US EditionWhy Tiles Make Nervous Kids Calmer at School
- Japanese researchers studied how sound insulation tiles can calm nervous preschool children starting school by improving classroom acoustics.
- The study addressed preschoolers' stress related to being separated from their caregivers, interacting with unfamiliar individuals, and struggling to hear clearly in noisy, echo-filled classrooms.
- The team installed polyester fibreboard, a sound-absorbing material, on the ceiling of one classroom and compared it to a similar room without such treatment.
- After six months, video and audio analyses showed louder children in the untreated room, with findings presented at a joint acoustics conference in New Orleans.
- The research, led by Kumamoto University student Ikuri Matsuoka, highlights how reducing reverberation supports clearer communication and suggests applying acoustics standards in schools.
