Home-Made Acoustical Panels

[Bero Records]

Hey guys.. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make acoustical panels for sound absorption. My budget isn't too big, so Auralex products are a little too expensive. I've quickly learned that styrofoam isn't a good idea.. If anyone has any suggestions, instructions, or pictures to share, please do!!

Thanks.

The correct material is rigid fiberglass. Much more here:

Old carpet stuck onto cardboard to make panels worked for me.

Could have used egg cartons for the same effect,

What did that do?

I'm guessing it:

#1. Looked awful and

#2. Made the room sound muddy.
