What Is Sabin? | Sound Measurement

A Sabin is a unit of sound measurement. It measures how well one square foot of any surface texture in a room is able to absorb sound reflections. As we discuss in our course on the NRC here at the NetWell Academy, all surfaces are ranked from 0 to 1.0 for their ability to absorb sound. A ranking of “0” indicates a complete lack of absorption, while a ranking of “1.0” means perfect absorption. This absorption coefficient is then used to assign an NRC value to any surface material. The Sabin count is simply the sum total of the absorption coefficients in a room. Stronger NRC values will deliver stronger Sabin counts, which in turn signal slower sound reflections, lower background noise and a more controlled acoustic environment. The surfaces in your existing room already have established NRC values which are delivering a standing Sabin count. If you’re here visiting this website, the indication is that the existing Sabin count in your room is just not strong enough to produce enough control over your background noise. Our goal is to increase the Sabin count in your room, which will clear out the background noise, and deliver better acoustics to your room. This is accomplished by adding more sound absorption products into your room that will serve to capture and convert more sound reflections than your current walls, ceiling and floor are producing on their own. In turn, your Reverberation Time will decay, which will clean out your background noise and deliver better clarity to the original sounds you create.
