The problem is double sided doesn't want to stick properly on foam side. It sticks well on wall side. So when the foam fall off, double sided tape remains on the wall

ycs, nice room

Respect, respect, respect. Can you still hear any echo after the acoustic treatment?

How you hang the trap at the middle ceiling corner and ceiling?

I used to have a bright room but found too much light reflection. Now, painted with darker color. Got more cinema feeling You may want to try it.

if that's the case.....maybe should glue the foam to a piece of cardboard....or just small pieces of cardboard and use the dbl sided tape btwn the cardboard and the wall

ACTUALLY..at the very beginning...i duno why ur both side wall

the tiles remained there for wat purpose???

good idea bro so no issue with hm even we use gam cap gajah

I just notice that. Kind of weird isn't it to have tiles on the wall. Usually only toilet has that. U sure no toilet bowl behind the couch?

No more echo after treatment. The foam is stapled to plaster ceiling; need to use carpentry stapler which can be bought from hardware shop.

For ceiling and sidewall, need to drill a hook on wall and small L-shape support at the bottom of the trap. It's something like hanging a picture but you push up against the ceiling with support at the base.

My next project will be to build more false traps for the walls to hide the tiles so its all black throughout and paint the remainder walls darker. (previously kitchen )

Also, planning to build a simple diffusor at the back wall and maybe some floor lights.

aah now it make sense

bro mind to share why type of foam u use and where u got it thanks.

Thanks for the sharing.

Now, must find those foam and stick on the ceiling. I wish the foam has white in color to match with my ceiling. Otherwise very odd la

I saw the big sub inside the cabinet, tadak shake hah?

This 3M Command Strips are very interesting..
Will try to search for it..

More and more people doing acoustic treatment now.

its available in hardware stores....the 1st time i saw it, it was from the little hardware store in Centerpoint Bdr Utama

ycs,

nice room you have and kudos for your acoustic efforts. So your panels are rockwool wrapped in black fabric right?

The panels were made by making a wooden frame ( 2' x 4' x 2" and 1' x 4' x 4") into which the rockwool was placed and first wrapped with a thin PU foam so that the rockwool cannot escape since its rather itchy. Then its finished off with a black acoustically transparent cloth so that not too much sound is reflected.

I used 40kg/m3 rockwool in the 2' x 4' x 2" panels on the sidewalls and 60 kg/m3 rockwool in the 1' x 4' x 4" panels in the corners as bass traps.

That Triangular thing is very attractive..

gocitygo, nice work there. How thick is your triangle trap?

I like the warm wall colour - mind sharing what's the name of it?

The thickness of the traps is 2".

About the wall color, it's a Nippon paint (Poppy color, code:356)
