DIY Sound Absorbin’ Acoustic Panels

Show Me Your Setup

Dan shows Josh the sound absorber he made from mostly scrap materials: an old, used 2x4, some thin wood, some screws, many staples, and Owens Corning Thermafiber Fire & Sound Guard Plus Mineral Wool Insulation.

Episode DescriptionSound can really pile up in our close quarters living spaces. This is especially true for open concept dwellings. How can noise be mitigated so everyone can live in relative peace and quiet without adding walls and doors? Sound absorbers.

But aren’t they costly and perhaps not exactly the look you want for your personal space?

Maybe those available on the commercial market are, but if you’re at all handy you can likely make them yourself for a fraction of the cost and exactly to size and to your personal aesthetic.

In today’s episode, our 15th, we’ll show you how Dan made one from mostly scrap materials.
