What Acoustic facts does

Acoustic Facts Scandinavia AB is a Sweden-based, privately held firm that operates an interior-acoustics platform combining third-party product certification, a standardized acoustic product database, and engineering calculation tools. The company was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Lidköping with 1-10 employees. Its core products are: (i) a curated database of 337 certified acoustic products from approximately 11 furniture and interior-product manufacturers; (ii) a web-based reverberation-time calculation tool implementing EN 12354-6:2004 methodology; (iii) a smartphone-based reverberation-time measurement app (iOS and Android) that uses an external microphone and a structured measurement protocol; and (iv) educational courses and seminars on room acoustics and procurement. The proprietary N10 metric standardizes product comparison by expressing how many units of a given product are required to achieve 10 m² Sabine of sound absorption at the 500 Hz speech-relevant octave band.

Acoustic Facts generates revenue primarily through professional services: paid third-party certification of manufacturers' acoustic products (where the manufacturer's test data and documentation are reviewed by Acoustic Facts' acoustic experts before publication in the database) and paid training courses in room acoustics, procurement, and building acoustics. The calculation tool, product database, and measurement app are distributed on a free, self-serve basis, functioning as a product-led growth (PLG) funnel that attracts architects, interior designers, acoustic consultants, and office/commercial space managers, while certification and education drive the actual monetization. The company holds a partnership with Möbelfakta, the Swedish furniture labeling system, such that Acoustic Facts' certification satisfies Möbelfakta's acoustic-data requirements, providing a regulatory-style hook into Swedish public procurement processes. Distribution is digital-first (website, LinkedIn, content/SEO, app stores), with direct sales engagement only for certification engagements.

The company operates with no disclosed external funding, no parent entity, no public ticker, and no disclosed revenue. It is profitable or self-sustaining on a small scale, and its strategic positioning is as a standards-driven, domain-authoritative intermediary between acoustic product manufacturers and the architects/designers who specify them, primarily in the Swedish and broader Nordic furniture and interior-acoustics market.
