Noise Control Ceiling Hanger for Wood-Framed Projects
KINETICS® WAVE Hanger is a high-performance noise control ceiling hanger designed for wood-framed floor and ceiling assemblies. It is described by Kinetics as an essential component for “better than code” noise reduction in wood-framed projects, using a unique leaf spring design to improve acoustic isolation at lower frequencies where impact noise and structure-borne vibration are often most noticeable.
1/2-Inch Deflection Performance with Sound Clip Simplicity
The WAVE Hanger offers 1/2-inch deflection spring hanger performance while maintaining the spacing and ease of installation typically associated with sound clips. This makes it suitable for contractors and acoustic consultants looking for an efficient isolated ceiling solution for apartments, villas, hotels, home theaters, studios, amenity spaces, and wood-framed residential developments.
Improved Low-Frequency Noise Control
The WAVE Hanger is engineered to outperform resilient channel and standard sound clips, especially at lower frequencies. Kinetics lists a 15 dB ISPL impact improvement over resilient channel at 50 Hz and a 6 dB TL airborne improvement over resilient channel at 50 Hz. It is also listed for assemblies achieving STC 60+ and IIC 56+ performance, depending on the tested floor-ceiling construction.
Integrated Ceiling and Floor Noise Control Approach
The system is designed for use with Kinetics IsoLayment BR or HB 3 mm noise control floor underlayment. This supports a low flooring profile, with Kinetics listing IIC 56/57 performance for ceramic tile or wood assemblies with only 1/8 inch / 3 mm floor buildup. This makes WAVE Hanger practical for projects where floor height, ceiling depth, acoustic comfort, and construction efficiency must be carefully coordinated.
Project-Ready Acoustic Ceiling Isolation
For consultants, contractors, developers, and acoustic specialists in the UAE and wider GCC region, KINETICS® WAVE Hanger provides a practical solution for improving airborne and impact sound isolation in wood-frame buildings. It fastens to wood structural framing, uses a furring channel cradle installation method, and is listed with seismic category capability A–F, helping support project coordination where acoustic performance and installation reliability are both required.
