How to reduce echo from a room with wooden floor?


Recommended Posts

Curtains, carpets, rugs, cloth. (Y)

This ^^^

Fabrics absorb sound whilst hard surfaces reflect it.

Try putting a rug down or some thinker curtains up. Alternatively you can by sound absorption board normally used in recording studios but this aren't particularly pretty.

Doesn't matter as long as it is cheap.

Check the link at the bottom of the post then, it'll work out cheaper than a rug... not an Ikea rug though.

Of course there's the age old egg box method. Collect a bunch of egg boxes, stick 'em to some board and attach them to the wall. They'll disrupt any echo.

Any particular reason you're looking to do this? Might help us identify the perfect solution.

Makes talking in group difficult in the room.

Sound absorption board it is then. Really nothing better than it for deadening sound.

Should be able to pick it up at most home store type shops, not sure where you're based but larger Homebase/B&Q's usually stock it.

Have a look here... (UK) http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&rt=nc&_nkw=sound+absorption

Third item down is what we used in all recording studios we built.
