What are the different types of acoustic tiles and which one should I choose for my ceiling?

The most common type of acoustic tile is a floating floor. Floating floors use a thin layer of material to absorb sound waves, while providing insulation from heat transfer. This type of tile can be installed on any flat surface, including ceilings.2 Another option is an acoustic panel. These panels have a similar design as floating floors, but they're thicker and heavier. They're typically used in rooms with high noise levels, such as auditoriums or classrooms.3 Last, but not least, is a suspended acoustic tile. Suspended acoustic tiles are essentially lightweight panels that hang from the ceiling. They provide excellent sound absorption, but are more expensive than other options.
