SLN/CR works!
We take our product research seriously at SLNCR, which is why we've invested in extensive lab testing of our technology. We have the data to prove that our product is effective in impeding nuisance sounds, and we stand by its quality and performance.
Research Papers published with Acoustical Society of America (ASA) and Institute of Noise Control Engineers (INCE)
Our research on nano-fibers for sound mitigation has shown great potential in improving the acoustic quality of sports facilities, including indoor and outdoor pickleball courts. With the backing of the INCE and Acoustical Society of America, you can trust research is reliable and effective. Let us help you create a better acoustic experience for your pickleball courts today!

Sound Transmission Loss tests performed by Pickleball Sound Mitigation, LLC.
As evidenced in the SLN/CR Test data Report, this barrier demonstrates remarkable effectiveness in sound insulation, showcasing significant decibel reduction across a broad frequency range (100 Hz to 8000 Hz). The Pickleball Sound Transmission Loss (PSTL) test and Frequency Response Sweep Test results underscore its exceptional ability to dampen and absorb sound.
Acoustic Impedance Tube Testing with nano-fibers
Acoustic impedance is the resistance to the propagation of ultrasound waves through tissues. It is the product of the density and speed of sound in the tissue. We tested our product in combination of acoustic foam product (which is industry standard for lower frequency sounds).
Research data indicates our product doubled sound absorbtion performance versus simple acoustic foam.
Free-field test to detect sound absorbtion at various ranges using multiple microphones
In September 2023 we performed a full scale field test at a 6 court facility in Kansas City. The goal of the study was to measure how our product absorbed sound at 5, 10, 20 and 200 foot ranges.
