One of the Best Ideas of SoundProofing is "SoundProof Curtains" it actually Block outside Noise coming from Windows. Check Here: livesoundproof.com/best-soundproof-curtains/

You can even make the process cheaper by creating rectangle ones so it skips the 3d printing part, and you can mount your favourite picture/paintings on it. Building the whole frame with glued wood also makes sense as wood is slightly softer than aluminium thus absorbing more sound, (but it can be heavier.) :) Another Idea is if you have a huge gigantic empty wall, you can make a large version of this, and turning it into a projector screen, ultimately turning your bedroom into a studio/gaming/home theater environment.

The A/B comparison at the end is very obvious and very surprising. I've made and use panels myself with rock wool and wood and know how important they really are when it comes to audio. I was skeptical about the foam-ish material that you used, but it CLEARLY worked very well. Amazing video. Thanks

I like your ideas. Couple of changes I'd add. 1: Once you know the size of the insulation you're going to put inside, adjust the size of the triangle so that you use the full width of the piece. This reduces the number of cuts you have to make and also reduces the trimmed pieces that get thrown away. 2: If you're going to 3D print the attachment ends, why not design an end that attaches the four pieces at each corner and also hold them the right distance between the front and back. then you would need only three per panel. You might even be able to design the so the aluminum angle with holes could snap in and not need screws.

You have learned sooooo much since the old towl panel video! Looks great, and sounds wayyyyy better! Also worth noting that echos are most notable with standing waves, and you live in a 3D space. Either hang some treatment from the ceiling, or put some carpeting with padding beneath to cut down on the top-to-bottom sound as well as the side to side. Also, putting them on adjacent walls instead of opposite walls (or a few on each wall) is also more effective than putting a bunch on 2 parallel walls.

Thanks for your videos, I wait for them patiently and enjoy them every single time.

As an audio engineer, definitely appreciate this. I watched some other video of yours and was wondering how good your audio quality is as compared to some other youtubers

Can I suggest using composite foam for the filling? It, as the name suggests, is a composite of different densities of foam. Because every density works better in a different bandwidth, a composite is the best all-round material for general purpose sound deadening. You may also consider using a shorter spacer on one end to create a slope. This way, alle the sound that is still reflected, is reflected at an angle, reducing the effect of standing waves. Furthermore if you mount the panel at a 1cm offset from the wall, you increase the surface-area of the deadning material and almost double the effect (or ofcourse use half the panels for the same effect).

That is another really neat and useful project. The difference, at the end, was quite incredible.

I wanted to be able to experiment easily for the space I was working in. So, I used bed sheets (clean and washed) to spray glue the foam "v" squares onto the sheets. Then I mounted the sheets with the attached foam squares on the walls around the space. I believe it helped quite a bit because they also have a little space between the foam and the walls to catch the sound passing through twice as several have mentioned here.

The restaurant would rather you _not_ stick around so they are in effect telling you to fuck off. That's what I do and of course never come back. The restaurants I do return to again and again and again have not only very good food, but it's possible to have a conversation. Don't turn up on the day expecting a table. You invariably need to book ahead. Some of them charge a great deal of money for this, but that's not universal.

They would work MUCH better mounted 1 to 2 inches from the wall and angles away from parallel to the wall in random patternt. The wall spacing add adsorption becaus the sound goes through twice, once in and again on the way out. The wall spacing would also lower the frequencies controlled by about a half octace or so. The randomized angles helps to scatter (diffuse )the reflections for a smoother reverb across the whole space.

Great DIY project! You are a most resourceful bloke sir! Small point of pedantry - You only need to say "one, two" when testing a mic: the "one" is the bass, the "two" is the treble.

Well thought out design and build. Well done sir.

Thank you for the inspiration! I tried to follow a made a few triangles. The worst thing was to get all the components from e-shop(s). I also decided to go for triangles with length of a=500 mm so I need to additionally cut ALU profiles. Also facing was kind of tricky for me, but the more I created the more I was skilled. Thank you again!

