USE FABRIC COVERED WALLS FOR SOUND CONTROL
Fabric has long been known for it's sound absorption qualities. Options include curtains/drapes, fixed fiberglass panels or framing to hold cloth fabric panels. Advantages/Disadvantages:
Clearly superior, the framed wall covering system uses a frame of PVC or metal track for which to stretch over a fabric covering . This frame is fitted to the wall using mitered corner joints (supplied) to make a pleasing finished installation assembly for the fabric, which is stretched over the frame. An absorbent material is usually placed on the wall under the fabric covering for added sound control. (You've probably seen such installations in theatres and music halls). Sound barrier (MLV) may be added to the wall before framing is added to add sound blocking qualities to the wall as well. Your choice of fabrics allow an unlimited variety of materials and design only limited by your imagination. Most fabrics come in rolls 60" wide and unlimited lengths. The fabric can easily be changed due to the unique tuckable edge design and you can use any supplier of fabric (buy fire-retardant) to keep costs low. The fabric can even have a design or office logo limited only by your imagination. No adhesives, magnetics or exotic fasteners are used to attach the track to your room walls. You may want to enhance your wall installation with absorbency material like foam and/or sound barrier material such as Mass Loaded Vinyl. (MLV). Don't want to do-it-yourself?
