Members Plink Floyd Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 I actually have enough wood scraps to do something like this, but I don't have the patience to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DINpluggedIN Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 You came to KSS looking for the cheap, easy solution? There is a cheap/easy (although perhaps not very satisfying) solution. Ignore the room acoustics -- just don't record anything "live" with a microphone, and listen only with headphones.

Members frogmonkey Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 For DIY absorbers, I heard good things about Billy and Thermo Hemp. thread is in german, sorry... Hmm... that hemp insulation looks good. I've been looking into making panels, but I can't stand the thought of using fiberglass, or whatever nasty stuff the Owens-Corning is. A quick and easy solution that I used are these cotton "sheets" from Audimute. http://www.audimutesoundproofing.com/audimute-sound-absorption-sheets-materials-that-absorb-sound-soundproofing-blankets.aspx I really like them. I imagine one could get more professional results with DIY panels, but for now these are good enough for me. And they give my studio that comfortable padded-cell feel. Actually they are much more pleasant to be around than I thought they would be. I've got them over the windows (lots of glass in my studio), and they are easy to take down or pull aside when I want sunlight. Experimenting, I folded up a couple of them and stuck them in high corners, and they made a big difference-- someday maybe I'll make real bass traps, but for now this does the trick for me. I have a bunch of old blankets, and I consider trying to make something out of them, folded and wadded up in the corner or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DINpluggedIN Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 The obvious material choice is "blue jean" insulation -- cotton, although treated with a boron compound for fire retardency. http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/blue-jean-insulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clusterchord Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hmm... that hemp insulation looks good. I've been looking into making panels, but I can't stand the thought of using fiberglass, or whatever nasty stuff the Owens-Corning is. exact reason why i started with hemp panels. however, the new rockwool panels i'm adding, that are of much bigger density, will be completely insulated with water/air resistant paper on all sides, so no way for particles to come in contact with breathing air in the room. making such a membrane would be a problem for a wideband HF/MF panel, as sound reflects from it in that freq region, but long LF waves don't even "see" the membrane and go right thru it. idea is to use rockwool as bass traps, to complement hemp in the sub 150Hz range. that being said, i did notice that rockwool, in respect to releasing particles when handling it, must be 10 times less problematic than the dreaded glass wool, which is just outright terrible to touch, or to breathe next to.

Members Benedict24 Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi I used a pair of my earplugs from work once to drown out night time noise and it worked like a dream. Cotton doesn't seem to help much but the little rubber earplugs actually did a great job. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
