Sorry to bug you...can you give an rough idea of how much it would cost to buy 12 panels 50mm thick about 120cmx60cm roughly? Of the Acousti Absorb 3The acoustasorb 3 is so dense you can’t roll it up, if you stand it up against the wall it will stay there. Yes I have used it throughout my studio builds as sound proofing, building bass traps and making gobos.
The fluffy stuff you have is normal home thermal insulation. Acoustasorb products is made for acoustic treatment.

TAE, be careful with your definitions. Plastics, for the most part are organic. Organic compounds are made up of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, etc. Just because it's "organic" doesn't mean it's healthy for you.
Very true and there are strong links to some plastics and cancers. Other chemicals in tyres for example which are also made of kinds of plastic, are known to cause organ problems.Organic gets used improperly often. Organic is anything derived from and animal, plant, or single-celled life form. Carbon is what most earthly living organism are based upon.
Of course you are right about just because it's organic it's not okay to ingest or breathe ..Death cap mushroom...c-ya
I grew up in construction...set tile for 20 years and then sold natural and man made stone for the last 20+. I have written MSD sheets for the products we sold.
Silicosis is the biggy Silica dust once it enters your lungs is going to stay there forever....the body can not make it dissolve. as it builds up ...it gets worse we all have a bit of it in our lungs...Dumbasses like myself who tore out old tubs and showers without a mask, mixed thinset and grout without a mask have more.
Marble dust no big problem it's made up of calcium carbonate and it dissolves over time...when you use the word Plastic...that's a broad brush stroke... The dust of most plastics once breathed into your lungs are going nowhere and are there forever. The long term effects are not as well documented as silica but my money is on it is just as bad for you as silica cause it isn't going away and will build up if you keep breathing it...can't be good.
That'll leave a markVery true and there are strong links to some plastics and cancers. Other chemicals in tyres for example which are also made of kinds of plastic, are known to cause organ problems.
But then as I said at the beginning.............Watch out for that bus!!!!
That's so very true. One of the first of my classmates to die was a doctor. Young, very sharp, personable. He was working at a suburban medical clinic.But then as I said at the beginning.............Watch out for that bus!!!!
Shot in the office.That's so very true. One of the first of my classmates to die was a doctor. Young, very sharp, personable. He was working at a suburban medical clinic.
The one patient that didn't like his diagnosis and treatment shot him right there in the office.
Oh my, don't let WWLaidback see this or it could turn into another worthless political nerf footbal. ... lol!That's so very true. One of the first of my classmates to die was a doctor. Young, very sharp, personable. He was working at a suburban medical clinic.

South East QLD.Been a while since I bought it, where are you located?
If you are trying to 'stop' sound you have a good point. But lining the hard surfaces even with thin whatever can help the reflected internal sound.The problem with the sponge analogy is that a sponge will saturate because the water doesn't change. WIth sound absorption, the sound energy is actually converted to heat. Unless you are putting kilowatts of sound energy out, it's not going to "saturate" to the point that you can even detect the increase in temperature.
Instead think of it more in terms of light. Things will absorb specific wavelengths of light, and reflect others. Those absorbed are converted to heat. A black curtain will absorb the majority of the light. A medium grey will also absorb the same wavelengths, just at a lower efficiency. White will reflect all wavelengths back. A red curtain absorbs the light but reflects back red. Likewise, certain materials are going to absorb different sound frequencies, based on density, rigidity, and thickness. The glass that is used to make OC703 would probably make a nice reflective window if cast into a smooth, very rigid plate.
The biggest problem for most people is that measuring sound is not as easily done and interpreted as viewing a room and looking at the light. It's easy to see that the corner is darker, or seeing a light reflecting in a mirror or off a window. Hearing bass bloom in the corner is the same as getting the reflection of a lamp in a mirror.
Putting up a thin layer of low density fiberglass for sound control is about as effective as putting up sheer curtains to keep the sunlight out of your room. Putting up a wall with mass loaded vinyl and rockwool panels is like adding thick blackout curtains.
