Buck_Choi Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 egg carton i heard that doesnt really work i saw it in a movie once but, i think it only works with high freqencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck_Choi Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 prob. i tried googling but nothing really comes up, more DIY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 most things will help with reflections back into the room, nor much with stopping low frequency getting out. Really it's just mass that'll do that or wall, space, more wall (the room within a room ideally).there's no cheap way to soundproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapimp Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 i have a friend who carpet his walls and ceiling. this was in malaysia so dont know how much it cost here. he used it for jamming with his band but should be the same for DJing as well i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 did it really sound proof it any good ? was it silent? or could was it liek half the sound inside? or a quater.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapimp Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 dont know. was in the room when they were jamming lolbut i reckon carpets would absorb sound pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 egg cartons wont sound proof neither will carpet. there are some foams you can get that work well, but some get quite pricy. egg cartons i think are good at dispersing the sound so the sound hits the egg carton then the sound boucnes of in heaps of different directions which helps the sound die out a little quicker but you wont hear much diffecance in your room. might help any reverb. carpet..... meh. might help but i cant see how its only about 10mm thick maybe if its shag pile it might make a big differance. if your going to use carpet i would say that its the under lay of thin foam that works the most with carpet. FYI i'm a drafter / building designer so have some experince with sound proofing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaytee Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hey manI suggest putting carpet / hanging drapes up on your walls. Simple and inexpensive.I also heard that rough surfaces absorbs some noise as well so put up rough-surfaced furnishings.This video should helphttp://www.ehow.com/video_4971320_sound ... eaply.html It'll be pretty hard to sound proof after your room has been built.

SourceRaver Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 A muso once told me that using insulation bats of a particular type is also good for sound proofing. Other than that I read somewhere that lead is the best solution but that wouldnt be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I read somewhere that lead is the best solution but that wouldnt be cheap.yep, acustic wall battens, they go inside you walls in the frame. great for sound proofing so you wont hear anything out side the room. but just having plaster board on the inside will cause your sound to bounce around like crazy..... but thats another topic. I use a few different programs for drafting.. mainly AutoCAD but it'll all be saved off as a pdfPly wood is ok...... strong and light but you couldn't build the whole thing out of this you'd still need a frame. timber is still probably your best bet.
