Introducing Aura Acoustic Panels: Smarter Sound Solutions for Modern Spaces

At Notice Board Company, we’ve spent years helping organisations create spaces that communicate clearly and function effectively. But as workplaces, schools and public environments have evolved, so too have the challenges within them. One of the most overlooked—and increasingly important—is sound.

At Notice Board Company, we’ve spent years helping organisations create spaces that communicate clearly and function effectively. But as workplaces, schools and public environments have evolved, so too have the challenges within them. One of the most overlooked—and increasingly important—is sound.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce Aura Acoustic Panels: a new, dedicated range of acoustic solutions designed to bring balance, clarity and comfort back into busy environments. Manufactured from high-quality PET felt, Aura panels combine acoustic performance with contemporary design, offering a solution that works just as well visually as it does acoustically.

The Growing Need for Acoustic Comfort

Modern interiors are often designed with clean lines, open layouts and hard surfaces. While visually appealing, these features can create challenging acoustic conditions. Sound reflects off glass, concrete and plaster, building into a constant background hum that can be surprisingly disruptive.

In workplaces, this can mean reduced concentration, more frequent distractions and lower productivity. In education settings, it can affect speech clarity and learning outcomes. Even in hospitality or public environments, poor acoustics can subtly shape how comfortable a space feels.

Aura Acoustic Panels are designed to address this directly. Rather than allowing sound to bounce around a room, the panels absorb it, reducing reverberation and creating a calmer, more controlled atmosphere. The difference is often immediate—not just in how a space sounds, but in how it feels to be in it.

Designed with Sustainability at Their Core

Aura panels are not only about performance; they are also built with environmental responsibility in mind. Each panel is manufactured from 100% PET plastic and contains up to 75% post-consumer recycled material. This gives new life to waste plastics while reducing the demand for virgin resources.

The material itself is lightweight yet durable, making it suitable for a wide range of applications without compromising longevity. At the end of its lifecycle, it can also be recycled again, supporting a more circular approach to design.

In addition, Aura Acoustic Panels are fire rated to European Class B, ensuring they meet the necessary safety standards for use across commercial, educational and public settings.

A Versatile Range for Every Space

One of the key strengths of Aura Acoustic Panels lies in the breadth of the range. Rather than offering a single solution, Aura has been developed as a flexible system that can adapt to different environments, layouts and design goals.

Wall panels form the foundation of many acoustic schemes. By treating large surface areas, they significantly reduce echo and improve speech clarity within a room. Whether used in meeting rooms, classrooms or reception areas, they provide a simple yet highly effective way to enhance acoustic performance while introducing colour and texture to otherwise plain walls.

For those looking to take a more creative approach, wall tiles offer a modular alternative. Their smaller format allows for more freedom in layout, making it possible to create patterns, feature walls or even branded installations. This makes them particularly popular in design-led workplaces and collaborative environments where visual identity matters just as much as functionality.

Decorative panels build on this idea further, combining acoustic performance with sculptural design. These panels are often used in spaces where first impressions count—hospitality settings, breakout areas or client-facing environments—helping to shape both the look and the sound of a space simultaneously.

In more flexible or fast-changing environments, freestanding panels provide a practical solution without the need for installation. They can be moved, reconfigured or stored as needed, making them ideal for agile workplaces, training rooms or temporary setups where adaptability is key.

Hanging room dividers take a slightly different approach, offering a way to define spaces without fully enclosing them. Suspended from above, they help control sound while maintaining light flow and openness. This makes them particularly effective in open-plan offices, co-working spaces and hospitality venues where zoning is required but a sense of connection should remain.

When wall space is limited or ceilings are high, acoustic treatment needs to move upwards. Ceiling rafts are designed to do exactly that. Suspended horizontally, they absorb sound across large areas and are especially effective in expansive environments such as atriums, open offices or school halls. They work quietly in the background, reducing reverberation without dominating the visual space.

Ceiling baffles, which hang vertically, offer another ceiling-based solution. Their orientation allows sound to be absorbed from multiple angles, making them particularly useful in large, open or industrial-style interiors. As well as improving acoustics, they can introduce rhythm and structure to a ceiling plane, adding an architectural element to the design.

Closer to the individual workspace, desk screens provide a more personal level of acoustic control. In open-plan offices, they help reduce immediate distractions while also offering a degree of privacy. The result is a more comfortable and focused working environment, without losing the benefits of a shared space.

Finally, Aura also includes acoustic notice boards—bringing the story full circle. These combine the practical communication function that Notice Board Company is known for with the added benefit of sound absorption. They are particularly well suited to schools, staff rooms and offices, where information sharing and acoustic comfort go hand in hand.

Where Aura Makes the Biggest Difference

The beauty of Aura Acoustic Panels is their versatility. They are just as effective in a busy office as they are in a classroom, healthcare setting or hospitality venue. Anywhere that sound becomes a distraction—or even just a subtle discomfort—there is an opportunity to improve the environment through better acoustic design.

In many cases, the impact goes beyond noise reduction. Spaces become more comfortable, conversations become clearer, and people feel more at ease. It’s a change that is often noticed not because it stands out, but because something that once felt slightly off has been quietly resolved.

A Natural Evolution for Notice Board Company

The launch of Aura Acoustic Panels represents a natural progression for Notice Board Company. While our roots are in communication products, our focus has always been on improving environments—making them more effective, more comfortable and better suited to the people who use them.

With Aura, we’re extending that philosophy into the acoustic dimension of a space. By combining sustainable materials, thoughtful design and proven acoustic performance, we’re offering a solution that meets the demands of modern interiors.

Whether you’re fitting out a new workspace, upgrading a classroom or refining a public environment, Aura Acoustic Panels provide a flexible and forward-thinking way to shape not just how a space looks—but how it sounds and feels too.
