You can judge a foam’s absorptive effectiveness by studying its NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient), a single number average of a foam’s absorption in what was determined long ago to be the most important range. The federally mandated test (ASTM C423) is standardized to cover frequencies between 125Hz and 4000Hz, but when calculating an NRC, only the coefficients from 250Hz to 2000Hz are used to help alleviate the possibility of testing errors (NRC Scale Ranges from 0 to 1 Scientifically).
All of our foam products are tested at an independent, unbiased acoustical laboratory – the oldest, most reliable lab in the country. We insist on using only the very best testing facility because we believe our customers deserve the most accurate absorption coefficient information possible.

STC (Sound Transmission Class), is a numerical rating of how effective a material is at blocking the transmission of sound through itself. This rating generally applies to hard materials like rubberized sound barriers, concrete, brick and drywall but also applies to a much lesser degree to softer materials like mineral fiber (although it isn’t tested by itself; it’s tested as part of a wall system to verify its effectiveness). Virtually every material filters out some of the sound that travels through it, but dense materials are much better at this than are spongy materials.
