The sound produced by gunfire is deafening outdoors, but when the acoustical energy it produces is confined to a small indoor space as in a firing range, it gets even louder. The noise can reach levels as much as ten times greater than those experienced in outdoor ranges.

SONEX® Panels and Baffles are specifically designed to absorb the loud reverberation of indoor gunfire, effectively protecting the hearing of customers as well as range operators. Made from Class 1 fire-rated willtec® foam, SONEX Panels and Baffles are available in a variety of patterns and surfaces treatment to meet all your firing range needs.

Many Training Facilities choose SONEX one panels - which can be black Hypalon coated - for the walls, ceilings, vestibules, and control rooms.
Some more advaced ranges can have high-tech sound equipment that can simulate a variety of situations, including the sounds of planes taking off and landing. With so much gunfire and other sounds happening at once, shooters are keenly aware of excessive reverb. The idea is to protect the hearing of the officers while they were training in the gun ranges, and make sure the surrounding classrooms and or offices in the building are not disturbed by on-going gunfire.

SONEX one Panels, which were Hypalon® coated in black, are but one option for such projects. Installed on the walls and ceilings of the vestibules, or "sound locks," leading into each shooting range, as well as the area where the officers stand to fire their weapons, the panels can dramatically reduce airborne sound energy. The Hypalon coating is not only an excellent cosmetic option for the panels, it is also functional, as it protects them from dust and dirt and allows them to be easily wiped clean.

Customers all over the world are very pleased with the SONEX foam. SONEX keeps range noise from being heard in neighboring rooms.

The easily installed panels are made with willtec® foam, which is class 1 fire-rated for flame spread and smoke density. The best fire rating possible, Class 1 materials will char but not burn when they come in contact with flame. Flammability of acoustical products is always a concern, particularly in shooting ranges where unburned gunpowder can sometimes present a fire hazard.

Our panels, a quality, cost-effective solution to customers' noise control needs. They are available in natural, painted or Hypalon coated. Their textured surface gives them a soft, geometric look that is appropriate for any environment.

When building an indoor or outdoor shooting range there are several different acoustical products that can be used. With indoor shooting ranges you are dealing with high decibel levels and generally hard reflective surfaces all around the gun range. Sound absorption can be added to the walls of the shooting range to lower the reverb level within the room. sound Barriers can also be added to indoor shooting ranges to lower the sound that is traveling through the walls and ceilings to outside sources such as neighbors. When building an outdoor shooting range you can use sound blankets to reduce noise levels at the property line.
