Thanks for the response! What type of sound dampening material do you plan on using? We have used a little bit of the stuff( dampening pannels and canisters/tubes) at work to limit the Db in the powder paint room but they were a little on the expensive side.. |
Using rigid fiber glass insulation wrapped with felt absorbs sound very well. It's pretty cheap and it's easy to make. Owens Corning 703 is very good, but the other numbers have different ranges of sound absorption. You can check out
this link to see the coefficients of absorption - the higher the number the better. I actually have OC703 wrapped in felt in my apartment. I've built my own speakers, but the room is so live I needed to dampen some of the sound. It's really neat when you put your ear right next to the panel; you feel like you're deaf in that ear!
1) Buy rigid fiber glass (oc703 is good)
2) Wrap felt around rigid fiber glass
3) ???
4) Profit!
