@@MassiveEllie No it won't. I have worked construction for years doing this. Small Holes fill with putty and go away after you paint. The texture hides the small putty hole. If you damage a large chunk of texture, you WILL have to retexture your wall, and that texture will never match the rest of the wall of a novice does it, so you need to hire out. The cost to repair holes is ten bucks for spakel or mud"putty" and paint The cost to repair large chunks of texture missing, probably around 400 bucks and paint, though they will probably paint it pretty cheap since usually they do both. Take my advice, the way he does it in the video is probably the best non permanent way to do this. It's a pretty solid idea. But the way the Internet works, nobody will Believe me. Oh well
@@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)
