DIY Acoustics and Soundproofing Thread

boss ano brands readily available ng foam yung ginagamit para madecouple ang studio monitors from the desk, san ba nakakabili nun?

pwede ba kahit anong foam lang ilagay ko sa baba ng studio monitors?

Ito yun.  Hindi puede kahit anong foam.  Baka mamaya lagyan mo ng unan ang ilalim ng monitors mo.  Hehe.

too late, ginawa ko na! hahahaha, may nabibili ba locally niyan boss?

Actually, if your purpose is to decouple, any dense foam would do.  Make sure it has the right density to work well, and must be at least 50 mm thick.  FWIW

50mm = approx 2in.

Sir ask ko lang pwede namang rubber tama?

Yes, basta yung speaker naglalaro sa goma.  In other words, hindi pipit na mabuti yung goma; hindi rin masyadong rigid.

No.  Mas mahal and kahoy at mas maganda ang insulkation performance ng metal stud.

thanks po sir

Mga sir ok ba gamitin yung makapal na rubber flooring na ginagamit sa mga sasakyan for sound absorption ng flooring?

Mag carpet ka.

Wala sa alabang home depot ng rockwool. san pa meron na store na malapit sa laguna?

meron. nasa tapat ng entrance dun sa side ng zapote road ang imc traders. you cant miss it

[krkNdrx]

sir/mam, is there a topic about control room window designs, like the basics etc. slanted glass live room side, air gaps, double parallel glass etc..I'm in the process of making a control room window , any tips will be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance

hi mga sir ask ko lang po. kung anu trabaho ng >>skyline diffusers sa rehearsal studio salamat po

[mikep]

To diffuse sound all over so you control the reflections bouncing from the ceiling.  You have to make calculations to make it effective.  You cannot just put one panel and that's it.  You have to compute.

baka makatulong sa inyo to mga bro

No.  This type of rubber material would act more as a reflector than absorber because of its density.  Use area rugs.  They will serve you better.

Mga sir..ano masasabi nyo dito sa mga audimute na products? Meron kaya nito sa pinas or ano katapat nito dito kung hindi sya available. Naghahanap talaga ako ng pinakamurang way para makapagsoundproof. Not really silent but at least have significant reduction to the noise/sound kapag may nagppractice or jamming. Room dimensions 4.1 x 4.1 meters. Yung height nalimutan ko sukatin. Thanks all!

Good Day mga Sir,

Consult ko lang effectiveness ng recycle paper (cellulose insulation). Would it work same as rockwool as dampening?

I'm planning to use it for a rehersal studio.

Thanks

[mikep]

Just make sure it is fireproofed.  Not used as much nowadays as an absorber.  Have to consult my book on its absorption coefficient figures.

[mr. trigger]

mga kapatid kung sino man may rehearsal studio dyan, post naman po kayo ng pics para magka idea lang po ako, plan ko kasi mag tayo ng studio salamat 

[taps.lawrence]

Good Day Mga Sir,

We need to consult something. We are planning to put up a rehearsal studio in a commercial area. Place is 80 m3. its to big to sound proof everything. We are planning to put a small room (3.5m x 3.5m). Wall will be a 12mm Gypsum rockwool 50kg 12mm gypsum with 2" x 2" wood stud.

Technically we don't need to really soundproof it but rather bring down the noise that will come out. Correct me if I am wrong but I think a got the room inside a room concept with my floor plan.

A full band may create approximately 110 dB spl if I am right. Will i achieve an outside rating of  around 60 dB which I think would not disturb other businesses

Plus we are really on a tight budget

Hope you guys can help me. I've been researching a lot on this matters

Thanks

[mikep]

If budget is an issue, forget glass fiber or rockwool inside the walling.  These only contribute 2 to 3 dB lesser sound.  Better to double or triple the walls, i.e., instead of using 1 1/2 gypsum per wall, make it two or three per face of wall.  Use metal studs instead of wood.  Metal is more inert than wood, thus better isolation.  FWIW

Masmaganda ang rockwool or glassfiber sa room treatment.

[taps.lawrence]

Yes budget is an issue

Thanks Sir Mikep for the advice.


after the construction of the wall treatment naman I'm thinking of putting drapes on 2 opposite wall and slanting the ceiling, if I recall it correctly in this forum  about at least 18 degrees minimum to reduces or remove standing wave.

Acoustics is a very interesting. usually tamad ako magbasa but I can stay reading hours trying to understand

Studio target construction is by Sept.

more power to all of you guys

Instead of using 2 X 2 wood studs, use 16 X 32 mm metal studs but double it (two studs per side) with a 50mm air gap.  The bigger the air gap, the better isolation.

5 degrees of splay is good enough to prevent standing waves.  But if you can spend 18 degrees, better.

Incidentally, for those interested in learning more about acoustics and how to do project studios, I have a Facebook account under TRACKSAcoustics/Studios which you can go visit and read some stuff about acoustics and related subject matters.  You can also ask me questions there and I would be more than happy to answer your queries.
