Hello
We are currently building our own home. The kitchen and dining area share one room with a total size of 35 m² (377 sq ft).
We are considering installing a suspended acoustic ceiling above the dining table to reduce noise.
Would standard drywall panels be sufficient here, or should I opt for a true acoustic ceiling (with perforations)?
Thank you

Well, I mean the "old" Naim NAC / NAP amplifiers (definitely not the latest Wi-Fi devices – WTF are they making these days?)I left the scene back when Harman/Kardon (even before Mercedes) entered the mass market and started targeting the Gucci-Rolex-fake clientele. At that time, no one suspected that DAT would eventually follow the same path as Betamax before it ;-)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Well, at that time, DAT was not an option for me. It just didn’t have any "charm." I had a very charming Revox tape recorder (just watching the device operate was worth every penny...) and I considered (but never bought) using a VCR for hi-fi purposes. That was not uncommon back then... Harman/Kardon was considered somewhat flashy and showy (@11ant, your term is even better for that), but they also scored points for real wood side panels back then ;-)

Back on topic,
our open-plan room, 55m2 (590 sq ft), open to the roof under a pitched roof with a 25-degree slope, almost 5m (16 ft) high, plastered, drywall panels, an empty room with natural reverberation,
furnished with carpet and furniture producing slight echo, no acoustic treatment.
Initially set up with 5 bookshelf speakers and a Bose bass box plus a Yamaha receiver, the result was so-so. A discussion with the finance minister led to a decision to redo it.
Consultation with high-end colleagues and rejection of extreme solutions.
Our solution: 4.0 system, Nuvero 140 and 60 (bass range coming directly from the four speakers, no audible bass box detected) in the four corners of the room.
Pioneer 901 receiver with room calibration system.
Success in creating immersive sound in the open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen with TV, radio, and records.
I think we would have had more problems with echo if the ceiling had been flat.

Multi-family wooden houses with wooden ceilings can also meet sound insulation requirements.
The key components below the ceiling are the spring rails. Sound insulation is achieved with flexible gypsum boards GK 12.5mm (1/2 inch).
Wooden beams should be at least 220mm (8.7 inches) thick with 100mm (4 inches) cavity insulation.

our "all-room" (I don’t like that term) about 80sqm (860 sq ft) floor area over 2 levels, asymmetrical gable roof, height up to almost 7m (23 ft), Ligno Trend ceilings, neither echo nor “damping pressure.”
I can only warmly recommend this stuff.

@11ant
exhibitor with, among others, Dali, Chario, Meracus, Clearaudio, German Physics, Primare... (sales representative)
as dealer with, among others, Gryphon, Dali, Chario, Aragon, Papworth, Moth, NAD, Valvet, Audiomat, Brinkmann, Acoustic Linear, German Physics, HMS, Straightwire, Kimber... that kind of stuff (own shop with a spectacular crash after less than 2 years – I completely misjudged myself and was way overconfident – paid and learned, perhaps that’s why I often have the attitude “it’s just money,” because it comes and goes in contrast to time.)
DAT – was studio standard for quite a while and was thus quite successful. I even had it in the car. Today, car systems are unmodified, only in the motorhome did I invest again.
