Sound proofing / Damping.

[John O'Dwyer]

Hello all,

We are currently trying to dampen the sound in our building, particularly in the dining room. We have come across a recording studio room that used rockwool (fibreglass) in a large wooden frame that was fixed to the wall, much like a picture frame. We like the idea of this and have our arts and crafts teacher thinking about the project.

However, we don't want to use fibreglass because of the danger of people breathing it in or running their hands over it. Does anyone know of any other materials that would do the job?

Regards,

John

I like the stuff discussed here:

cotton fiber as well as wool has been used for this purpose in cars and buildings, It sounds daft but its also good on the enviromental side as well as insulation.
