      Having glue on the walls will ruin the paint on the other hand All you need is a little filler to get rid of the drill holes.

      No it won't. I have worked construction for years doing this. Small Holes fill with putty and go away after you paint. The texture hides the small putty hole.
      If you damage a large chunk of texture, you WILL have to retexture your wall, and that texture will never match the rest of the wall of a novice does it, so you need to hire out.
      The cost to repair holes is ten bucks for spakel or mud"putty" and paint
      The cost to repair large chunks of texture missing, probably around 400 bucks and paint, though they will probably paint it pretty cheap since usually they do both.
      Take my advice, the way he does it in the video is probably the best non permanent way to do this. It's a pretty solid idea.
      But the way the Internet works, nobody will Believe me. Oh well

      @@catner70This requires a lot more work. Cheapest, easiest option is sound proofing blankets, but those are heavy and need to cover 100% of the wall you are wanting to block sound from. Better than that would be a second layer of drywall with green glue applied in between, which would be a significant improvement. Keep in mind, if the room you want to treat has windows, those will be the weakest link, and your only real option is completely covering them with acoustic blankets or replacing them with good triple pane acoustic windows.

      @Zero2Random Před 2 měsíci +7

      @@catner70 Amazon has them, as well as Trademark Soundproofing. The thing to keep in mind, is when I said 100% coverage, that didn't mean that it would sound proof your room 100%. What that meant was to see any meaningful difference, you need to cover 100% of the wall that you want to reduce sound transmission.
      Think of it this way. If you have a window open, and a lawnmower running right outside the window, its loud. If you completely shut the window, it gets noticeably quieter. But if you just barely crack the window, almost all of the sound is back. That is how sound transmission works. If you allow any gaps in treatment, it will be almost like having no treatment.

    Recording sound in a corner was a bad idea to begin with. The walls will bounce the sound off quicker compared to an open space or just centre of a wall. But glad to know the foam helped and the office actually looks pretty good in the end.

      Depends if you face the corner, or not. If you stay in the corder, and the mic faces the, then not a bad idea, as the sound that comes in directly to the mic will be absorbed before it enters the mic

    Sound proofing? No. You need to build another wall that insulated with the outside wall to do barely some sound proofing.
    Sound absorbing? Barely. But you need thicker panel for dampening the sound.

      Bruh, these little foam things are useless for low frequency sounds (bass). At best, they absorb highs and maybe high mids. They will not help you. I suggest moving or complaining. Way to help is building another new wall on top of your existing one with lots of mass.. or you can do it the studio way and have 3-4 feet of insulation covered by fabic :) low frequency is very difficult to isolate
