You can do that. But I suggest you float your speakers as they will definitely disturb the neighbor, especially if you bring up the volume. Come to think of it, your drum set would also generate enormous volume. God luck.

Drapes can be used to absorb mid and high frequencies. If you want to absorb a bit of low, place the drapes about 12 inches from the wall to allow air at the back (between the drapes and wall). I still suggest you float your speakers and let them be nearer you if you are using them as monitors. Good luck.

Need help mga sir, pano ko kaya ite-treat yung attic ko, nandun kasi yung drums ko e. Walang window, tapos wood (plywood ata) yung walls. Anong klaseng foam ba yung nilalagay sa loob ng acoustic panels? Salamat. Yung issue pala ngayon ay parang sumasabog yung tunog kasi walang nagaabsorb ng sound. Nagsabit lang ako ng comforter pero kulang pa din hehe

Absorb about 30 percent of the entire wall, floor and ceiling areas if possible. Comforters on walls, area rugs on floor. Get total length, width and height of each wall, floor and ceiling. Total areas then get 30%. Cover that area with absorptive material like rugs, comforters or thick curtains. That will give you the needed DIY and cheap absorption for your room.

^thank you sir! may i ask if there are any acoustic foams (like this:http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=260-516) available in hardwares?

mikep · « **Reply #456 on:** February 27, 2012, 03:42:16 PM »

If you have cash to spare, better use non flammable absorptive materials like glass wool (glass fiber) or rock wool. Foam is very flammable and dangerous even if treated with anti-flame sprays.

Office divider can soundproof??

Nakabili ako ng murang office divider sa scrap store sa amin, Thinking na pede siya maka-soundproof ng room, Most of us naman siguro nakakita na ng Office divider, So ask ko po kung gagana kaya ito to soundproof a room? Para kasing pede siya, Someone tried?

Mga sir ask ko lang maganda na pangsoundproof ang glass?

mikep · « **Reply #460 on:** April 30, 2012, 08:15:32 PM »

You can use glass for soundproofing but you have to have a double plate glass with differing thickness and the jamb that will hold them should be well caulked to make sure that they are totally enclosed. Allow a large air cavity to help in the isolation or sound proofing.

Mga sir!! Gagawin naming "temporary" studio rehearsal yung isang room sa bahay. Nasa 2nd floor siya. yung sahig is concrete. Ang nakikita kong weak spot para lumabas yung tunog is sa pinto and bintana. Ano ba cheapest/temporary way na pwedeng gawin sa pinto and bintana for sound proofing? TIA

chiinabi · « **Reply #462 on:** May 05, 2012, 04:11:04 PM »

same question as above po mga sir. yung something napwedeng i=plug lang sa bintana?

rockwool, pang treat o pang soundproof?

mikep · « **Reply #464 on:** May 13, 2012, 05:38:15 PM »

1) There is no way to temporarily and "pinaka murang" sound proofing technique. You have to understand that to stop sound you need mass. That a layer of different massive and dense materials. It costs.
2) Glass fiber absorbs so you use it as treatment. Thick plywood, gypsum board in layers, hollow blocks filled, layers of cement boards and other similar types are used to stop the sound. Thus, soundproofing.

Sir/ Mam,

Gusto ko po sana magpatayo ng Rehearsal Studio.

May vacant lot na po, so From Scratch talaga lahat, I've been reading books, pero usually dinadaanan lang yung soundproofing and acoustics. and main problem ko na iniisip ko gabi gabi ay yung Ventilation nung kwarto?

If airtight room = Isolation. Pano po magwowork yung band for hours dun? Split type na aircon naman paikot ikot lang din yung hangin.

One purpose of soundproofing is: NOT TO DISTURB YOUR NEIGHBORS. Inquire them first... Otherwise, anticipate it. make thicker walls than the usual for better isolation. most probably, the LFs will disturb them more than the other freqs, so if in case, you have to concentrate in trapping the LFs. Stopping or trapping the LFs will require you a bigger area for your bass traps.

Pwede ba gumamit ng kahoy instead of metal studs sa frame ng pang double wall? mas makakatipid ba?

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