Anyone have any thoughts or experience in managing to quiet the impact sound when a ball hits the screen apart from sound absorbing wall or ceiling panels? I'm particularly curious on whether there are different screen options or maybe if putting anything behind the screen might help in absorbing the sound at all. Have a Foresight Sim in a Box set up in my barebones non-insulated garage so options are limited outside of sinking a ton of money into a general garage upgrade which I'm not going to do at the moment. Thought I would see if there might be lower cost (and understanbably less effective) solutions that might be more cosmetic in nature and still help take the edge off a bit. Thanks!

you can put a pad behind the screen
the poly spacer screens are quieter as well

Our SQ Screens stand for Super Quiet and could potentially help with impact noise reduction.

SQ screen from Par2Pro extremely quiet and excellent image. More noise from club impact than ball hitting the sqComment

I have an 801 3-layer screen and I still wear earplugs... You're going to get as lot of 'impact sound' especially from driver, regardless of your screen. I get very little sound from my impact screen. Cheap earplugs work just fine and solve the problem - protect your hearing
Here are 2 decent ones:

do foam acoustic pads on the ceiling and adjacent walls help at all with sound?Comment

Tocino - Not much. They are more for wall protection... they do kind of muffle the sound, and deaden it a little, but from what I can tell - the crack of driver hitting the ball is in the wrong sound frequency to be stopped - better to use ear plugs, as I said in my post above. -
Yes, foam acoustic pads on the ceilings and walls will help with sound.
We offer premium sound-absorbing and high-impact panels that will help with sound and stop the speed of a ball on impact.

What's the db reduction exactly ONNiT Systems ? Would be nice to compare. Thanks.

It will help with the sound quality you hear but if your trying to prevent others from hearing then it’s not going to help much.
Think of sound like water. Mass is the most effective tool for sound proofing. If you spray a water hose directly into a sponge it slows the water down but the water still gets through. It you spray it at a concrete wall it bounces back. The best soundproofing is creating a room within a room with air gapping between rooms and using as dense materials as possible.Comment

Spray foam insulation does a pretty good job. My kids' room is directly above the garage and you can't even hear the snowblower idling below let alone the impact noises, though the fire and emissions building code may also contribute to that - double layered 5/8" board with non overlapping seams and 16" of open air gap above ceiling joists before the floor joists begin. -
Yeah, all that mass and the air gap definitely help. My issue is the garage door points straight to my neighbor. I gave up on soundproofing after looking into the cost and labor involved. Way cheaper to let your neighbors know a specific time and no late-night sessions.
