Cloth Ears

There's a definite distinction to be made between sound absorption and sound proofing. Absorption is more concerned with correcting or changing the room acoustic so, for instance, the low frequencies sound less overblown or to make the mid to high frequencies more intelligible. Proofing is concerned with preventing the transmission of sound from one space to another. Both use different techniques and different materials although a combination of the two can be employed.

To soundproof a room you need to look at mass loaded sheet installed as a sound barrier between partition walls and floors. Better still is to go for some fairly serious structural re-work ââ'¬â€œ as suggested above - using fiberglass panels with a bonded mass loaded backing. A lot of work!

In-room absorption (a pair of corner bass traps for instance) is much less effective at preventing transmission of low frequency sound compared to sound proofing techniques; it will help tho' but you do need to think BIG at low frequencies for porous type absorption. Have a look here

Alex / Tenson, if you can come up with a design that passes the ââ'¬Å"don't think you're having that in hereââ'¬Â female test then you'll be on to a winner! Looks good!
