Acoustic Foam for Soundproofing or Sound Absorbing

When choosing the right foam for your needs, the design of the foam matters a great deal. Foam for sound attenuation works by absorbing vibrations and echoes. Because of this, the shape will affect the way that sound waves are received. We offer several different designs to meet a range of needs with ease and affordability.

Wedge

The wedge design offers a professional appearance while supplying superior performance for your sound needs. With raised wedges available in various widths, this option for sound dampening foam is easy to install and can offer a range of results. The width of the wedge will determine how well the foam will absorb and control sound. Larger widths will offer more soundproofing for your application.

Pyramid

Operating under the same principle of sound absorption and reflection off the raised foam of a wedge design, pyramid acoustic panels offer reliable soundproofing and a different sound than acoustic wedge panels. Since there are more “valleys” in this design, the pyramid panels will offer superior diffusion. Again, the pyramids are offered in several widths. The larger pyramids offer more soundproofing than the smaller cuts.

Eggcrate

Eggcrate is an excellent solution for anyone looking for a budget friendly foam option that will not compromise performance. Often used with the added solution of acoustical cloth, eggcrate is an acoustic foam available in varying sizes and features a rounded shape to absorb sound evenly from all sides. This is one of the most affordable options for soundproofing foam.

Wave

With its textured design, wave foam is an attractive way to improve the acoustics of a space while getting sound dampening benefits. Compression cut for added accuracy and precision, this option for acoustic panels is easy to install with its interlocking design. This makes them ideal for covering large spaces with ease.

Grid

The natural design of this option is slightly tilted to help achieve improved acoustics and sound absorption. Offered as a set, this type of soundproofing foam helps to control bouncing sound waves for improved sound quality. With the more modern appeal of its appearance, this is a popular choice for studios and businesses seeking a polished vibe.

Spade

Without compromising its function, the Spade design offers a rippled appearance for a stylish solution. This option for soundproof foam is ideal for various applications. Whether in a home media room or a professional recording studio, spade foam offers high-quality echo absorption. Sold in sets of 2 interlocking panels, this option is great for larger spaces.

Sound Barriers

Foam used for sound barriers is available in both rolls and sheets to meet your needs. Made from reliable materials such as neoprene or polyethylene, barriers feature a smooth appearance and offer consistent sound absorbing and reduction of sound waves. For a clean and attractive solution, this is the perfect option.

Soundproofing Foam Blocks and Absorbers

Sound frequencies can be tricky to completely absorb or block. With the use of absorbers, you can achieve a better result in rooms both small and large when dealing with low frequencies. Since lower frequencies tend to be longer and they carry further, the use of absorbers is a great way to combat this concern. Offered in shapes such as rectangle, cube, and male/female sets, these foam pieces are ideal for placement in the corners of rooms to absorb sounds.

Ceiling Tiles

Part of creating the best sound space possible is by looking at the area as a whole. While many people will cover the walls with sound dampening foam, the ceiling is sometimes forgotten. This crucial area can be utilized to help improve function with our ceiling tiles. Available in both smooth and textured patterns, this type of foam can add extra sound dampening properties to any space.

Does foam help soundproof?

Foam is a great solution for sound treatments! It is designed to reduce noise by absorbing sound waves. Even though all foams listed above will help, thicker sound absorbing foam tends to dampen noise better than thinner options.

What is the best material for soundproofing?

Soundproofing foam is the best material for sound treatments. In rooms where there is a lot of noise or too much echo, the acoustic foam will help control the sound and bring it down to a reasonable level. When looking for quality sound treatments, design is also important. Wedge, pyramid, and eggcrate foams tend to be more effective than foam with a flat surface.

How much does soundproof foam cost?

The pricing on foam for sound treatments can vary. Size, thickness, and design can all have an effect on cost. Our acoustical foam starts at a budget-friendly cost, and increases in cost based on the designs and sizes that you choose for your project.

How do you soundproof a wall cheaply?

Soundproofing a wall with foam is a great way to get the job done on a budget. The use of sound barrier sheets, like Neoprene, is affordable and easy to implement in any location. These sheets are the most effective way to help prevent sound from going through a wall.

Does soundproofing work for noisy neighbors?

Noisy neighbors can be a nuisance when you are looking for some peace and quiet. Whether the sound is coming from next door or from up above, applying soundproofing foam or sound barriers to the walls and ceiling will help keep the racket out. This will also help keep the noises inside if you are concerned that you are the loud neighbor. Typically, denser materials will dampen sound better.

How do I soundproof a room for cheap?

There is a range of selections to soundproof a room on a budget. Foam panels for attenuation, sound barrier sheets, and corner blocks are all cost-effective ways to complete a project. Keep in mind that the best product for you will depend on the goal you are trying to achieve.

Can you soundproof a garage?

Soundproofing a garage is no sweat! Thicker foam can be used for the walls and ceiling to prevent echo. For the garage door, windows, or other doors, sound barriers will help reduce the amount of sound escaping. To allow your garage door to continue opening and closing without issue, foam can also be custom cut to your specifics.

How can I soundproof my bedroom?

The first step to soundproofing a bedroom is knowing your final goal. If your goal is to block sound disturbances from coming or going completely, dense sound barriers will be your best option. If your goal is to stop a sound from reverberating off the walls, acoustic foam will do the trick.

How do you soundproof a ceiling?

To soundproof a ceiling, you will first need to measure and figure out the amount of foam material needed. The next step is to pick the thickness and design that will make the most sense for your application.

When installing the foam panels, the easiest way to adhere the product to the ceiling surface is with spray adhesive. You could also staple or nail the panels, but keep in mind that those will be going directly into your ceiling, and could damage the foam material.

How can I soundproof a room without damaging walls?

The most common method to apply acoustic foam is by using a spray adhesive. This, however, is a fairly permanent solution, and it may tear the paint off the walls if you decide to remove the panels later. To avoid this issue, it is common practice to apply the panels to wood or cardboard, and anchor those to the wall. If you decide to remove those later, you will only have a few screw holes to fill.

How do I soundproof a room?

There are a number of possibilities when deciding to soundproof a room. A few of them include:

• Acoustic Foam Panels: These are available in a range of sizes, thicknesses, and surface designs. They can be placed on walls and ceilings to help absorb sound. To maximize the effectiveness of your sound treatment, opt for thicker foam or designs such as wedge, pyramid or eggcrate.
• Sound Barriers: These are usually denser than acoustic foam panels, and they can be used when sound deadening is desired. They can also be used with other solutions on this list as an extra measure. Sound barriers are ideal for walls and ceilings.
• Corner Blocks and Bass Absorbers: These are great to add to the corners of a room where soundproofing can prove more difficult. They are specially designed to help prevent the buildup of any lower bass reverberations in a room.

Can you soundproof existing walls?

The simplest solution for soundproofing an existing wall is to add foam. You can add sound dampening panels, sound barrier sheets, or both to reduce as much noise and echo as possible.

Is there a difference between soundproofing and sound absorption?

There is actually quite a big difference between soundproofing and sound absorption. Soundproofing aims to prevent noise from leaving or coming into a room as much as possible. On the other hand, sound absorption is applying acoustic foam to absorb sound waves and prevent unwanted noise from bouncing around the room.
