Sound Dampening Foam- Key to an excellent home theater experience

When you are serious about building the best home theatre you can build, definitely, it is vital that you choose an excellent HD screen or a strong projector, and an excellent stereo system. But what many forget is the right acoustical design and sound dampening foam of the home theatre room. In this short post, we will provide you the keys to an excellent home theatre experience, and provide you reasons why they have a great ROI in respect to other costly equipment that you purchase.

 

Soundproof flooring

 

Even if there is nobody living below your home theater room, it is still vital to have soundproof flooring or acoustic flooring in your home theater or media room. The reason is not so much for preventing the sound to come in or go out through the floor but to prevent sound reflections from the floor to make it a quiet room.

 

Sound dampening foam

 

You can put acoustical foam on the walls along with a sound proof blanket, and on the ceilings of your media room. Acoustical foam is specially designed foam, made of just the appropriate sized bubbles, and the ideal materials to maximally absorb the range of frequencies from the lowest bass to the highest audible pitch.

 

So why are the sound foam, soundproof flooring and sound dampening panels so vital?

 

Two reasons, first of all, prevent the sounds to escape the room. Why is that vital? Okay, not so much for the sake of your experience but instead for the experience of others. You will want to have loud sound in your home theater for a better experience, at least in some of the films. But them without soundproofing and sound dampening panels, the sound will leak out and will adversely impact the people that are not watching the film at the time.
