Audimute Soundproof Curtain Behind Thermal Curtains? It’s a Necessary Addition

Thermal curtains, also known as insulating curtains, have always been popular but have become even more so as the cost of energy rises.  Thermal curtains are made to cut back the heat and cool air that often leak through windows and hike up energy bills.  At Audimute, cost-effective solutions are our business, so thermal curtains, insulating curtains, soundproof curtainwhen we discovered that insulating curtains and our own soundproof curtain go hand in hand, we had to tell you about it.

Basically, if you’ve been looking at all the thermal curtains in the market, you’ve probably noticed that most claim to block light, heat and cool air, but very few claim to block sound.  If they do claim to block sound, they usually don’t give an NRC test rating for their products.  This is a red flag because NRC indicates how much sound a particular material will absorb at the most common frequencies.

That’s where the Audimute soundproof curtain comes in.  By hanging an Audimute soundproof curtain behind insulating curtains (or even on its own), you will experience an incredible reduction in noise within your room. With an NRC rating of .7, the Audimute soundproof curtain (also known as a sound absorption sheet) has the ability to absorb as much as 70 percent of the sound waves in a space.  This means that 70 percent of the echoes and reverberation caused by conversation, musical instruments, household appliances, and other bothersome noises can be eliminated, if installed correctly.  Since every situation is unique, it’s important to consult an acoustical expert before purchasing  soundproofing products to make sure it will work for your application.

Because Audimute products are made from natural materials, a soundproof curtain is a very effective but much less expensive option to other sound absorption products, like foam or fiberglass. Just as thermal curtains are a great way to save money on your energy bill, adding an eco-friendly soundproof curtain behind existing curtains is a great way to help your immediate environment, as well as the greater one.

If you’re looking for insulating curtains, don’t stop your search there.  Visit www.audimutesoundproofing.com or give us a call at 866-505-MUTE today and ask about our soundproof curtain and how it will work in your unique application.  To see how others used the Audimute curtain in their space, check out our customer YouTube videos .

Noise Insulation for Your DIY Soundproofing Needs

There are many types of noise insulation materials that can be used when soundproofing a room.  DIY isolation material and DIY silencer are two types of noise insulation that serve entirely different purposes.

noise insulation, DIY silencer, DIY isolationA DIY silencer is noise insulation that is installed between walls and floors to create a barrier against loud, distracting noises.  The purpose of DIY silencer materials is to increase the STC of a partition, which is the key to reducing the amount of sound that is transmitted through between rooms. Peacemaker Sound Insulation 2mm and 3.2mm are cost-effective DIY silencer materials that offer superior noise reduction and moisture protection.  Both are ideal solutions for multi-family residences, apartments, condos, studios, theaters and many other spaces where noise is an issue.  Peacemaker Noise Insulation is a high-performance, eco-friendly product that makes a difference not only in your immediate environment but in the greater one as well.

Unlike a silencer, DIY isolation material, such as Peacemaker 6.4mm, serves as a resilient channel for low-frequency applications. This product helps to reduce structural noise that often leads to poor acoustics in a space by absorbing the shock of the sound waves.  DIY isolation materials have a unique anti-vibration quality that helps to isolate low-frequency sounds, making it the ideal solution for home theaters, recording studios, band rooms or even conference halls- places that often have sufficient wall mass to deal with low-frequency sounds but lack the isolation material needed to control vibrations.

When it comes to noise insulation, it’s important to recognize the source of the sound that is causing problems.  If you’re dealing with low-frequency sounds, you might want to consider a DIY isolation material like Peacemaker 6.4 mm to effectively redefine the acoustics within a space.  On the other hand, if you’re looking to effectively block sound transmission between rooms, Peacemaker 2 mm or 3.2 mm is probably the better solution.

DIY Soundproofing| DIY Soundproof Tips

Posted in Home Theater Soundproofing, Recording Studio Soundproofing by soundpro on the June 15th, 2009

When you think about soundproofing, you probably think that it’s a job for an expert, or at least someone who is good at handiwork.  What you might not realize is just how manageable DIY soundproofing can be. Beginners need to take into account a few things before launching their own projects:

1. The Purpose: Understanding the purpose of soundproofing rooms is important because it helps with the initial decision of which soundproofing materials to buy.  Since each DIY soundproof need is different, there is no standard technique that can be used as a sort of reference to taking on such a job. By establishing the purpose of soundproofing rooms in your home or studio, whether that is to acoustically tune your home theater, block the sound of your loud neighbors, or control noise within a recording room, you will be better equipped to pick products that will work for your own unique application.

2. The Source:  Knowing the source of the noise that you want to reduce is necessary in DIY soundproofing, because all sounds register at different frequencies, and thus are blocked using different materials.  High frequencies are usually much easier to control than are low frequencies, seeing as lower sounds (such as trucks, airplanes, or a tuba) are very difficult to eliminate.

3. The Products: When creating DIY soundproof floors, walls, ceilings and rooms, you need to know whether it’s best to buy products that absorb sound or block it.  Soundproofing rooms such as home theaters, band rooms, recording studios, etc. usually require a balance between absorption and isolation materials.

