I feel privileged to receive.”

Alice Passey, owner of SJQ Grassroots music venue & bar

“Our goal for our new HQ was to create not only a beautiful and functional space, but also a home-from-home sanctuary that would encourage staff to spend time in over remote working. There were several acoustic challenges, as the building featured an array of hard surfaces which combine to create a lively acoustic environment. We needed a solution that could soak up sound energy, creating a softness that would promote focus and wellbeing, whilst still feeling homely.

We’re thrilled with how our office looks and performs acoustically. Oscar Acoustic’s SonaSpray is the single most noticeable and effective material in our office and directly contributes to day-to-day comfort and the ability to work without bothering others.”

Julian De Metz, Director dMFK Architects – 76 Charlotte St

“Everyone loves the SonaSpray finish! Second to the exterior thatch, it is the most asked about and photographed material in the building.

During our regular tours, people are always asking what it is and what it is for. They love that fact that it has a purpose and is on show so they can see how the building works.”

Fergus Rolfe, Team Manager, The Enterprise Centre, UEA – SonaSpray

“The architect’s solution of fitting high level ‘sound absorbing’ panels produced a negligible improvement. We continued to ‘battle’ with intolerable ‘echo’ making the room unfit for its-purpose.

Following an independent sound monitoring exercise an alternative acoustic dampening application was recommended. Sonaspray was selected. My caretaking staff were greatly impressed by the attention to detail paid by your engineers in the installation procedure. Every surface was carefully covered and the procedure was very professionally completed.

The effect of the application has been tremendous! The hall is a different room and PE, assemblies and lunch-times have become pleasurable occasions compared to the sonic battleground we experienced previously.”

Headteacher, Meadowside School, Gloucester – SonaSpray

“We had been running out of ideas on how to improve noise levels due to reverberation off our high ceilings during our busy monthly Dementia Café, when someone recommended Oscar Acoustics. Ben and his team responded quickly and recommended an application of their SonaSpray product. The installation was quick, just a couple of days, and the team were professional, friendly and cleaned up after themselves really well.

The difference was noticed immediately and at the next Dementia Café we didn’t have any patients complain about noise levels, meaning that more patients and carers were able to access support and advice.

Thank you so much to Oscar Acoustics for your support, as you can see your work has meant that this space is now much more accessible and user friendly for people with Dementia and we can continue to ensure our service supports as many people as possible.”

Heart of Kent Hospice – SonaSpray

“Magical stuff! Well worth it – a huge improvement to one of our high ceilinged classrooms. The feedback is that there is a massive difference and it is definitely a more productive acoustic environment for the children and staff.

Thank you very much for improving things for us.”

Abigail Hercules, Bursar, Dallington School

“Simply Awesome! It’s created a totally different dining environment. Speech and music are clear and all background clutter noise has gone. The restaurant feels comfortable and somehow warmer and cosier.”

Tim Yeo, Black Tiles Restaurant Owner – SonaSpray

“We are pleased to confirm that we have used SonaSpray to good effect in a large sixth form college dining hall in Leicester.

Previously, the hall with its hard, highly reflective surfaces, was an uncomfortable space with high noise levels and poor speech quality/intelligibility. The Introduction of SonaSpray to the ceiling and certain wall panels has reduced the reverberation times, significantly reducing noise levels and improving speech quality. The nature of the material and its application have enabled us to follow and retain the existing plaster moulded features of the ceiling and walls.”

M. Strangeway, Strangeway Partnership – SonaSpray

“Following the recent installation of Sonaspray to the ceiling at Rickling School, we are delighted with the finished product and the performance that it provides.

The client is also more than happy and they are now putting their new hall to good use…”

Phil Edmonds, Project Manager, Advanced Timber Technology – SonaSpray

“My thanks for the work carried out in our hall. The result is excellent and we now have a valuable facility which can be used to its full potential for all types of lessons and productions. We no longer have to strain our ears to pick up children’s voices and conversely they can clearly hear us.”

Paul Sparkes, Headteacher, Fawkham Primary School – SonaSpray

“We would like to take this opportunity to tell you how very impressed and satisfied we are with the SonaSpray installation which yon have recently installed. The noise level has dropped dramatically to beyond our expectations and has also improved the decor of the restaurant tremendously.

The work was completed quickly and with the minimum of fuss and to a professional degree.

We would have no hesitation in recommending the company to potential clients…”

Simon Nissim, Managing Director, Isabella Cafe – SonaSpray

“We are really happy with the results in Studio 3 from both an acoustic point of view and aesthetically, it’s exactly what we were looking for. I would also like to say thanks to the guys who were top notch – very courteous and professional and extremely tidy. Great job all round, really appreciate it. ”

Dave Parker, COO, Maidstone Studios – SonaSpray K-13 Black

“Following the recent installation of nearly 3,000m2 of SonaSpray K-13 Special to the corridors, classroom and activity hall ceilings, plus an extra 200m2 of works to the main sports hall at St. Pauls Way Community School, Bouygues UK Ltd would like to thank Oscar Acoustics for their hard work in delivering a high standard of work within our programme, for which speed of installation was critical.

Your site teams should be commended on…”

Chris Stevens, Operations Director, Bouygues UK – SonaSpray K-13 Special

“Saved us money

acoustic spray frequently asked questions

Our SonaSpray acoustic sprays are seamless, spray-applied finishes designed to reduce noise levels and improve sound quality within interior spaces. Made from a blend of natural cellulose fibres including wood, cotton, hemp and other rapidly renewable resources, SonaSpray absorbs sound instead of reflecting it, significantly reducing noise reverberation in any space.

Unlike conventional panels or blocks, SonaSpray acoustic spray systems can be applied directly onto most substrates, including concrete, metal decking, timber, plasterboard, and more. Its seamless application allows for coverage across flat, curved, vaulted, and irregular surfaces, making it a favoured choice in open-plan spaces and exposed soffit designs.

Thanks to its adaptability and performance, acoustic spray can be used in a wide range of settings:

  • Commercial: Offices, showrooms, boardrooms
  • Hospitality: Hotels, restaurants, bars
  • Entertainment: Film studios, concert halls, arenas
  • Retail: Shopping centres, high street stores
  • Education: Schools, universities, libraries
  • Cultural and Civic: Theatres, museums, town halls
  • Industrial: Warehouses, production spaces

It is especially effective in buildings with exposed soffits and hard surfaces where traditional acoustic products may be impractical.

Acoustic spray must be installed by specialist trained, qualified professionals due to its specific equipment and expertise requirements. The process typically includes:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and structurally sound.
  2. Masking and Protection: Areas not being sprayed are carefully masked to protect fixtures and finishes.
  3. Spray Application: Material is spray-applied to achieve the desired thickness and finish.
  4. Final Inspections: Allow sufficient time for drying and conduct post-installation inspections for quality assurance.

Installation is generally quicker than constructing suspended ceilings or affixing panels, especially in large, open areas.

Maintaining acoustic spray is really easy using a soft brush and vacuum cleaner. This prevents any damage to the walls/ceilings you are maintaining.

Our acoustic sprays are within reason, quick and easy to locally and invisibly repair. We can train contractor labourers to do this and can also provide a video to demonstrate. Most acoustic sprays on the market require pre-handover re-sprays to deal with any damages. In some cases, this requires putting up bird cage scaffolds again.
