Do acoustic ceiling tiles help reduce noise in a benching environment?

Acoustic ceiling tiles (ACTs) with high NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) ratings are one of the most effective interventions for open benching noise. An NRC of 0.80 or higher absorbs the majority of sound striking the ceiling before it bounces back into the space. Combine ACTs with acoustic privacy screens on bench runs and soft furnishings elsewhere in the space (carpet, upholstered lounge chairs) for a meaningful noise reduction program. A ceiling-only solution without surface-level absorption is only partially effective.
