any acoustic use for foam peanuts?

[shackrock]

so I got like boxes and boxes and boxes of those foam peanuts...you know, for packaging and sending stuff in the mail, etc. ha.

any use for those acoustically? haha. Can I make a bag full of them, and pop it in the corner? or is that just stupid and pointless. hahaha.

Nope just useless - styrofoam is worthless for either acoustics or isolation - makes great packing material though............

Perhaps you could use it for that.............

I have heard of folks gluing a layer of them to a backing sheet to form a diffuser. Unfortunately diffusers are usualy not what the average home studio needs.

I don't see them diffusing anything. Nothing like wasting space that could be used for something that works.
