[TIMMEHHURTS]

this could be good for when i build a recording studio

[alatulchat]

very nice! motels can be sound proof...

[efastMixer]

where can i buy them, i need them now!

[babymonsterist]

Where can I buy this?

[IntarwebUser]

This is nice. I wouldn't use it for sound-proofing, but it's certainly better at dampening sound than the plastic blinds most places have up. Plus, it could probably cut down on heat loss from windows a little bit at night, when people usually have their blinds closed.

The question though, is how does the sound absorption/heat retention compare to traditional thick fabric curtains?

[kendambu]

so all of the videos from this guys include japanese people

good for when a-holes are making noise like ganster-wanabes playing loud music.

Sadly telling them to shut up doesn't compute, too stupid and shooting them is sadly illegal.

Still i'd like to fix the problem by removing the noise source instead of working around a problem that will only get worse if left untreated.

[archaedemos]

choosing when to have quiet is awesome.

[DjZeldoman]

@alatulchat that's very good when a murderer is in your motel room, so no one can here you scream D:< MOHAHAHA

[chunky1x]

This is great for when I got busy with my girl. Oh yeah!

When absorbing sound (voice, music and so on) it is extremely important to do this evenly throughout the frequencies, using real sound absorbers and not putting them up on a whole wall but sparsely and where it does the most effect. Look at the Skype spin-off Sounds Of Science for a good example.

Thus big areas with this kind of blindes is not a good solution, for many reasons.

[Detvanliga]

Human voice concists of frequencies between 250 to 3000 Hz and the most energy is in the lower part of that range. Those blindes does not have a chance to effectively absorb the lower part and what happens is that most of the echoes will reamain, apart from the higher frequencies, leaving you with an even odder acoustic environement.
