Soundcoat Reimagines Acoustic Innovation with State-of-the-Art Lab Renovation
Soundcoat has unveiled a fully renovated acoustics lab at its Deer Park, New York facility, signaling a bold reinvestment in engineering excellence across industries where sound control is mission-critical. While the company serves a broad spectrum of sectors, the aerospace community in particular stands to benefit from the lab’s expanded capabilities in acoustic modeling, simulation, and rapid prototyping.
A Precision-Driven Environment for Aerospace Applications
The remodeled lab features a hemi-anechoic chamber for equipment testing, a reverberation room, and a transmission loss window, all essential for validating acoustic materials under real-world conditions. These upgrades are especially relevant to aerospace engineers tackling cabin noise reduction, payload vibration isolation, and environmental testing for avionics enclosures.


Soundcoat’s integration of heat and humidity testing, mechanical strength validation, and advanced materials management software reflects the rigorous standards of aerospace component qualification. The lab’s modular layout also accommodates large-format testing, supporting development for aircraft interiors, propulsion systems, and ground support equipment.
Engineering Collaboration at the Core
The lab’s hybrid meeting spaces and real-time display systems are designed to foster collaboration between Soundcoat’s engineers and its customers. This approach aligns with aerospace industry trends toward co-development and supplier integration, where speed to market and iterative design cycles are increasingly vital.
Chip Morrow, General Manager at Soundcoat, emphasized that the lab is “where ideas become real-world solutions,” a sentiment that resonates with aerospace teams seeking agile partners capable of translating acoustic challenges into manufacturable outcomes.
Acoustic Engineering as a Strategic Asset
In aerospace, acoustic performance is no longer a secondary consideration, it’s a competitive differentiator. Whether mitigating cabin noise in business jets or managing vibration in satellite payloads, the ability to model, test, and refine acoustic solutions in-house is a strategic advantage.
Soundcoat’s lab renovation reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated engineering environments. By housing simulation, prototyping, and validation under one roof, the company shortens design cycles and enhances product reliability, key metrics for aerospace OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
Certification and Global Reach
Soundcoat operates under ISO 9001:2015 certification in both California and New York, with its Irvine facility also holding AS9100:2016 registration and clean room capabilities. These credentials position the company as a qualified supplier for aerospace and defense programs requiring stringent quality assurance and traceability.
As part of the Recticel Group, a European insulation and acoustic solutions provider, Soundcoat benefits from global resources and a shared commitment to advancing low-carbon technologies. This affiliation may open doors for aerospace collaborations focused on sustainability and energy efficiency.
