practicing your art is an important component of keeping a great voice, and a great sound of your instrument. But how does your voice improve? And how does the sound of your musical instrument improve? We'll present two ways of how you can instantly improve the sound of your voice or your musical instrument in your practicing room. These two ways are: installing acoustical foam on your walls, doors, and possibly ceiling, and using acoustical drapes. You'll be shocked how either one or both together will improve the sound of your instrument.
But that is not all. I will bet that, having a better room acoustics, you will hear yourself play better and the sound of your instrument will continue to improve at a faster pace.
Installing acoustical foam
Acoustical foam looks just like a regular foam but is created from the natural or man made materials that have special sound dampening qualities. Such sound dampening must occur over the wide gamut of frequencies, the wider the better. The range of frequencies must definitely include the frequencies your voice or your musical instrument is capable of generating. The sound absorption is both a function of the foam volume and the foam surface, so many times acoustical foam is shaped with outwards pointing spikes, or wedges, to increase its surface, and decrease the sound reflection. Installing such foam on the walls, doors, and ceilings, will not only improve your sound but will also reduce the amount of sound that penetrates outside your room, likely making the house more livable for the others.
Acoustical drapes
Acoustical drapes, sometimes termed "noise drapes" have their place when installing acoustical foam is not practical, or not allowed, such as when you rent a flat. Acoustical drapes can be either permanent acoustical drapes, installed just like the regular drapes, or they can be portable acoustical drapes, and can be moved about, possibly on a frame with the coaster wheels attached. You may want to use acoustical drapes in conjunction with acoustical foam, to cover walls where acoustical foam is impractical, such as the walls that have windows. Of you can use these sound absorbing drapes on top of the sound dampening foam, to increase the sound dampening effect.
You can expect immediately audible improvement of the sound of your voice or the sound of your musical instrument after the installation over a significant portion of the surface of your walls. And, since you will have a better feedback on the quality of your own voice or sound, you can expect the sound of your music to continue to improve as the time goes on.
