Make a SoundProof Booth at the Corner of Your Room

Building a Soundproof booth at the corner of the room is a great idea. As this decision will help you to reduce your overall cost by more than 60% (happened with me).

Before building, you should consider these checklists:

• More than 10 inches of the thickness of Plywood: 1 – 5 inches will improve sound Quality by 10 to 15%, 6 to 10 will improve sound Quality by 40 to 60%, and 10 to 15 inches of plywood will improve sound quality by more than 80%,
• Use High-Quality Acoustic Sealant and Adhesive to seal the Cracks
• Use High-Quality Acoustic Panels

You do not need to apply Plywood on the two sides of the booth as there is a 5 to 10 inches thick wall. You only need to install Acoustic Panels on those sides.

Install your equipment and you are good to go. Thus, you have installed a SoundProof Booth in the Corner of Your Room.

Step 1: Make a Plan

The creation of a plan is a great idea if anyone wants to do anything. Just like another thing you also need to plan to “Build Soundproof Booth”. During your planning, you need to consider the following:

• Where you are making the booth?
• Build the walls, ceiling, floor
• Apply soundproofing paint
• Install Acoustic Foam
• Install the Best Acoustic Sealant and Adhesive
• Setup Pop UP Filter near Mike

After the creation of the plan, you need to move to the next plan;

Step 2: Where you are making the soundproofing booth?

You can make a soundproof booth where you have planned. Some of the places I can suggest are:

• Your Bed Room
• Dining Room
• or anywhere in your home

Before selecting the space, you need to consider the place you are building is Quiet in nature.

Step 3: Build the Walls, Ceiling, Floor

You need to build walls, ceilings, and floor for your soundproof booth in the place where you selected to make it. Now, you need to build Walls, Ceilings, Floor.

Step 4: Apply Soundproofing Paint

Now apply paint around the wall, and make sure you are using high-quality paint with more than 60% sound deflection.

Step 5: Install Acoustic Foam

After this, you need to install or paste Acoustic Foam over the wall and ceiling of the floor.

Step 6: Install the Best Acoustic Sealant and Adhesive

To install the best acoustic sealant, follow these steps:

1. Clean the surface where the sealant will be applied to ensure that it is free of dust, dirt, and debris.
2. Apply the sealant using a caulking gun or a sealant applicator.
3. Smooth out the sealant using a caulk smoothing tool or your finger to ensure an even application.
4. Allow the sealant to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Once dry, test the sealant for sound reduction by conducting sound tests before and after installation.

It is important to note that the best acoustic sealant for your project will depend on the specific needs of the space you are trying to soundproof.

Step 7: Setup Pop UP Filter near Mike

To set up a pop-up filter near a microphone, you will need the following items:

• A pop-up filter (also known as a windscreen or foam shield)
• A microphone stand or boom arm
• A microphone clip or holder

Now the following method in order to install the Pop UP Filter near Mike;

1. Attach the microphone to the stand or boom arm using the clip or holder.
2. Position the microphone so that it is facing the desired sound source.
3. Attach the pop-up filter to the stand or boom arm so that it is directly in front of the microphone.
4. Adjust the position of the pop-up filter as needed to achieve the desired level of wind protection and sound clarity.
5. Test the microphone with the pop-up filter in place to ensure that it is working properly and effectively reducing wind noise.

It is important to note that a pop-up filter may not completely eliminate wind noise and may also affect the sound quality of your recording.

What is a Good SoundProof Booth?

The answer to this simple question is full of complexity. So, we try to solve this question:

A good soundproof booth is an enclosed space that is designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted outside noise and prevent sound from escaping the booth. This can be especially important in certain settings such as recording studios, broadcasting booths, and scientific research facilities where a high degree of sound isolation is required.

The most important aspect of a soundproof booth is its ability to block and absorb sound. I believe a good soundproof booth can decrease the noise level by more than 80%.

Another important aspect of a good soundproof booth is its ability to be properly sealed. This means that there should be no gaps or openings in the walls, doors, or windows that would allow sound to enter or exit the booth. This can be achieved through the use of weatherstripping, door sweeps, and acoustic sealants.

Additionally, a good soundproof booth should have proper ventilation and an air conditioning system to ensure comfort for the person inside. The booth can become quite hot and stuffy without proper ventilation, which can be very uncomfortable for the person inside.

A good soundproof booth should also be designed with ergonomics in mind. This means that the booth should be comfortable to sit in and should be easy to use. This can include features such as comfortable seating, good lighting, and easy-to-use controls for the ventilation and air conditioning system.

Types of Soundproof Booth – You Can Make

You can design your booth in multiple designs but you can make only three types of vocal booths. These three are Permanent Soundproof Booths, Semi-Portable Soundproof Singing Booths, and Portable Soundproof Singing Booths. Let us discuss these three in a very descriptive manner:

1. Portable Soundproof Booths: These are soundproof booths that can be easily assembled and disassembled. They are typically made of lightweight materials and can be transported to different locations as needed. Portable soundproof booths are often used in live music venues, film and television production, and scientific research.
2. Semi-Portable / Modular Soundproof Booths: These are similar to portable soundproof booths in that they can be assembled and disassembled, but they are typically made of more durable materials and can be reconfigured to suit different needs. They are often used in industrial settings and for testing equipment.
3. Permanent Soundproof Booths: These are soundproof booths that are built to specific specifications and are not designed to be disassembled or moved. They are typically used in permanent installations such as recording studios, broadcasting booths, and scientific research facilities.
4. Mobile Soundproof Booths: These are soundproof booths that are mounted on wheels, allowing them to be easily moved around a facility or transported to different locations. They are often used in industrial settings, recording studios and scientific research.

Out of these four types of booths, I personally used a Portable soundproof booth for more than 2 years and semiportable for more than a year. I personally enjoyed and prefer a permanent soundproof booth.
