Eco-friendly noise control trends and innovations for 2025 and beyond

As businesses increasingly prioritise acoustics in their premises’ design, acousticians and architects predict a wave of advancements in noise control across 2025. With the rapid growth of commercial environments – including offices, gyms, and hospitality spaces – managing sound is the key to enhancing comfort and meeting regulatory standards.

In this news post, the Avenue Interior Systems team look at some of the trends shaping the future of commercial noise control – and how Avenue stay at the forefront of these innovations.

Sustainable noise control solutions

In 2025, the focus on eco-friendly materials is expected to dominate noise control solutions in commercial spaces. With global shifts towards sustainability, more businesses seek products that offer environmental benefits as well as acoustic performance.

Acousticians predict increased use of recycled, renewable, and sustainable acoustic materials like cork, rice husks, and textiles made from recycled fibres. These materials not only help absorb noise but also align with green building certifications, which are increasingly important for commercial properties.

Avenue Interior Systems proudly offers eco-friendly products that align with these sustainable trends. For example, our acoustic panels incorporate recycled materials without sacrificing performance – which means they’re ideal for businesses looking to meet their environmental and noise control goals.

Advanced acoustic metamaterials

Another major trend predicted for 2025 is the growing adoption of acoustic metamaterials. These innovative materials – which can manipulate sound waves in ways conventional materials cannot – are becoming more accessible and versatile.

Metamaterials are particularly beneficial for controlling sound across various frequencies, which makes them perfect for complex commercial environments like open-plan offices, gyms, and multi-purpose venues.

By closely following the development of acoustic metamaterials, Avenue remains at the cutting edge of technology. In this way, we ensure we offer our clients the most effective solutions for their unique acoustic challenges.

Hybrid acoustic solutions

With the increased complexity of modern commercial spaces, more than a single noise control method is needed. Hybrid acoustic systems that combine passive solutions (like sound-absorbing panels) with active noise control technologies are predicted to gain popularity in the next few years.

These systems can dynamically adjust to changing environments, ensuring optimum noise levels are maintained, whether during a bustling workday or a quiet evening shift.

Avenue Interior Systems offers custom acoustic solutions that integrate these hybrid approaches. For instance, our products for commercial spaces can be paired with sound masking technologies to create a more comprehensive noise management strategy.

Inclusive acoustic design

Another trend gaining traction is inclusive acoustic design, particularly in industries like healthcare, education, and hospitality. Ensuring acoustic environments cater to all individuals, including those with hearing impairments, will be essential. Creating spaces that offer privacy – especially in open-plan offices or healthcare facilities – will also increasingly be a priority.

At Avenue Interior Systems, our custom acoustic panels and dividers provide adaptable, aesthetically pleasing solutions to meet the needs of inclusive design. For example, our Calando acoustic panels are ideal for ensuring privacy in meeting rooms, while our decorative acoustic solutions add a visual appeal that matches high-performance sound control.
