Will isolated sheets of fiberboard help reduce sound?
The sound leakage from my basement is okay in terms of not disturbing
neighbors "too much," but I'd still like to reduce it further so that I can record later into the evening. Most of the sound seems to escape from window locations. I'm talking mainly about bass drum and toms, but also my guitar amp. I know you need mass to reduce sound. If I cover the windows and interior walls with, say, 8'x4', 1" sheets of high density fiberboard (compressed sawdust), will I get any appreciable reduction of sound through the windows/walls? There will be gaps above the boards (10 ft. ceiling) and the entirety of each wall will not be covered. Perhaps 70% of the walls can be covered with the fiberboard sheets. Would there be a better choice than the fiberboard? Heavy fiberglass sheets, perhaps? Thanks! |
