Members thankyou Posted May 5, 2018 Members Share Posted May 5, 2018 Just saw this on the Japanese channel (NHK). It's a paint that uses some kind of ceramic technology that has won some awards for its insulation properties. It insulates for both temperature and sound. There was a little club that was in a noisy part of the city, and the proprietor said that it cut down on both outside noise getting in and inside sound getting out. It might have some good use in a studio. I don't know how much it costs, but common paint starts around $20 a gallon to many multiples of that for specialty coatings. Roof coating for my RV costs 80 to 100 a gallon, and it only coats about 100 square feet. Don't know if this link works, I just hand copied it from their home page.

Phil O'Keefe Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I've poked around a bit on their site (although I haven't watch any of their videos yet), but other than one spot where it says it "deadens sound", I didn't see much of anything mentioned about its sound absorption capabilities. Looks like it's a pretty effective thermal insulator though... but I would still like to see if they have any acoustical test data on it. But it definitely sounds interesting...

Members thankyou Posted May 8, 2018 Author Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 The thing that impressed me was a clip of an apartment very close to a rail line as the train passed by. No before and after, but the noise was very low compared to the voices of the people in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Again, it definitely sounds interesting, but I'm always skeptical, especially when no acoustical test data is given... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
