Sound Dampening As Fast As Possible

Let's face it - life is noisy. So what kinds of things do we use to block out unwanted noise, both now and in the future?

Linus, I just got new headphones, and this video was the first thing I started playing when I plugged them in for the first time. You scared the crap out of me lol

My school music room needs sound dampening; our band of 60 people is crammed into a tiny room and 20 of those are fucking trumpets that blast all the time. We REALLY need this lol.

If ur wondering, "sound dampening foam" will do nothing to reduce sound travelling through a wall.
All it will do is reduce acoustic reverb within the space where the sound is.
So in a car, sound dampening foam might give a little benefit by reducing reverb because its such a small space that reducing reverb might help the overall sound you need to block.
If you want to deaden sound (aka reduce the sound traveling through a wall, aka sound proofing) you need to add mass. Whatever is the most dense and will vibrate the least, will block the sound waves the best.
Foam isn't dense, therefore it will not stop sound going straight through it. Simple physics.

Did Linus get permission to date Esther's sister?

Uhm Linus, It's Sound Damping, not Dampening. Dampening is to make wet while Damping is to reduce in intensity.

The trains outside his workplace is the reason this video exist today. Thank you noisy trains that reside within Canada!

As someone who is a sound designer these audio techquickies are a cool way to see the science behind the stuff I work with. Keep it up :)

Netflix 'n crash into a sound dampening pole.

Linus god dammit I thought there was something wrong with my speakers and I turned them up and then you go "AAAND THAT!" and it made the fucking dog bark from upstairs.

If you're looking for best practical ways to make your theater or studio quieter, this video isn't it.

Why do Americans/Canadians call Nissan Neesan?

[juanmendez]

[MrSheepCo]

Turned my audio to max at the start of the video. You troll Linus! xD

[laitela]

This video was just a build-up for the joke in the end.

When linus mentioned trains, there was a train passing by my house. You're a wizzard linus!
