Does cheap acoustic foam from Amazon perform as well as Auralex foam or other acoustic treatments? We put it to the test. The results are actually surprising. I'm not just saying that. I was stunned by the results.

Brilliant, great testing... so glad I watched this before purchasing amazon absorption foam, can't believe micro fibre cloth out performs it.

@kevin_A613 Год назад

This was fantastically informative and helpful. Thank you so much for making the effort to share this with the world.

@SevensPinballorama Год назад

Thanks.

You're so welcome!

Really interesting video. Id love to see more of these tests but with different brands of foam. I’m using Pro Acoustix foam and they claim its designed to reduce high mids and above. Im building some proper bass traps and using other treatment but keen to see if the more mid range brands of foam perform any better!

@masitraproductions977 Год назад

Subbed by the way, great content!

@SevensPinballorama Год назад

I'd be interested to see that as well. From what I can tell, a good rule of thumb is if the company who makes the foam doesn't provide specifications on what the foam can do, it's probably junk.

@SevensPinballorama Год назад

Thank you.

all frequency specific treatment aside, would the amazon foam help for just a general echo? or is it basically the same as what you were explaining? so would only stop a minimal amount of high end echo perhaps?

@SevensPinballorama 2 года назад

The stuff I tested is virtually acoustically transparent. If you treated an entire room in the stuff, yes, you would get a slight reduction in high end echo - but you might not even really notice the difference. You'd probably do a better job acoustically just hanging some old blankets or thick curtains on the walls.

Can you please test 5 llayers of regular bath towels?

@SevensPinballorama 2 года назад

It might be fun to make a video testing some of the things that are urban legends in the home studio. Things like those paper egg crates, mattress pads, carpet, and other things people think make good soundproofing or acoustically treat a room. If I do a video like this, I'll do towels as well.

My neighbor must have gotten a new set of subs. The boom boom boom goes on for hours. My office does have sound proofing and sound treatment. If it's not the neighbors, it's the fly overs from Nellis Air Force Base. Jet engines and subwoofers create the same problem that is impossible to eliminate. Or is it possible to get rid of that 30hz and lower noise?

@SevensPinballorama 10 месяцев назад

It would be difficult. Sound proofing is difficult and expensive in existing buildings. Mass (layers of drywall) would be the only thing you could do. Depending on the attic space, you could add more insulation, which would have other benefits, but the sound would still come though the walls, doors, windows - the windows being a major weak spot.

@rayvenj12 2 года назад

Is your test setup not setup improperly? Isn't it testing soundproofing instead of acoustics?

@SevensPinballorama 2 года назад

They go hand in hand in a way. Porous treatments absorb the velocity of the sound waves. You can measure how well treatments work by measuring what can pass through them - and what can't. The tests I did aren't 100% scientifically accurate measurements, but we can get a pretty good idea of what the treatment is capable of.

My dogs did NOT like the sound frequencies from this video! 😆

@SevensPinballorama 8 месяцев назад

HA HA. No, probably not.

@Daniel-dj7fh Год назад

But they're good enough to make a gaming room abit more quiet right

@SevensPinballorama Год назад

No. Not really.

@1RungAtATime 2 года назад

Yep, just audio-useless sponges. I put them on the wall behind my hanging guitars to protect their bodies. So it's good for that as well as pet beds.😜

Seems I’m going to Home Depot for Rockwell then I also heard fiberglass was really good

@SevensPinballorama 2 года назад

A good rule of thumb is use rockwool for treatments up to 6 inches thick. If you're going thicker than 6 inches, pink fluffy insulation works a bit better.