The aluminium triangles are very neat indeed, and all in all this is a great video. I would, however, suggest figuring out exactly what insulation material to use beforehand (personally I think house insulation is better than foam, but that's just me) and its exact size per sheet. Then making the triangles an exact fraction of that so that you can use 100% of the insulation without waste bits. Some DIY panel makers make their panels larger and rectangular - in exactly the size to fit a single insulation panel, because that's easier. Furthermore, 4 inches of thickness is required to really deal with bass frequencies, but the best way to deal with bass is something that wasn't touched on here - bass traps. Basically, take these triangles, lay them in the corner of the room with the top point into the corner, and stack them until they hit the ceiling. Obviously it would be a massive waste to do that many aluminium triangles, so a modified design that was 5 or more layers of insulation thick, and had the cover fabric on the "bottom", facing the room, would make sense. And of course, a final nitpick - an acoustic panel works better if there is an air gap between it and the wall. Putting it right up against the wall with spikes works, but designing some variation on the triangle with mounts a bit in from the edge so they could "float in space" an inch or two off the wall would be even better, and look even more interesting.

Does the effectiveness of these panels supersede the earlier “towel” version? Or are towels still the best materials to use? EDIT: kzread.info/dash/bejne/onV22LaQg9u1ldY.html

If you grab a microphone and do some simple measurements you'll notice that sponge (or rather foam) has little to no effect on most frequencies in the spectrum. Especially to annoying lower ones. Rockwool is leagues better and - more importantly - consistent across the whole spectrum. Plus - foam is a mould magnet ;)

He literally just showed us that it makes a difference. WTF?

Imagine combining those with some nanoleafs! 😍

Mmm yeah

Thanks for making this guide. We have made these and they work great in our studio. We did a bit of modification and installed some RGB LED's to help with the ambience haha :)

These are some of the nicest homemade ones I have seen I have been looking for a way to dampen sound in my room and those might work

Hi Matt, great project as always! May I ask you how this pannels compare to your previous amazing towel project? Which one would rather have done (disconsidering the asthetics) for a small studio? Look forward to hearing from you. Best regards

FYI: You're sacrificing significant performance by not mounting the panels off of the wall. The typical distance is roughly the thickness of the panel, so a 2" panel is mounted 2" off the wall. Also recommended is not to double up the fabric; tight-woven fabric reflects high frequencies anyway, which is why looser fabric (e.g. burlap) is commonly used. Two layers of bedsheet might not be helping you. And finally, the filler material is crucial; it is not generally recommended to use closed-cell foams or sponges; the fiberglass insulation (or similar) is much better, and specific densities in particular are recommended. Lots of info online about this.

Discovered this channel and I've turned old and useless items into much more useful ones! Thanks!

Excelente Gracias muchas gracias Perks, disculpa algo tarde me tocó ver este video, por fin con este link podre apoyar a todo tu ingenio, felicidades te sigo desde hace 6 años 2016.

Oh come on no analysis this time? I would really like to see the difference between the towels you made last time.

I think it would be neat to use riser screws to mount these a couple of centimeters off of the wall and embed a few RGB leds in the back of them for an optional "inverted nanoleaf" look.

Doing this would also increase their performance as the leftover sound which is not absorbed will reflect back from the wall into the back of the panels. This actually changes the range of affected frequencies by the panels.

Almost forgot I was subbed. Never clicked so fast. Another fantastic job, Matt!

Can definitely hear a difference. Your DIYs are sweet!

Hi love the vid but i kinda want to know what you think i best for absorbtion.. The sponge from this video er the towels from the other video?

Agree completely. Foam vs Towels vs Insulation in the same panel sizes would be a great video!

please compare the performance between ue first towel verion and this one. i built 3 of ure towel versions. i would love to see the difference between the 2 designs

Just as a question: How well did the towel version work for you? I would expect nothing groundbreaking considering the financial investment here is just a few dollars, but since I’ve just changed living space and these bare walls are a bit annoying, anything will due.

I'm still doing towels like you showed us in your DIY Acoustic Panels video. I like them and I ended up wrapping a nice sleek black cloth around them to finish them off.

Fantastic tutorial and production quality. Thank you!
