NRC Ratings

Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is the average of the absorption coefficients at 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz.

• It essentially measures how well something absorbs sound, mostly in the range of normal speech frequencies.
• NRC usually ranges from 0 to 1.
• A reasonable rule of thumb is that the NRC of a product is the percentage of sound a product will absorb.
