Are Acoustic Panels From Home Depot Effective?

Are you considering Home Depot acoustic panels for your home or business? Home Depot has an array of acoustic panels to absorb and reduce unwanted noise. However, many people wonder if Home Depot’s acoustic panels are effective.

As the leading manufacturer of acoustic installations since 1989, we happen to know a thing or two about acoustic panels. So, we thought we’d weigh in on Home Depot’s panels (and offer a few comparable alternatives, too).

In this article, we’ll share several types of acoustic panels available at Home Depot and compare them against some other options so you can decide if Home Depot’s panels are suitable for your project.

Here are three different types of acoustic panels from Home Depot to consider for reducing noise, echo, or reverberance in your space.

Rectangular wall panels are exactly what they sound like. They’re acoustic panels that go on the wall to reduce unwanted sounds.

The Owens Corning Fabric Rectangle is an all-purpose sound-absorbing panel that is perfect for homes, offices, and schools. With a fabric or paintable surface and a rigid core interior, the panels come in six color options to match any design.

As far as acoustic wall panels go, the Owens Corning Fabric Rectangle from Home Depot is a solid choice. With above-average customer reviews, the panels will likely provide some noise reduction.

However, if you’re looking for ultimate customization, superior noise reduction, and excellent customer reviews, the AlphaSorb® Quick Ship Acoustic Panel is the clear frontrunner. As a bonus, the AlphaSorb® Quick Ship Acoustic Panel is also more cost-effective (as of June 2025, at $110 per panel vs. $139 per panel), making it an all-around stellar choice.

Acoustic foam panels are a cost-effective way to capture unwanted noise in larger spaces or recording studios.

When it comes to Home Depot acoustic foam panels, the Auralex Studiofoam Pyramid Panels are an excellent choice. Designed with durability and cost in mind, they’re made to absorb noise in recording studio environments.

When it comes to foam panels, Home Depot’s Auralex Studiofoam Pyramid Panels are a great budget-friendly option for studios. However, for just a little bit more, you can get AlphaSorb® Pyramid Acoustic Foam offering the same benefits plus some added perks, like additional customizability, aesthetically appealing appearance, higher fire rating, and more. They’re also suitable for other environments beyond the studio.

Sometimes plain panels or foam don’t fit the design motif, and you need an acoustic solution with a little more pizzazz. That’s where acoustic panels with interesting shapes come into play.

The Owens Corning Paintable White Fabric Triangle from Home Depot is an all-purpose acoustic panel. With the ability to paint the triangles however you’d like, you can easily customize these quirky-shaped panels to fit your design needs.

Home Depot’s Owens Corning Paintable White Fabric Triangle is a fun-shaped acoustic option that allows you to paint the exterior to fit your motif. However, if you’re looking to add a geometric pattern without the hassle of painting, the hexagonal-shaped AlphaSorb® Designer Premium Acoustic Felt Hexagon Wall Panels are an ideal alternative.

Ultimately, Home Depot’s acoustic panels are generally effective and are a great option if you have urgent acoustic needs. It’s nice knowing your big box retailer has acoustic options available in a pinch.
