How to Make Soundproofing Pannels

If you need to soundproof a dorm room or college apartment you may need some soundproofing panels. They can be expensive if you are buying professional ones that are already made but its not too hard to make some decent ones yourself. You will still need to buy some supplies but for a pretty low cost and a little time you can have your own dorm room soundproofing panels to put up on your walls.

First you need some kind of foam pads. You can look for the least expensive kind but professional soundproofing panels are made from fiberglass. The only other thing you need is some kind of felt or fabric. Cover the foam in the fabric and glue it down in the back. Smooth out the fabric on the front of the panel and you are done. Now you just put them up on the walls wherever you need. You can paste them up with some liquid nails or hang them like a picture. For a dorm room, this would probably be a better option for soundproofing.

Soundproofing panels like these could be placed on the walls or the roof of your dorm room. The best places for them might be around any speakers or monitors you have in your dorm, or even around the TV. These can be helpful for dorm room recording situations or just if you want to keep the neighbors from hearing all the noise you make. With these soundproofing panels your dorm room can be almost professionally soundproofed.
