Contiguous sound attenuating panel system

A contiguous sound attenuating panel system comprising:

• a first sound attenuating panel and a second sound attenuating panel, wherein each of the first sound attenuating panel and the second sound attenuating panel comprise:
• a top surface and a bottom surface;
• a first end and a second end;
• an engagement channel on the top surface of the first end, the engagement channel having a first width;
• an adhesive strip on the top surface of the first end, the adhesive strip having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the second edge is located further from the first end than the first edge, and wherein the adhesive strip is spaced away from the first end a distance at least equal to the first width;
• and
• an engagement flap on the top surface of the second end, the engagement flap extending a second width beyond the second end;
• and
• the engagement channel of the first sound attenuating panel receives a portion of the second end of the second sound attenuating panel such that the top surface of the first sound attenuating panel and the top surface of the second sound attenuating panel are substantially coplanar, and wherein the second width of the engagement flap of the second sound attenuating panel terminates substantially at the location of the second edge of the adhesive strip of the first sound attenuating panel such that the engagement flap of the second sound attenuating panel contacts and substantially covers the adhesive strip of the first sound attenuating panel.
