But i recently had a client request a soundproof room in their basement for music practice. They insisted on using every leftover building material they could find, including a bunch of old carpets and what looked like foam from a 70s sofa. The result was a room that looked like a psychedelic cave! It worked surprisingly well for noise control, but now every time I hear them play, I half-expect a disco ball to drop from the ceiling. Ever had a project that just took a wild turn?
Sounds like a wild project! I once soundproofed a room with old egg cartons and ended up with something that resembled a breakfast joint. It worked great for absorbing sound, but I kept expecting a plate of eggs to show up.
I’ve had a similar experience where I used leftover acoustic panels from a gym renovation. It turned out cozy but felt like performing in a sports arena! If your client’s setup works well for sound, at least they’re rocking the psychedelic vibe — just don’t expect any Grammy nominations, right?
