📍 Inter.Noise Adelaide 2026

Megasorber founders, Jenny and Harvey Law, are reflecting on a truly rewarding experience at Inter.Noise in Adelaide.

It was fantastic to reconnect with the top minds from the Australian Acoustical Society (AAS), catch up with many long-time friends and colleagues, and meet new faces from across the acoustics community. The event proved to be a highly successful, enjoyable, and productive mission for Megasorber.

We are also proud to have contributed to Cameron Hough's (Marshall Day) research paper through the testing of fabrics in Megasorber's Alpha Cabin, the only facility of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The Alpha Cabin continues to play an important role in advancing acoustic research and innovation.

A special thank you to the amazing people at the Australian Acoustical Society, Marshall Day, Resonate, Acor, E-Lab Consulting, Professor Elke Deckers from KU Leuven University (Belgium), Professor Benjamin Halkon from the University of Technology Sydney, and the many other industry professionals, researchers, and friends who made this event so memorable.

Here's to continued collaboration, innovation, and excellence in acoustics!

🏊‍♂️ Ivanhoe Grammar Making Waves in Acoustic Design 🔊

Creating the perfect pool environment requires more than great architecture. It demands smart acoustic solutions that can handle challenging conditions.

When the architects and consulting engineers behind the Ivanhoe Grammar project approached Megasorber, they needed a solution that delivered:
✅ Modern, visually appealing design
✅ Outstanding echo and noise reduction
✅ Cost-effectiveness
✅ Long-term durability in a demanding aquatic environment

💡The Solution
Megasorber FM50W-RW acoustic panels, installed within a suspended grid system.
The result is a space that not only looks impressive but also offers superior acoustic comfort. Designed to withstand humid, chlorinated pool environments, FM50W-RW delivers lasting performance while enhancing the overall architectural aesthetic.
At Megasorber, we're proud to help create spaces that sound as good as they look.

A big thank you to , and Quality Plaster for making this project happen!

What makes an airport feel calm—even at peak travel times? ✈️🔊

Behind the sleek ceilings of the modern Hobart airport terminals, there’s a quiet Megasorber hero at work. Aircraft noise, constant passenger movement, and expansive open areas can all contribute to excessive reverberation—but thoughtful acoustic design transforms the experience.

By integrating Megasorber Soundmesh G8A‑B behind perforated plasterboard, this Hobart Airport project delivers high‑performance sound absorption without compromising the terminal’s clean, contemporary ceiling design.

The result? A noticeably calmer terminal environment. After clearing security, passengers can enjoy a quieter, more comfortable space—enhancing their journey while maintaining the terminal’s sleek architectural character.

A big thank you to the project partners who made this possible:

Ever wondered how to stop sound from travelling through your walls or ceilings?
Meet the Megasorber B Barrier — your new best friend for peace and quiet.
By adding mass to a wall or ceiling, you make it MUCH harder for noise to break through.

The ideal setup: create a sandwich system
🧱 Install Megasorber B Barrier on top of stud walls or on top of existing plasterboard walls
➡️ Add plasterboard on top and finish it with your favourite paint colour.
💥 Result: Serious sound‑blocking power.
This combo can achieve over 50 dB noise reduction. 🤯

Swipe through to see how this system was installed in the media room of a luxury home — keeping movie night noise inside the room and the rest of the house blissfully quiet. 🎬✨
The homeowners even added it to their bedrooms… Who doesn’t love an uninterrupted night's sleep? 😴💤
And think bigger:
📍 Boardrooms
📍 Medical suites
📍 Any space where privacy matters
Keep your conversations in the room — and everyone else out.
