About Commercial Acoustics
Founded in 2013 in Tampa. Engineering-led, family-founded, USA-manufactured. We design, build, and field-test the soundproofing and acoustic systems that go in commercial, healthcare, education, and civic projects nationwide.
Tampa-Founded, Engineering-Led, Independent
Commercial Acoustics was founded in 2013 in Tampa, Florida by a small team of engineers focused on solving real-world noise problems. Twelve years on, we serve architects, contractors, owners, and public agencies in all 50 states from a Tampa headquarters and five regional offices.
The company is family-founded and independently run. We engineer assemblies, manufacture our own products in Tampa, train installers on site, and field-test the result — so the rating in the spec book is the rating that gets installed.
Day-to-day work spans commercial soundproofing, acoustic consulting, and sound masking. Every recommendation is backed by a measurable target and field verification.

The People Behind the Projects
A mix of acoustic engineers, project managers, sales engineers, and manufacturing leads — most based in Tampa, the rest distributed across the regional offices.
Walker Peek founded Commercial Acoustics in 2013 while finishing his time at Kennedy Space Center. A casual brainstorming session with a friend — and a comment from his wife about how loud they were — sparked the idea. Unwanted noise is a problem nearly everyone faces. That realization became a mission to create quieter, more productive spaces — and Commercial Acoustics was born.
