Sound ABsorption

[ajlacombe]

I am in the process of getting ready for the delivery of a Foresight Sports Sim-in-a-box - due to arrive in early April

It is going in my bedroom. The room has a 16' ceiling in the middle and is connected to the bathroom - overall size is about 40' x 14.5' The flooring is tile and hardwood, then everything else is drywall. The floor of the side with the simulator will mostly be a turf and a king sized bed

I am going to start with some acoustical tiles over pegboard backing and a wood frame - 48 square feet. I will wait until it gets here to see how it sounds.

What have others done to address noise levels in a reflective room, Forgot to mention that the wall opposite of the acoustic tiles has an 8' x 12' mural of Pebble Beach #7 so there will be no tiles on that side

Thanks,

Andy

Hard surfaces will reflect sound. Area rugs, carpet, tufted furniture in the room can help. Also, putting extra padding where the ball drops after impact can minimize the thud the ball makes upon dropping to the floor. Drivers make a particular sound that will be harder to attenuate, but that’s no the shot you’re hitting the most often during play.

If you are handy, this guy provides a good diy guide on making sound absorption panels that won’t break the bank.

Damn - that was cool. I am going to use the French Cleat to hang my foam panels on the peg board frames. I would love to go after the ceiling with boxes like he made, but I will wait to see if I can get anything else done without going that route to start.

I do have a bunch of space above my closet and shower area where I can put stuff that would not bee seen or it could be seen if I made it bigger. Thanks for that video, I will see what I can implement without changing the wall structure too much - if I move, I do not want to be having to pull things off the drywall and repairing the holes. But, I would make boxes like his that are free standing and move them around in the room to do the job.

Thanks again!
