Library of Virginia Wall Panels

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

If you’ve ever questioned the feasibility of using simple wall panels to reduce noise in a room, look no further for proof that they actually can work. In this video you’ll hear what sounds were like in the rooms at the Library of Virginia before soundproofing panels were installed. In the second half of the video you’ll hear the major difference in reverberation after the panels were hung on the walls.

The panels not only cut down on noise but add a bit of contemporary style to the room. What an amazing, useful, and productive investment!

DIY Room Soundproofing

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Some of us are a bit more visual than others. That’s why we were glad to find this incredible video from ExpertVillage outlining some of the details you need to consider when attempting to sound proof a room on your own. The video talks about covering windows (if that is your choice), checking for places where sound can leak through, and things you can do to absorb sound if you’re on a really tight budget.

Understanding Green Glue

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

The other day we came across an incredible video put out by the Markertek New  Channel explaining exactly why acoustic damping adhesives like Green Glue are quickly becoming superior soundproofing products. Green Glue allows you to isolate or dampen sound without undertaking huge and costly construction projects.

This video shows examples of hard surfaces and how easily they can conduct sound. One is bonded together with a regular adhesive material and the other is bonded with Green Glue. The results of the test are absolutely astounding and you’ll be amazed at the wonderful job Green Glue does at keeping noise from resonating. Check it out for yourself!
