I don't typically frequent the Tweaker's Asylum, but thought I'd see what's here, and so I just came across this thread from 2016. TWENTY-SIXTEEN. Is this a joke? Egg cartons? Seriously?!

Can somebody please post the acoustical characteristics of egg cartons mounted on walls? 'Cause I'm sure some budding garage band or hifi enthusiast from the 1960s or 70s will be interested. Oh, wait... This isn't 1970 anymore!

After 8 jillion articles in Audio, Stereo Review, TAS and Stereophile, and numerous books written on the topic of acoustical characteristics of various materials and mounting methods, and innumerable measurements done by ASTM, manufacturers and others over the past seven decades, there actually are people who still ask about egg cartons as an acoustical treatment?

Further, the OP didn't specify if he was asking about the old style cardboard pulp cartons or the newer foam type - I'd guess there is a difference! LOL

Seriously?
