@@catner70This requires a lot more work. Cheapest, easiest option is sound proofing blankets, but those are heavy and need to cover 100% of the wall you are wanting to block sound from. Better than that would be a second layer of drywall with green glue applied in between, which would be a significant improvement. Keep in mind, if the room you want to treat has windows, those will be the weakest link, and your only real option is completely covering them with acoustic blankets or replacing them with good triple pane acoustic windows.
@@catner70 Amazon has them, as well as Trademark Soundproofing. The thing to keep in mind, is when I said 100% coverage, that didn't mean that it would sound proof your room 100%. What that meant was to see any meaningful difference, you need to cover 100% of the wall that you want to reduce sound transmission. Think of it this way. If you have a window open, and a lawnmower running right outside the window, its loud. If you completely shut the window, it gets noticeably quieter. But if you just barely crack the window, almost all of the sound is back. That is how sound transmission works. If you allow any gaps in treatment, it will be almost like having no treatment.
That extra sheet of drywall is whats doing most of the shound reduction. The foam pannels unless they are about 4" thick will only really help with sound deadening. Your audio will also sound clearer if you don't record into a corner. Avoid corners and paralell walls if you can.
Recording sound in a corner was a bad idea to begin with. The walls will bounce the sound off quicker compared to an open space or just centre of a wall. But glad to know the foam helped and the office actually looks pretty good in the end.
Depends if you face the corner, or not. If you stay in the corder, and the mic faces the, then not a bad idea, as the sound that comes in directly to the mic will be absorbed before it enters the mic
I tried the glue but after a while it all started to fall off. So i decided to use small nails and it works perfectly. And if your worried about a bunch of holes in the walls, well im here to tell you that its fine. Because if you dont ever plan to take it off of the wall, then you shouldnt be worried about it because nobody is gonna see it.
Sound proofing? No. You need to build another wall that insulated with the outside wall to do barely some sound proofing. Sound absorbing? Barely. But you need thicker panel for dampening the sound.
You're not having to deal with adhesive which can be a lot of work and potentially strip the paint. And you can get a tube of caulk to fill in the holes for $5
It only treats high frequencies due to its material and thickness, use knauf fiberglass to make sound panels that acoustically treat a higher range of frequencies.
Bro, stick some bristol board or card stock onto the back of those foam pads using some adhesive spray and the 2-way tape will work better against the wall.
Bruh, these little foam things are useless for low frequency sounds (bass). At best, they absorb highs and maybe high mids. They will not help you. I suggest moving or complaining. Way to help is building another new wall on top of your existing one with lots of mass.. or you can do it the studio way and have 3-4 feet of insulation covered by fabic :) low frequency is very difficult to isolate
I wish there was something like this like a box just to fit a mattress so can sleep without being disturbed by loud snoring from the same room, would definitely get inside that box
That’s not soundproofing, it’s sound deadening. Soundproofing is blocking sound from going through to the other side. Those foam panels absorb sound, but still goes through it.
I did this and had y panels for u for years, bought long sheets of school paper the one at sold pharmacies for school projects and used thumb tabs to make small holes and then glued the panels to the construction paper.
They barely work as acoustic treatment due to it's poor density. And if they do, they only reduce high frequency reflections, so you still have problems with longer waves (low frequency)
I want to invest on any product that’s going to help me have a private life from my neighbors, they are all dangerously nosy 🧐 dang! Them people have no life other than my own and they constantly itch themselves almost to death just eavesdropping at my apartment door just to listen and hear all of my life😡 I’ve forbidden my family and friends from visiting me cause I just have no idea to force them people to meddle in their business and to leave my life alone so I came across your video.
Are they good if i put them on the ceiling? I have a neighbour hwo runs all night long and god know what is he doing,like moving furniture all night every night for a year. Please help me. Tell me if these will help
What about just in the bedroom ceiling because the neighbour stumps hard and he does screwdriving and hammering at 8 in the morning up to 3 hojrs every week
@@justlljamminIt won’t help at all for blocking sound from neighbors. You need decoupled mass for that. That gets very difficult, and very expensive if you don’t want to just hang heavy acoustic blankets on all the walls.
I find it supremely irritating that literally EVERYONE on YT calls sound treating "sound proofing". Proof is an absolute term in this sense, meaning youre not reducing noise from escaping or coming in, but silencing it completely (which foam does NOT do, even remotely)
Good tip ❤
Can get a pin?
sure
Yup, that's what I did and it works wonders. Get small nails so you can't see it and you can remove multiple times
@@drummerbee8042great idea
He said not ruin my walls , proceeds to drill holes through them.
Having glue on the walls will ruin the paint on the other hand All you need is a little filler to get rid of the drill holes.
@@ChilloutG reread what you just wrote 😂 bruh, you can just paint over the walls too 🤦♂️ the filler will look much worse than the paint will 🤷♂️
@@MassiveEllie if it doesn’t leave chunks of foam all over it too.