4. The Price: Price is a very essential element when soundproofing rooms on a DIY soundproofing budget.  Many materials advertise effectiveness but take a toll on your wallet.  Other products showcase affordable prices, but lack in efficiency. Finding the balance between effectiveness and affordability is the difference between being satisfied with your applications or regretting them.  It’s best to consult with a professional before purchasing DIY soundproofing products.

Call Audimute Soundproofing at 800-505-6883 to talk to members of our knowledgeable staff, who are ready and equipped with information that will help you find the right soundproofing solutions for your individual applications.  Audimute Soundproofing offers a wide range of both effective and affordable soundproofing solutions that can be used for all DIY soundproofing needs.

DIY Car Soundproofing Project- Peacemaker an Alternative to Dynamat Insulation

Just when we think that we’ve seen it all, a creative soundproofing genius comes to our attention via email.  It sometimes takes a little risk and a lot of creativity to come up with an entirely different use for a product, which was the case with one of our customers, Ryan Lynch.  In desperate need to deaden the noise and vibrations heard and felt within his ’97 Toyota Landcruiser, Lynch turned to Peacemaker by Audimute as a more affordable option to car soundproofing.

“I always hoped to transform my car into my ‘dream car’ and was about to install a high level sound system in it.  I wanted the best car soundproofing possible, so I called a local car audio store and asked them what it would cost to have the floors in my car soundproofed.  He said it would cost me over $2000!”

Dynamat insulation, car soundproofingQuickly after deciding that such a price was out of reach for his car soundproofing, Lynch turned to Google.  Dynamat insulation seemed to be the biggest car soundproofing player online, however upon stumbling onto Audimute and reading about Peacemaker, Lynch made a decision to invest $84 vs. $600 and do the job himself.

Peacemaker sound insulation by Audimute proved to be successful in helping Lynch achieve the results he was looking for in his car soundproofing project.

If you have a unique soundproofing need, Audimute could be your answer.  Although Audimute products are not labeled as car soundproofing materials, our creative customers have determined that Audimute offers a more affordable, effective alternative to products such as Dynamat insulation.  To read more customer testimonials, click here or check out or web site at www.audimutesoundproofing.com.  Audimute- we make soundproofing simple!

Peacemaker by Audimute- A Cheap Alternative to Dynamat Sound Proofing

It sometimes takes a creative customer to stumble across a new use for a product, which was exactly the case of Ryan Lynch, who purchased Peacemaker sound insulation 2mm as an alternative to Dynamat car insulation, for use in his Toyota Landcruiser.

After researching other products online, such as Dynamat sound proofing insulation, Lynch came across Peacemaker and was immediately attracted to the price.

“For less than $100, I could purchase enough car soundproofing materials to do the job myself, and it only seemed logical that the same materials that could be used to soundproof a room could also soundproof my car.  I opted for the 2mm Peacemaker sheets, which allowed me to double layer it under the floor of my car.  I am NOT a mechanic but I did have a little experience with sound system installation (although not much).  I pulled up everything and carefully molded and sealed Peacemaker to the bare metal floor of my car using a spray designed to seal rubber weather stripping to car metal.  I had two helpers and the job took about 12 hours to complete.”

Dynamat car, Dynamat sound proofingVery satisfied with his results, Lynch ranked Peacemaker much higher on his scale of companies offering similar products, such as Dynamat sound proofing, saying that he would definitely recommend Audimute to others.  Although Audimute is not labeled as a car soundproofing material, it has many of the same properties as Dynamat car insulation.  Just like Dynamat sound proofing materials, Audimute Peacemaker is a water resistant insulation that can be used in floor applications, offering superior noise reduction and moisture protection.

If you are looking for an alternative that is just as effective but more affordable than Dynamat car insulation, turn to Audimute.  Check out our web site at www.audimutesoundproofing.com give us a call as 866-505-6883.  Audimute- we make soundproofing simple!

Customer Review- “Couldn’t Believe the Difference Audimute Made in Our Church!”

Customers from all walks of life turn to Audimute for their unique sound absorption needs.  What may be surprising is the fact that cathedral sound room dampening is one of the greatest needs among Audimute customers.  Since most church interiors are typically constructed with many hard surfaces, such as stone, wood, concrete or other non-absorptive materials, the need for cathedral sound room dampening is essential, as recently noted by one customer, who purchased Audimute Absorption Panels and Sheets for sound control during worship and other church events.

“Our church purchased Audimute Absorption Panels and Sound Absorption Sheets from you one year ago. We installed the panels ourselves. Through the last year, many people of our congregation have commented on how much better the sound is controlled in our church.  They couldn’t believe the difference Audimute made!”

There are numerous aspects of a church that make sound absorption essential, including the fact that singing, preaching, and playing loud instruments are all sources of echoes, vibrations and intense sound distortion when cathedral sound room dampening is not implemented.   To find a solution to your sound problem, call Audimute today at 1-866-505-6883 or visit our website at www.audimutesoundproofing.com.  We make soundproofing simple!

