natural fibers

I have also noticed that natural fibre felts (wool or cotton) work best. They absorb sound better and don't reflect sound as much (or as badly) as synthetics. Ordinary polyester felt (made of tiny plastic fibers) does not sound as good. By extension, carpets made of natural fibers sound much better than acrylic carpets (which have a tendency not only to absorb and dry out the mid-range but also reflect a confused treble pattern).
