The Challenge
Excessive Noise in a Busy, Open Space – Friend Street Kindergarten in Mont Albert North faced a common challenge for early childhood centres: excessive noise in an open space with hard surfaces and lots of young, active children. The noise levels became unbearable, with sounds bouncing off hard surfaces, creating a loud and distracting environment. This not only impacted children’s focus but also affected the comfort and well-being of both the children and staff. A quieter, more controlled acoustic environment was essential to create a nurturing, supportive space conducive to learning and play.
The Solution
SoundFix Acoustics conducted a thorough acoustic assessment of the kindergarten space, pinpointing areas where sound reflection was most problematic. Based on the assessment, the solution included the installation of 1100x500mm acoustic ceiling panels specifically chosen for their effective sound-absorbing qualities.
The panels were strategically placed on the ceiling to capture and reduce sound reflections, minimising noise levels throughout the room. SoundFix’s expert team completed the installation efficiently within a single day, ensuring minimal disruption to the kindergarten’s schedule.
The Installation
Comprehensive Acoustic Assessment: SoundFix’s team analysed the noise levels and reflection points to create a targeted solution.
High-Performance Ceiling Panels: 1100x500mm panels designed to absorb sound effectively, reducing reverberation and overall noise.
Quick Installation: The entire installation was completed in just one day, allowing the kindergarten to quickly return to normal operations.
This project at Friend Street Kindergarten highlights SoundFix’s commitment to providing high-quality acoustic solutions that meet the specific needs of early learning environments. By conducting a thorough assessment and implementing a quick, effective installation, SoundFix helped transform a noisy space into a peaceful, nurturing environment that supports children’s learning and development.
The Outcome
The impact of the acoustic ceiling panels was immediate and profound. The installation reduced noise levels significantly, transforming the open space into a quieter, more comfortable environment where children could focus, interact, and play without the constant distraction of overwhelming noise. Teachers also found it easier to communicate with the children, creating a more supportive and relaxed atmosphere for everyone.
Feedback from the Staff:
Staff at Friend Street Kindergarten were thrilled with the results, noting a noticeable difference in the sound levels and the overall comfort of the space. The quieter environment has allowed for better engagement and more productive learning activities, benefiting both children and educators.

We prefer our customers to tell you why you should choose SoundFix Acoustics Panels.

Before, when we had a full house, it was really hard for customers to hear each other. Now, the feedback has been amazing! Our customers are really happy, and so are we!”

“The installation only took about 3.5 hours. We just moved the children to a different room for a couple of hours, and the panels were up—you can’t even notice they’re there. The improvement is instant. Even outside the room, I can hear less noise. The educators are saying it’s less stressful, and there’s less stress on the children.”

“ With SoundFix acoustic panels, we have a room that's less reverberent, even with people in it... So now we have a room that sounds like a proper theatre, even though it's just a school hall! I can definitely recommend SoundFix for any schools or large spaces.”

They were able to answer all my questions, and they were able to provide a solution within a couple of days. I’d happily recommend SoundFix to anyone
It is just remarkably different after installing the panels. Every teacher has commented on the change, and it also looks fantastic, it blends in beautifully
The first day after the installation we noticed improvement in the reverberation… We can actually talk and interact with people I can recommend the product