Play in a Band? Sound Dampening Pad by Audimute- The Acoustical Solution

If you play in a band, sound dampening is one of the most important elements in your practice space.  In fact, there isn’t one musician out there who will deny the importance of quality acoustical sound dampening.  You know those yelling matches you get into with other members of your band?  The ones that waste your practice time and lead to animosity within the group?  Well, those can be controlled and even eliminated by investing in a quality sound dampening pad.

acoustical sound dampening, band sound dampening, sound dampening padIf you are looking to increase the productivity of your band, sound dampening products will have a HUGE impact, primarily by creating an environment where the echoes and vibrations from so many instruments are eliminated.  Echoes typically bounce between walls and back into band members’ ears without acoustical sound dampening, causing one member to play louder just to be able to hear his own instrument.  When one member plays louder, everyone else is forced to play louder, which ultimately creates music that is acoustically unpleasing.

This entire issue can be addressed by simply installing either Audimute Absorption sheets or a sound dampening pad, also known as an acoustical sound panel, in your band’s practice room.  Audimute Absorption sheets are one of the most inexpensive ways to control echoes and vibrations in a room and are easily hung using MegaClips.  The sound dampening pad made by Audimute is also a great solution for those who might not have a big budget, but do have an immense need for acoustical sound dampening.  This option not only improves the acoustics in a space, but comes in many sizes, shapes and colors, creating a room that looks as good as it sounds.

Take it from one of our happy customers, who used Audimute acoustical panels in his own recording studio.

Audimute absorption sheets are available in both regular and long sizes, as well as in a variety of different package sizes.  Audimute Acoustic panels are also offered in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors and can even be customized using your own picture, image, or band logo.  Audimute acoustical sound dampening products are not only eco-friendly, but are also some of the most inexpensive options as far as band sound dampening products go.

If you’re looking for a low cost, effective option to band sound dampening, then Audimute is the answer. Check out all of our acoustical sound dampening products at www.audimutesoundproofing.com or give us a call at 1-866-505-6883.  We’ll be happy to help you find a simple sound solution!

Audimute DIY Sound Dampening: Home Applications

Posted in DIY Soundproofing, Soundproofing Case Studies by soundpro on the April 15th, 2009

People have long turned to DIY sound dampening products as a way of not only reducing the transmission of sound between rooms but improving the acoustics within their space.  Although we could sit here and tell you a million reasons why Audimute products really are some of the least expensive, most effective soundproofing products in the business, you probably don’t want to hear it from us- which is exactly why we decided to tell you about a case of a recent customer who purchased materials from Audimute for sound dampening.  Home soundproofing products often range from extremely low-cost, insufficient DIY sound dampening materials to unreasonably high, yet ultimately superior products that give you more soundproofing than you’ll ever need.

One satisfied customer used Audimute absorption panels in her sound dampening home application.  The following was taken from an email sent to us after delivering her Acoustic Absorption Panels:

“As you can see from the first photo, our home has tall ceilings and lots of open space. Unfortunately, the space was an echo chamber that only got worse when we made some changes to furniture and rugs. We purchased twenty Audimute panels in white with the intention of building some DIY sound dampening panels that could be placed on the ceiling and easily removed.”

“Before using Audimute panels for sound dampening, home noises such as a fork tapping the kitchen countertop could be heard vibrating throughout the house. Conversations and music were nearly impossible. Now we have a quiet house without vibrating sounds and wonder music in this space. We had looked at acoustic tile but decided it was too costly and too ugly. Our panels are hardly noticed by people visiting, but when they are noticed, people find them a soft addition to the space and not the least obtrusive. We are very pleased with our panels.”

Cutting Back Sound and Vibration With Sound Barrier Materials/ Sound Isolation Materials

Posted in Customer Applications, Sound Insulation Barrier, Soundproofing Case Studies by soundpro on the April 13th, 2009

Audimute sound barrier materials as well as sound isolation materials, have proven to be an extremely effective yet low-cost solution for many customers looking to block the transmission of sound between walls, floors, windows and ceilings while cutting back the vibrations within their rooms. But what should you do about the atypical noises that require unique soundproofing solutions? We’ve already told you about the customer who used Audimute absorption sheets to soundproof their bird cage, but we have another example of a clever use of Audimute sound isolation materials, courtesy of one of our more recent customers.

One extremely satisfied restaurant owner chose to use Peacemaker sound insulation to line the cabinets in the kitchen, where the noise and vibrations from his blenders were making it difficult to talk on the phone at the same time.

Despite the fact that Peacemaker generally works best when installed between drywall, the customer swore by the sound isolation material’s effectiveness in deadening the noise and vibrations caused by the mixers. Before the installation of Audimute’s sound isolation materials, the customer said he could hardly talk on the phone while the blenders were on. After lining the cabinets with Peacemaker 6.4mm, the happy man thanked us, stating, “I can hardly hear the mixers running anymore!”
