Is Acoustic Foam Worth It?

TIME REQUIRED: 2 Hours | DIFFICULTY: Average
      Are you curious if it's worth the money to spend in acoustic foam? Let's take a closer look at what the acoustic foam offers and see if it is the best remedy to your sound issues. Acoustic foam is a soft material that captures reverberation. This simply ensures that, rather than the sound reflecting off flat surfaces such as painted drywall, acoustic foam panels can trap sound waves.

      In SLAPTrain video, he is a gaming content creator on YouTube and he shares that soundproofing foam is made to reduce the echo in your room. Acoustic foam focused on its thickness. The foam's thickness defines what sound frequency can be absorbed by the panel. Thinner acoustic foams capture top range vibrations when high, mid-range, and low-end frequencies are absorbed by thicker acoustic foam. Bass traps are extra deep and the lowest of the low frequencies are absorbed. Science is founded upon the fact that thicker material diffuses lower frequency waves. The lower - end waves are longer and it requires a thicker substrate to adequately absorb the wave.

What challenges are solved if you install an acoustic foam?

      Arrow Zoom acoustic foam will solve different acoustic issues that you might have like echo, reverberation, and sound waves. In a sound studio, broadcast booth, streaming room or blog room, or other places where you might be sound audio, these are common issues. If you are an influencer, these foams are one of the basic keys to a much fuller and clear audio. Invetsing to this will give you a more professional audio in your video. If your space has too much echo, you should consider getting one for yourself.

Can acoustic foams solve my audio problems? Yes! You ought to take into account the thickness of the foam and the amount of coverage in your area while determining the acoustic foam specifications. In your bed, the amount of coverage depends on the use of your space. Only note that noise will be absorbed by smooth and fuzzy materials like acoustic foams. flat surfaces will make the sound bounce from one place to another. You have to work out the right way for you to add something to the space that can capture sound rather than reflect it if you have too much echo and reverb.

What's the difference between impact and airborne noise? 🔊

1. Airborne Noise

  • This travels through the air, like conversations, TV sounds, or barking dogs. When sound waves hit a building, they cause it to vibrate, transmitting through the structure.

2. Impact Noise

  • This results from physical impacts on buildings, such as footsteps, slamming doors, or moving furniture. Impact noise can be harder to isolate, as these vibrations are stronger and travel further through dense materials.

What are decibels? 📏

Decibels are measured logarithmically (not as a percentage) . This means that every increase of 10dB on the scale is a tenfold increase in sound pressure level (SPL) . Near silence is 0dB 🤫, while a sound at 10dB is ten times louder!

  • 30-40 dB = Soft music, whisper 🎶
  • 60-80 dB = Office noise, traffic 🚗
  • 85-100 dB (HARMFUL) = Subway, shouted convo, chainsaw ⚠️
  • 100-140 dB (DANGEROUS) = Chainsaw, loud concert, racing, shooting range 🚨
