Best Sound Absorption Materials - www.AcousticFields.com

- - In this video we're going to talk about the "best" sound absorption materials and why it is important to consider T.A.P. (Type, Amount, Position) and usage. Watch the video to find out more!

I get the point; there's no universal sollution that's perfect for every application. Still, the video is titled "Best Sound Absorbtion Materials" yet you barely mention any materials, or give any concrete tips. Nothing is discussed in depth and addressed appropriately. "Everything just depends on something" mentioned in the passing and then the video is over. It's very vague, and I learned nothing from watching it. In the future, it might be useful to have a clear idea and direction for these kinds of videos, and to title them properly.

This is an awesome channel. I love the direct / no non-sense approach.

Thank you for the explanation.

I have a question. What material would work best in a wooden cabinet with a 3d printer inside? The box is around 60x60x80 cm. The db is between 40 and 62 hz at highest. The frequency is at 2 levels very noticable: 1500 hz and 3400 hz. The lowest frequency comes from the fan and is 300 hz, but is not a sound that needs special attention in my opinion.
The main objective is to make it less loud when the cabinet is locked.

The plan was to cover the walls of the cabinet with polyurethane foam panels, but I would first like to have a professional opinion on the matter.

Thank you for your time.

I have a hall which is being used for a contact center. The hall is 40 x 15 and it has open tables. The ceiling is aroudn 12 ft high. Do you think making partitions on the tables to separate out the seats would work to reduce echo and disturbance between the seats due to people talking on phone? If yes, then what material could be the best for the partitions so that it absorbs sound.

[grandtester]

What would the best material be to implement in a ventilated box for an inverter generator running at around 58-65 decibels to make it quiet enough so you can run it at night while camping without bothering the neighbors or yourself?

What’s the best material to hang on the walls and floor if I live in an upstairs apartment and want to play the saxophone. The apartment has no insulation and has 1/2” drywall. Vinyl floor.

Can i Make Acoustic panel with cotton????Plz answer me I will Start

It's for a water pump to get rid of water going off at about every 2 minutes at spring time.I intend to build a box over it with sound absorbing material inside the box.

Hi Dennis, what is the best way to eliminate the sound and vibration of my house, due to heavy traffic, over an unpaved road, that is 50 feet from my house, and is running over a huge drainage into the harbor. I have felt the vibration as small quakes followed creaking of walls and ceilings. I’m actually worried since the highway Dpt. Will not be repairing the road for another 2 years. It has been suggested to do blocking the joists in the 4feet crawl space, which has helped a little. hopefully you can help. I welcome any wisdom.

[recordman]

Dennis, I really appreciate your "just the facts" approach to acoustic treatment. In his video, you kept emphasizing amplitude/frequency. When I hear those two terms married together, I think EQ. Aside from taming reverb, could it be said that a well-treated room acts as an EQ in itself? The principles and physics of this discipline are amazing!

[jeffh]

Could ypu please elaborate on what you mean when you say too mich energy for too small a room. Is this too high amplutude? Too large speakers/subwoofers?? Any recommendation for 2 subwoofers diameter/power for 330 sq foot room for example? Thanks

What's the best material for dampening the sound from generators? Say you have a generator, with that very loud engine noise. And you build a little 10x10' room for it. Which material should you use to kill the sound as much as possible?

[qigong]

Question: just bought an upright piano and I didn’t realized how freaking loud that stringed coffin is! How would you quiet down the sound coming out of the back, a few inches from a shared wall with a neighbor? Goal being to prevent sound transmission to the neighbor and also deaden the loudness and reverb inside the room with piano. (Piano in a living room, nowhere else to put it). Piano store suggests stuffing holes in the backside with 3”furniture foam. Low cost please. Thanks to anyone responding.

I'm a formulation chemist working on numerous sound and thermal insulation attenuation coatings for ships and various marine engine rooms, where we need to attenuate 30 hz to 300 hz.

I have found that cotton bath towels are a cheap but somewhat effective for certain Hz.
But not applicable for naval and or marine application.
Great to watch.

I have been listening to your tutorials for several years.

What would you recommend to reduce the sound in my house from the rain hitting my metal roof during heavy rain.I’ve seen 85 db in my living room.with frequency between 100to 1000 Hzs.

[levijessegonzalez]

when building a broadband absorber, is it wise to use thick plywood on the BACK of the panel?

[oinkooink]

What do ya's think about polyester panels for low freq absorbtion?

[radiczofficial]

My friend lives in an old house that is made out of "adobe brick (mud + hay)" and in his room there should be a very big problem with 42 hz, because width and lenght are the same. But in reality the room has a slight problem with that frequency. I assume that type of building block has a little low frequency absortion. Or something like that.

👌I don't know what else to say other than thanks for the helpful video!

I want to sound dampen VitaMix Pro 500 blender. Minimal thickness materials in 2 parts Lower motors base surrounds & a slip over cover for container.
Idk what my frequencies are yet but lot of highs. Out loud it’s up to 93-95 dB. I’m ok w/ bringing down to 62-66 dB
