Acoustical Control Design and Detailing Information

This document provides information on acoustic control design and detailing for soundproofing offices and conference rooms. It discusses various acoustic materials like acoustical panels, acoustic ceiling tiles, and sound barriers that can be installed in walls, ceilings, and floors to reduce reverberation and block sound transmission. The document also provides tips on how to make a home studio sound better with a low budget, such as using rigid fiberglass acoustic panels covered in fabric and mounting them in corners and evenly spaced around the room.

Acoustical Control Design and Detailing


Information
Give one example of designed and detailed information for acoustic installation

Soundproofing and Noise Control in Offices and Conference Rooms

 Acoustical panels – these panels which come in thousands of sizes and shapes and colors.
Reduce reverberation and echo where they installed by absorbing most of the sound waves that
hit them. This keeps sound waves from bouncing around the room which makes easier to make
sense of speakers, telephones and normal conversations.
 Acoustic Ceiling Tile – these tiles can be dropped down, glue one, or cloud mounted. Ceiling tiles
like acoustic wall panels are available in foam, fabric wrapped, metal and wooden. When it
comes to privacy, a very way to block sound from entering or escaping a room is with acoustic
doors and door seals. Simply sealing the small spaces around a door will block an impressive
amount of sound because of what we call 1% rule. This rule states that a 1% opening will allow
up to 50% of the sound to escape. This happens because the sound waves behave differently
than airflow.
 Sound barriers – they block sound through sheer mass and can be installed in walls, ceilings, or
floors and resilient isolation clips which block sounds by creating space between wall
components such as studs and dry wall.

How to make home studio sound amazing with low budget

 Prime acoustic panels – a rigid fiberglass absorption panel with covered with breathable acoustic
cloth and those as a prefab or pre-made solution are great highly recommend.
 Start out by brushing, rolling or spraying the edge hardening the resin around the perimeter and
don’t be shy on the corners allow it to dry for 24 hours.
 Next, lay out your fabric. Mark it at 3 feet to allow wrapping on the back and you want to have 6
inches of fabric overhang around the entire panel. Center the panel on fabric and spray glue on
the long side first while carefully pulling the fabric up and over to the back and smoothen the
edges so it’s a nice corner.
 Carefully flip the panel over while keeping the fabric tight and spray glue only the side edge so
you can tighten the front of the panel and have no ripples. Always carefully smoothen the
corners not pulling too hard or too light so you have a nice squared edge and no ripples then
you can flip the panel back over and finish gluing the rest of the 4 inches of fabric to the back of
the panel.

 Now for the corners, cut out a square edge as shown to get ready for the fold. Do a dry practice
run of the corner. Fold until you get it right then spray glue inside the corner. Lightly hold the
outside corner with your thumb and at the end of the fabric, lightly pre-fold it down as shown
and wrap the entire fabric up and over the back of the panel then glue. Rinse and repeat for all
of the corners and that’s it.
 On to mounting, I recommend you corner mount one or a couple panels stacked vertically as
this will significantly help battle low frequently build up in small room. Since we are covering
about 20% of the entire room surface, I decided evenly space the panels in the room both
vertically and horizontally. Start by mounting the corner panels then measure the distance
between the m and calculate how many panels you could fit equally spaced without too much
pr too little of a gap. Using a laser level, measure and mark the two outside edges of each panel
along the space that you’ve calculated. Then mark 6 inches inside the panel from each outside
edge where you want to place impaler clips.
