Hello,
Generally blankets and sleeping bags will only help on higher frequencies. From your description, I would suggest that you strongly consider some proper absorbers that will go lower into the frequency areas that you are having the actual troubles with.
I am a firm believer in broadband absorption. Some of these treatments can be expensive if purchased ready made, but are often easy and affordable built as a home project. Ridgid fiberglass of the Owens Corning 703 variety can do wonders in the proper areas and in the right thicknesses.
Follow Ups:
blankets etc... I certainly did not have in mind that sleeping bags on the wall would be a permanent solution. I'm just experimenting to try to determin if this room is treatable. Its a fairly small room and 360 degrees of plywood. I'm hesitant to invest much money before I know what I have to work with and if its even worth it.
I hadn't considered the broadband aspect of the materials I chose. Thats a great revectoring, thanks! I can't wait to get home and look at it again from that perspective. Why do we have to have jobs!?!? There is way too much tinkering to be done!
Are there any ready made FAQs out there or resources that you can suggest that I can study. I see my shotgun approach ending with multiple attempts and material purchases.
Thanks again for your help!
Nate
Its not how many people you shoot ... its who you shoot
You can find the raw materials reasonably at places such as this: http://www.sensiblesoundsolutions.com/There is a whole wealth of material here on the Real Traps site:
http://realtraps.com/articles.htmand this one: http://www.squidoo.com/diy_acoustics/
They are a good start and will help you set-up a game plan of what you may need and where. The actual construction of these panels is very easy.
I also suggest jumping into an acoustics forum where members can easily help you with all your questions. Personally, I have been involved with this one here on Audio Circle: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?board=73.0
It looks like I got my work cut out for me.
Thanks,
Nate
