DIY Acoustic Panels

  • I made these DIY acoustic panels (also known as an acoustic cloud) for my garage workshop to help improve the audio quality of my videos. I made 6 panels and they've made a huge difference to reduce the amount of reverberation due to all of the sound waves that were reflecting off all of the hard surfaces in my garage. I might even make a few more.
    These would be great in a media room, as well, although you might want to use a better quality fabric, or change the design a little. The acoustic panels that I made are just "garage quality" so I would definitely change the design if they were to be placed inside the house.
    I use a Kreg K4 pocket hole jig for the assembly of the frame. This is something I recently won in a contest from Instructables.com. Thank you, Instructables! It has turned out to be a big time saver. I was able to build and install all of these panels in an afternoon.
    Here are Amazon links to some of the things I used to make these acoustic panels:

    I covered my broadband absorbers in a thin plastic film (the stuff used for food), then two layers of cloth outside, this is to prevent any dust entering the room. The two pieces of cloth will stop fibers from escaping and it will also dampen the very high frequency that the plastic might reflect.

    • @JohnSmith-yl9en
      @JohnSmith-yl9en 4 роки тому

      It is not an issue, unless you handle the material. Whether the fabric will reflect *high frequencies i.e. treble* (not absorb) depends whether you can breathe through it (treble has directional dispersion). Just make sure to avoid insulation with harmful binding material like formaldehyde.

    A fine mist coat of diluted PVA can be used to bond potentially stray fibres to a rockwool slab, without closing up any pores in the material. Incidentally, an even cheaper option to burlap is plastic weed control fabric (for those not worried about the appearance, on a tight budget).

    • @Woodumakeit
      @Woodumakeit  5 років тому +2

      They may absorb a small amount of the sound waves, but it's a fairly negligible amount. Another thing that I did after making these was to install rubber anti-fatigue mats on the floor. Not only do they make the shop much more comfortable, but they also help to dampen the reflection of the sound waves. The big reduction in the reverberation definitely makes the shop seem quieter.

      It's possible to do that, but then the screws will be piercing the adjoining pieces very close to their ends, which could cause the wood to split. That's why I did it from the outside.

    my ceiling has this rockwool behind the ceiling panel so i would build them gor the walls but how many? and were
    the new room is 6 mtr x 10 mtr ,and to be used just for guitar rehersal; no issues with neighbours, just to add a bit of deadening and reduction of uneanted reverb what do you suggest ?

    • @Woodumakeit
      @Woodumakeit  7 років тому +1

      Hi Stephen, I'm definitely not an expert in this area, but here are a few thoughts. You mentioned that you have Rockwool behind the ceiling panel. This will help deaden the sound transmission, but it will not help to eliminate the reverb. For this reason, you "might" want to consider hanging a couple of panels from the ceiling to help reduce the reflection of sound waves off the ceiling. It's hard to estimate how many panels to put on the walls. You have a pretty large room, so I would suggest putting 3 or 4 on each of the 10m walls, and maybe a couple on each of the 6m walls. Anything would be better than nothing, and you can also add more at a later time, if needed. If there are others out there with more expertise, feel free to chime in! --Mike

    • @stephenfell4338
      @stephenfell4338 7 років тому

      Wood U Make It i am just having this room built with a concrete floor, and a 2.7 high ceiling; the reason for the rockwool in the ceiling is to reduce the heat, i live in area thats allways 30 deg. This room is to be used as a rehersal room Amplifiers Drums etc.t
      There is no reason to sound proof it, as that is not an issue no neighbours itj ust to eliminate the hollowness, the unwanted echo, the ring, the emptyness. as fully sound proofing would be to dead. so will home made rockwool panels positioned along the 10 mtr walls give me the result kind regards Stephen

    I've seen a number of comments regarding concerns with the safety of using insulation behind breathable fabric. I made similar panels for my studio using Roxul Safe n Sound and now have some concerns. I've read sources saying the material is safe. Wondering if you have dug a little deeper on this.

    • @Woodumakeit
      @Woodumakeit  6 років тому +3

      According to the Rockwool safety data sheets that I've found online, it is not classified as being dangerous to health. Since my panels are left relatively undisturbed, I think there is very little likelihood that any fibers are actually being emitted into the air. I'm more concerned about sawdust from all my tools than I am about the Rockwool fibers.

    • @Woodumakeit

      They help primarily with the reflection of sound waves, but won't really do anything for soundproofing. A way to soundproof the ceiling would be to add another layer of drywall that has been decoupled from the current drywall layer. That's a lot of work though!

      @chrismorgan9002 4 роки тому

      Soundproofing a room/studio is TOTALLY different to sound treating a room/studio. Soundproofing stops sound getting in or out of a room/studio. Sound treating is using sound absorbent panels or tiles to take echo/reverb out of a room/studio you want to record in. Most important thing in sound treating is having bass traps as they absorb all frequencies whereas tiles or panels will only absorb high and mid frequencies... it's a very complex business!

      I think they'd work fine attached to the wall, but if they're set a distance off the wall (or hanging from the ceiling) they will be able to absorb some of the reflected sound waves.

    I'm looking to build some of these for my home theater and studio. your video is awesome and easy to follow, but my question are, isn't it bad to breath in that insulation? How do you keep the fibers from floating around your will space?

    • @Woodumakeit
      @Woodumakeit  7 років тому

      It's probably a good idea to wear a dust mask when cutting and handling the insulation. Apart from that, I don't think it's a big threat because the panels are wrapped with fabric. The batts of insulation are not being disturbed while hanging from the ceiling, so I don't think there will be many fibers floating around OASH has a standard for daily exposure in the workplace. I have no way of measuring where I stand in my workshop, but I think I have a relatively low exposure to the mineral wool fibers.

    Sound absorption is usually defined in terms of the absorption coefficient (usually represented by the Greek letters α) and is defined as the ratio of the absorption to the incident sound energy from a single interaction between the acoustic wave and a certain material.

It is available at HomeDepot for less than $50 for 6x sheets 2' x 4' each. I put a few 1" angle brackets inside the wood frame to hold the board into the frame so that the fabric doesn't need to carry the weight of the material.

    is it dangerous using rockwool materials?

    • @Woodumakeit
      @Woodumakeit  7 років тому

      I'd recommend wearing a dust mask when cutting and handling the insulation. Apart from that, I don't think it's any more dangerous than breathing in sawdust. The panels are wrapped with fabric, so the rockwool is mostly self-contained and relatively undisturbed while hanging from the ceiling, so I don't think there will be many fibers floating in the air. OSHA has a standard for daily exposure in the workplace. I have no way of measuring where I stand in my workshop, but I think I have a relatively low exposure to the mineral wool fibers.

      There are a lot of things we use that will cause cancer if you're exposed long enough. I think rockwool falls into that category. These panels are fully wrapped in fabric , so I'm not to worried that they're going to cause me any harm.

    • @Woodumakeit
      @Woodumakeit  6 років тому +2

      If you wanted to stand them on their ends, you could add some feet made from 2x4s, maybe about 18" long to prevent the panels from falling over. Alternatively, you could make a stand shaped like a triangle that would attach to each side. The apex of the triangle would attach about half way up the side, and you could design it so that the panel is raised up a bit from the floor, which might look nice.

      I would be concerned if there was something disturbing the panels, but they're just hanging there and not moving, so there is little chance of a significant number of the mineral wool fibers being in the air that I'm breathing. I've read that the mineral wool fibers are fairly large, so they're much less dangerous than something like asbestos.
