	Sound absorbent materials can be used to create a suitable acoustic environment within a space by reducing the ‘reverberation time’. Reverberation affects the way a space 'sounds'. A long reverberation time can make a room sound loud and noisy and causes speech to sound muffled and muddy. Rooms designed for speech therefore typically have a short reverberation time of less than 1 second. Conversely, a longer reverberation time can enhance a music hall by adding richness, depth and warmth to music.

	NB: Sound absorption is not the same as sound insulation which is used to prevent sound travelling between separate spaces across a partition such as a wall, ceiling or floor. Sound absorbing materials can convert some of the absorbed sound energy into heat, rather than transmitting it, which improve sound insulation, but it should not be seen as a substitute for adequate sound insulation.
