Mind linking to what you found to be insanely effective? Might be a dumb question, but not positive what “sound panels” are and acoustics can be pretty fickle from my experience.

Examples here

I've done a few with my own photos printed on them, they look like canvas art. Well, they basically are, but also filled with sound deadening insulation.

I will probably make some myself at custom sizes, it's basically a frame filled with insulation from the big box store, wrapped in fabric.

The impact they have is reducing room reverb, which helps a lot for conversation when there are a lot of people in the room.

MVL (most valuable lemming) right here.

I'll have to look into this. There's a few spots around my home that I'd like to be less noisy.

Wonder how hard it'd be to take one of those cheaper canvas paintings off amazon or w/e and stuff em with some dampening

[–] thenewred@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Not a bad idea. The hardest part I think would be getting the insulation to the right thickness to fit. Not sure how well it cuts.

Most art probably isn't very thick either, and 2" thick is a sweet spot because it works better at low frequencies, but isn't excessively large

Nice, thanks for sharing, I’ll have a look!

In the past, I’ve had aspirations to build a proper studio with acoustic treatments from somewhere like realtraps.com. Nowadays, there are VSTs that do a decent job of removing room reverb from a recording, so I’d be less inclined to go all out on expensive room treatments.

However, less expensive treatments just to make a room more pleasant for conversation would certainly be worthwhile. I also like the idea of making them more decorative like you mentioned.

They're likely acoustic dampening foam panels. You can get a similar, but lesser, effect with texturing the walls and ceilings. It's surprising how echoey a room is without it.
