By using the same PET plastic which is found in water or soda bottles, we are helping to reduce waste while creating a durable product that will last. Felt Right offers felt tiles that are crafted expertly from recycled PET plastic which creates a thin, durable, and light felt board. The first major advantage of Felt Right is the cost. Although the cost associated with soundproofing can vary, the average cost for a small room can easily add up to thousands of dollars. Soundproofing often requires expensive and unattractive materials that need to be professionally installed.

Aside from professional recording studios and other buildings where professional-level sound manipulation is necessary, it is usually impractical to spend the money in your home or small business to try and soundproof a room. By the simple combination of mesh, foam, and plastic materials, sound can be muted or dampened which adds a level of control to how we use our environments. Most people are not looking for this level of soundproofing, but it is spectacular to know what is possible in the realms of removing sound from a room. No one has lasted more than 45 minutes in the anechoic chamber and it has been described as so quiet it’s possible to hear your blood flow through your body. It’s called the ‘anechoic chamber’ and this room is so sound-absorbent that 99.99 percent of all sound is absorbed. At Orfield Laboratories located is South Minneapolis USA, there is a room that has been soundproofed so well that it has been labeled the world’s quietest place and holds the Guinness World Record for this achievement. In these kinds of rooms, it is near impossible to hear anything coming within or coming from without the soundproofed walls. A soundproofed room is designed to block noise from entering or from leaving. Soundproofing requires specific materials in larger quantities to achieve the desired result. Sound dampening works differently than soundproofing.

Often, reducing the amount of echo and reverberating sound can have a large impact on the overall atmosphere of the room which creates a better experience for those spending time there. Libraries, auditoriums, and many gyms, all use sound dampening to improve the experience of their patrons. Theaters are not the only place where this practice is common.

It’s almost certain everyone who has been to a movie has had a bad experience where they hear the sound of a movie they aren’t watching which ruins the experience you were meant to have.

The sole purpose of this design is to keep the sound within the specific theater room to prevent as much sound as possible from traveling to the next theater over. You may have noticed that in most theaters, the walls are either lined with soft felt-like material or are covered in waves and bumps. Movie theaters are a good example of this.

There are many places that use sound dampening as part of the initial structure and are so commonplace that they may go unnoticed or leave you wondering what their purpose is. Panels made from these types of materials trap sound and can ultimately reduce the overall noise and ambiance of any given room. Materials such as foam or plastic can work to dissipate vibrational energy caused by sound. When sound waves come into contact with a material that allows them to penetrate, they can become trapped which leads to muting and dampening. Sound is a wave that travels through the air and echos when reflected from solid objects. Sound dampening is easy to understand when you apply a little basic science to how sound travels through the air.
