Sound Proofing

[fivesixonesk8er]

Hello,
I am starting to create my studio and I was looking at different sound proofing foam. Im trying to find a good size and kind of foam, if anyone has had experience with Sound Proofing Foam. I am looking at 2-1/2" Eggcrate Foam; 100% Open Cell Polyurethane; Density - 2.0 lbs/cu ft. The Overall NRC of the foam is 0.84 . Any comments or suggestions about the foam?

You would want to check out the Studio Building and Supply forum. This has been done to death there. Do a search.

From what I have read, soundproofing is more something that you have to build while acoustical treatment is something you can do more with foam.

Foam is for acoustical treatment and does little for inhibiting sound transmission through walls.

You'll learn a lot and then you'll understand the questions better.

Hope this helps!
