Claim:
1. An acoustic tile used for a modular wall system, comprising: a substrate layer having a plurality of holes extending at least partially therethrough, wherein the holes in the substrate layer are spaced unequally in a manner dictated by one or more specified structural characteristics of the acoustic tile, and are patterned to provide a specific desired acoustic property, a veneer layer having a plurality of micro-perforations, the veneer layer being attached to the substrate layer over the plurality of holes, the attached substrate layer and veneer layer being configured for attachment to a frame of a modular wall system, and the substrate layer and the veneer layer being configured to provide the acoustic tile with desired acoustic properties, and wherein the acoustic tile is at least partially secured to the frame through a compressive force applied by at least one substrate retaining member and one or more vertical brackets, wherein the compressive force is applied to the acoustic tile by the at least one substrate retaining member on a first side of the acoustic panel and the one or more vertical brackets on a second side of the acoustic tile.
