Thalita Milan, marketing specialist and HubSpot consultant, sent us her feedback on how satisfied she is with our products.

"I was looking for a solution to improve noise reduction, and fortunately, I found VocalBoothToGo. I purchased three door curtains, and I use two of them to cover the window facing a busy street. Thanks to these curtains, I can now comfortably record my online courses without worrying that my microphone will pick up noise from the street. The VocalBoothToGo team was very helpful and accommodating before the purchase, and I highly recommend their products."

Aesthetic Appearance

ACOUSTIC CURTAINS are great because when you're not recording, you can simply pull them aside, and the room will look like a regular room. However, when you need to record, just pull the curtains closed, and you'll create an excellent controlled and acoustically optimized environment! Also, if you're recording video during recording, it creates beautiful, seamless backgrounds. These curtains can be seamlessly integrated into the overall studio interior, adding style and sophistication to the space.

Improved Acoustic Performance

One of the main reasons I adore ACOUSTIC CURTAINS is their ability to significantly improve the studio's acoustic performance. These curtains are designed with several layers of dense, sound-absorbing materials that can help reduce sound reflections and reverberations in the space. The result is a cleaner and more controlled sound environment, allowing for more accurate recording of online courses.

This is a review from our custommer Lee Olson from Italy.

I live in an Italian home built in 1400. Stone walls with 12 foot ceilings in the only room I could narrate in. It was a perfect echo chamber. Built frame with 32 mm pvc and used 4 acoustic blankets VB70G on walls and one for a "roof." I could not be happier with the sound I get now. Not an echo or reverb to be heard. Total cost around $550 euros. Thanks!!

Read the article by David Juras, who plays drums.

"Hi,

I play in small pubs and clubs. The vast majority of venues have poor acoustics and with ACOUSTIC BLANKET from VocalBoothToGo and a plexi screen, I was able to effectively reduce the noise level coming from my drum kit and reduce the percussion sound reflections in small and large spaces to a much better level."

How I use the vb2go acoustic blanket to enhance the sound space for drums and sound engineers in music halls and clubs?

My makeshift structure for hanging ACOUSTIC BLANKETS consists of sturdy speaker stands and a horizontal adjustable pole. It is important to point out, however, that under the weight of the blanket, my plastic makeshift pole flexes quite a bit. I don't want to improve it now, as I will have a folding structure from a locksmith which I have been waiting for for some time and with its speed I see it for next year. :-)

Combination of ACOUSTIC BLANKETS (ACOUSTIC CURTAINS) placed behind my back and a plexiglass screen placed in front of the drum kit creates an excellent acoustic environment in which the sound of the drums is excellent even in a limited space. This solution has been used successfully when playing at various events, and the sound engineer who sounded us received thanks from the organisers for the exceptional sound that previous sound engineers had not been able to create. For me, an important aspect of these acoustic blankets is the ability on my part to provide the sound engineers with the tools to acoustically enhance my drum kit. Even if the sound engineer has top of the line equipment, having the ability to effectively influence the acoustics of the space will help to greatly simplify his job and help to create an optimal environment for the listeners.

Conclusion:

Thanks to ACOUSTIC BLANKETS from VocalBoothToGo.EU, the sound engineer can acoustically improve the production space and thus have a lot less work to do. I myself got a thank you from the organizers for the great sound they didn't have before.

Soundproofing is the strategic application of materials and techniques to minimize or eliminate the transmission of sound between spaces. Whether you're trying to create a quiet home office, reduce noise pollution in a residential area, or enhance the acoustics of a recording studio, understanding the principles of soundproofing is essential. In this article, we'll delve into the intricacies of soundproofing, exploring how it works, the role of frequencies, and conclude with a focus on a popular solution – soundproof curtains.

Understanding Sound:

Before diving into soundproofing, it's crucial to comprehend the nature of sound itself. Sound is a mechanical wave that travels through a medium, usually air. When an object vibrates, it creates pressure waves that propagate through the air, reaching our ears and enabling us to perceive sound. This fundamental characteristic of sound explains why, in the vast vacuum of space, where there is no air or any other medium, sound cannot travel.

Frequency and Wavelength:

Sound is characterized by its frequency and wavelength. Frequency refers to the number of oscillations per second and is measured in Hertz (Hz), while wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave. The audible range for humans typically falls between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

Sound Transmission:

When sound waves encounter a surface, they can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. Sound transmission occurs when waves pass through a material, potentially causing noise pollution. To mitigate this, soundproofing materials are strategically employed to disrupt or absorb sound waves.

The audible range is often divided into different frequency bands:

• Sub-bass (20 Hz - 60 Hz): Very low-frequency sounds, often felt more than heard.
• Bass (60 Hz - 250 Hz): Low-frequency sounds, including the deep tones in music.
• Midrange (250 Hz - 4 kHz): The range where most speech and many musical instruments are concentrated.
• High-midrange (4 kHz - 6 kHz): Important for the clarity and presence of many sounds.
• High frequencies (6 kHz - 20 kHz): Includes the treble tones in music and various high-pitched sounds.

Materials and Techniques:

Absorption Materials: Sound-absorbing materials, such as fiberglass, or blend of cotton and polyester, which we utilize in the production of acoustic blankets, as well as soundproof and acoustic curtains, are designed to absorb sound energy, preventing it from bouncing off surfaces and creating echoes.

Mass and Density: Heavy and dense materials, such as gypsum board, mass-loaded vinyl, which is a primary component in the manufacturing of our soundproof booths, or dense rubber, can impede the transmission of sound waves. These materials act as barriers, reducing the intensity of sound as it attempts to pass through.

Decoupling: Decoupling involves separating building elements to minimize the transmission of vibrations. Techniques like resilient channels or isolation mounts can prevent sound from traveling through structural elements.

Sealing: Proper sealing of gaps and cracks is essential to prevent the leakage of sound. Weatherstripping, acoustic sealant, and door sweeps are commonly used to ensure airtight spaces.

Soundproof Curtains:

As an accessible and versatile solution, soundproof curtains offer an additional layer of defense against unwanted noise. These curtains are typically made from dense materials with multiple layers, incorporating both absorption and mass to minimize sound transmission. The dense fabric and specialized lining help to block and absorb sound waves, providing an effective solution for spaces where traditional soundproofing methods may be impractical.

When selecting a soundproof curtain, it is crucial to pay attention to the curtain's weight, as this directly influences its effectiveness in blocking and absorbing sound. It's essential to be aware that some retailers may market regular curtains as soundproof, potentially leading to misunderstandings about their noise-reducing capabilities.

Our soundproof curtains are specifically engineered with substantial weight to deliver superior performance. They are available in two variants: one with a weight of 1300 grams per square meter and an enhanced version with an impressive 2600 grams per square meter. This substantial weight is a hallmark of their effectiveness, providing a solid barrier against sound transmission.

It's noteworthy that many curtains on the market typically weigh around 400 grams per square meter, which falls significantly short in terms of soundproofing capabilities. The robust weight of our soundproof curtains, unmatched by others, ensures a level of density and mass that is instrumental in minimizing sound penetration, making them a standout choice for those seeking a genuinely effective solution for noise control in various settings.

Conclusion:

Soundproofing is a multifaceted approach that considers the science of sound and employs various materials and techniques to control its transmission. From absorption materials to mass and density considerations, the goal is to create an environment conducive to reduced noise levels. Soundproof curtains, as a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution, contribute to this objective, offering an accessible means to enhance acoustic comfort in diverse settings. Whether you're a musician refining your studio or a homeowner seeking tranquility, understanding the principles of soundproofing empowers you to create spaces that prioritize peace and quiet.
