The main benefit of acoustic curtains is how easy they can be moved or changed. Acoustic curtains are not a permanent solution.

Mobile Soundproof Panels – for areas with mild noise problems, mobile acoustic panels are soundproofing for soundproofing that area. These panels can be easily moved from workspace to workspace, making them the perfect choice in areas where the noise source is movable. The movable acoustic panels make it easy to find the ideal place to ensure proper soundproofing by moving around until you experience the least amount of noise possible.
