TO SOUND PROOF FOR BAND PRACTICE - GO WITH A PRO

Like the United States Tax Code, soundproofing band practice rooms can be mind boggling because the companies soundproofing band practice rooms are almost too numerous to count.   Each one claims to soundproof your band practice room by reducing the amount of noise other people hear but while they all sell products for soundproofing, they do NOT all hold your hand through the very complicated process.  Pick a professional who:

  • Explains your options

  • Sticks to your budget

  • Competently assesses your needs

  • Sells you the best product, not just the most expensive

  • Has well established expertise

  • Makes sure you understand the three frequencies which are essential considerations when soundproofing your band practice room…

                                            …High – cymbals, upper notes on a keyboard, flute
                                            …Middle – guitar, alto sax
                                            …Low – bass guitar, lower notes on a keyboard, drums

**Low frequencies are the hardest to block out when soundproofing band practice rooms.  Every room is different and every band is different so it’s important to consult a competent, trusted professional who will help establish the best solution for you.

WHAT MAKES A ROOM SOUNDPROOF FOR BAND PRACTICE?

1. SPACE - Soundproofing band practice rooms with distance.  Noise loses volume as it travels so the farther away people are from the loud instruments, the less noise they will hear and the more sound proof for band practice the room will be.  
2. MASS - Soundproofing band practice rooms with heavy, thick barriers like bricks, stone, stucco or sheetrock.  Mass stops noise before it can get out.
3. DAMPENING – Changing the noise vibrations.  Using dampening to sound proof for band practice actually alters the noise vibrations by sending them through acoustic curtains, panels, carpet, acoustical ceiling tiles or soundboard.  Low frequencies are notoriously hard to dampen but these products are very effective on the higher frequencies to sound proof for band practice. 

* Acoustic curtains and panels and other similar methods are more effective than ordinary bedding or moving blankets which will not soundproof your band practice room.

SOUND PROOFING QUESTIONS TO ASK

• Can I sound proof for band practice without spending a fortune?
• To sound proof for band practice, do I have to attach something permanent or can I use a removable solution such as an acoustic curtain?
• If something is expensive, does it block out more sound?
• Will just one product dampen both high and low frequency?
