Such materials are typically tested for mid-range frequencies (where the pitch of the human voice is located). The rating system is on a scale from 0 to 1 in ten increments. The closer the rating is to 1, the more effective it is at reducing sound. A higher NRC rating keeps the noise level within a cubicle low because the sound isnt bouncing back into the interior of the cubicle.STCSTC stands for Sound Transmission Class, which is a measurement used to express the sound transmission loss through a wall assembly. An STC rating of 30 represents a sound transmission loss of 30 dB. Humans perceive a loss of 10 dB as a 50% reduction of sound. The taller a cubicle panel is, the better it will be at reducing noise transmission from one work area to the next. Obex acoutstical tile/soundboard has an NRC rating of .35 (ASTM Method C423) and an STC Rating of 26 (ASTM Method E90.)
