Foam does not work effectively for soundproofing as it has insubstantial mass to BLOCK sound whereas it is highly capable of ABSORBING sound. That is why 'acoustic foam' is for real and 'soundproof foam' is a myth.

How does Acoustic Foam work?

Acoustic foam can provide you with two different ways to soundproof your studio or home.

A. Open-cell foam offers sound absorption

You can soak up the sound as the sound waves by using open-cell foam. However, the sound will still pass through the foam, but it won't if you use closed-cell foam.

B. Closed-Cell foam provides sound blocking

It's possible to block sound by using closed-cell foam as it reduces the sound pressure waves. Whether the sound is coming from different sources or an instrument, this is effective. Acoustic foam is designed to reduce sound vibration around the room, but it won't block it.

What is required to effectively soundproof?

Sound doesn't pass through a wall or a roof. It vibrates it. For good soundproofing, material that does not shake is required. This material needs to be dense enough not to vibrate. Acoustic foam can correct the standing waves, flutter echoes and mid to high-frequency sounds.

Many of our customers ask what the difference between foam and acoustic foam is. It's an excellent question too. As foam and acoustic foam looks so similar and feels similar, it's something that puzzles many.

Acoustic foam is made differently to open-celled foam so that you get a product that does its job well.
