wood wool board for absorption..

[subabu2002]

hi friends,

after reading sound absorption articles , due to budget and safety reasons i decided to buy wood wool board for my stereo listening cum bed room.

before buying these boards , i would like clear some doubts..

some people recommended glass wool for better absorption,but i handled a sample and simply hate glass wool for skin irritation and itching.. long itching..

so i would decide to buy wood wool board covered with thick cloth material and hand it in reflection points and wall...

my plan is ,wood wool board with 25mm thickness and thin loop pile cloth covering.. no other products added..

does this material is enough for mid and high frequency absoptions?

or should i need to add some materials for extra absorptions? definetly not interesting in glass wool.. but some people recommend synth wool for alternative.. any ideas?

does 25mm thickness is enough for high and mid range frequencies?

for bass traps , i will go with seperate traps for corner placements..

suggestions welcome

is what I was looking at.

What you might be searching for is something like this Acoustic Panels - Acoustic Wall Panels and Acoustic Insulation Panels

I could not find specifications so on the theory that it might be similar to
Tectum Wall and Ceiling Panels - AcoustiGuard
This one says Reduces noise - NRC up to 1.00

rockwool claims 1.05. What is the cost difference ? I have not got around to the getting quotes stage and am still watching ethan winer videos and the like. What I think I know so far absorbtion over diffusion in small rooms. 30 - 40% of the area should do. An inch of air space behind absorbers further increases efficiency.

Ofc I am also trying to get the wife to be at least vaguely supportive of the idea that flutter echoes are terrible and hopefully even to concede that the glass fronted cabinets she has are horrendous audio wise. I have a chance, you think

Curious. Is there an advantage on starting a new thread for every post. Would be useful to have in one thread I'd guess, and therefore am cross posting on what to me is your original thread.

And in finishing let me leave you with a link Do-it-Yourself Bass Traps By Ethan Winer | Audio Undone and a question ? could you just get rid of the lofts, knock them off - to mind you would get rid of a lot of surface area that would need treatment (disclaimer IANAAE)

ciao