It doesn't help with soundproofing but it does help with acoustically treating the room. There's a big difference between the terms :)
i need a soundproofing to handle from outside to inside, or insdie to outside.. what should i buy?

Didnt realize the difference till i started my research. I hope people really look into what they're doing before they get their hopes up

No. Rockwool , 15cm thick minimum
This mans live on the edge. I would not use gorilla anything with my bare hands :D but love the short - going to try this at some point
The dry wall was the biggest help. The best way to stop sound is to add mass.
I think some paper and thumb tacks would’ve worked just as good without having to drill into your wall?

Could’ve just used tacks bro
used dry walls that he had to NAIL into the wall so that doing it the other way doesnt mess up the walL?
Just think about it

Hi dose it worth to make it if my room has ducting air con and the guest bedroom just next to me ?
The real question is will be quiet for the people in the other room?
yes from my understanding the panel’s are meant to absorb the sound so it should have a harder time going through the wall
It absorbs echoes. Not sound. For sound isolation you need mass, not foam. @@NdEfOrYdOdKfI
Reduces high frequencies but bass pitches Will go through without any problem
Soooo recommend anything? @@ZgarceaOficial
@@NdEfOrYdOdKfIAs stated, those panels only absorb higher frequencies, so most sound will go right through them.
Why Just Don't use Both side tape😊
can it prevent knocking sound? my neighbour like to slam his door loudly
I think not... Your neighbour is an asshole. These acoustic panels only help with resonating sound and echo inside the room
Damn, people get so bent out of shape 😆
No difference
Bro, stick some bristol board or card stock onto the back of those foam pads using some adhesive spray and the 2-way tape will work better against the wall.
When a video title soundproofing instead of acoustic treatment you know they you are seeing a RBL video
Wait does the sound come through??? My problem is Im trying to sleep and I can hear the fkn BASE THROUGH CEMENT WALLS!!!! Help??!!!!!

Please use FIRE RESISTANT FOAM, because the cheap stuff is a huge fire hazard.
That’s not soundproofing, it’s sound deadening. Soundproofing is blocking sound from going through to the other side. Those foam panels absorb sound, but still goes through it.
Gorilla tape mounting works very well for me
Acoustic foam does not help with soundproofing, only acoustic treatment.
get owens 703 way better that acoustic foam is just for looks but for sound it makes no difference
It doesn't do anything but dull the higher frequencies. Honestly you don't need these at all and they really are a waste of money
I did this and had y panels for u for years, bought long sheets of school paper the one at sold pharmacies for school projects and used thumb tabs to make small holes and then glued the panels to the construction paper.
Never record in a corner that's the WORST spot to be in any room.
Still kinda echoy on some parts but still better than noting
Great video thank you
That’s sound treatment, not sound proofing
Drywall did the job than the foam.
The drywall works not the foam panel
Foam is for high frequencies dude
T pins
Thank you. Working on a small recording studio and been wondering.
Exactly what I was looking for ❤
command strips do work. Ive hung these before with said strips.

Bro What camera are you using? and Mic Your responce will highly appreciated?
Wow, you proved that it's kinda useless....invest in real sound treatment.
If you do a litle research about this, you will find thats a purpose of that foam. But good tip for not ruining your walls with glue
I filled my room with asphalt and shredded rubber. There is zero sound coming out of my room now.
I like your studio broo
cover them dogs up
This is really smart, 🔥🔥🔥
So that foam probably works more like a diffuser rather than an absorber
Try toothpaste 😉
No, I get the PIN!
Soundproofing and room treatment are two different things
Command strips do work, you just have to use the heavy duty ones even though that seems counterintuitive since it's just foam.
Very basic stuff: soundproofing is not the same as acoustic treatment.
If the idea is dumb and it works, its not a dumb idea
bullshit
What if you laid some paper down then foam ?
That was smart to use wood to glue the panels onto first
What a usless video ....
what a *useless* comment...
nope
That’s sound treating a room not sound proofing
Are they good if i put them on the ceiling?
I have a neighbour hwo runs all night long and god know what is he doing,like moving furniture all night every night for a year.
Please help me.
Tell me if these will help
They won't keep your neighbors sound out, they're only good for deadening sound and keeping it in your room.
Ask me how I know 🙄
I don’t understand how anchoring drywall to the wall isn’t bad for the wall?
No glue
Do these help block out outside noise too?
Wonderwood something like a guitar or piano would sound like
Move them away from the wall a couple of inches will also help to raise the TL. Hope this helps.
It I don’t have enough foam to do whole room should I focus on corners?
I would spread them out equally around the walls. Just having them around will break up the soundwaves.
it's useless, study physics
Smart asf, thank you!
Wow ❤ How should I go about having a gypsum board in the ceiling?
No it doesn’t save your money!
