Time to get rid of the annoying room echo inside the home theater setup! Thanks to our fancy new acoustic foam panels from SoundAssured, now all those unwanted reflections won't be so loud and direct. Much LESS echoing! And... ZERO MESS or drywall damage ontop of that :) The treated space sounds crisp and uncluttered, great for projects where mastering or listening in a living room type space. Come check out the testing comparison with full before and after test on today's DIY reverb reduction process!!! Thanks for watching :)
You Guys are the BEST! :)

For today's video we'll be trying to find normal solutions to reduce echos and improve the acoustics for our home audio setup. But the kicker, damaging the walls is NOT ALLOWED. Remember a couple weeks ago when we talked about all the different target areas inside this room, and how the space itself sounds kinda echoey? Well, today we're going to change all that. WITHOUT fancy tools either. We'll tackle all the important spots like upper corners, ceiling, and side walls, and attach 3" foam sound treatment panels from SoundAssured. Let's just hope these dang windows don't give us any grief. Stupid things are literally right in the way.
Sound Proofing Method Used: Wedge & Pyramid Shaped Diffusion / Absorption

Happy New Years, TH-cam!!!
Thanks for being apart of the TH-cam crew :D
I got 4 sundowns in my room

You're like the Energizer bunny! You really inspire to start making stuff! All the best to you and yours.
Zecret W no
EXOcontralto good to see more videos eeeexxxxoooooo!!! What happened to your index finger on your right hand?? By the way I like the music to!!
"Corner of the room, this is me crying"
😂😂
Cry-ing
Oh hi roomie, you're my favorite voice test
What ? Can't hear ya ?
😂
When he stood on that speaker I nearly had a heart attack lol
middle of the rum, this is a voice test... thanks bro.
😂
@@oinkooink Now say it in reverse... :-D
oink ooink ETORW EHS
💀 💀 💀 💀
The before and after test were so well done and really demonstrates how much echo there is when the walls are bare
this is like i am watching a tv show in 2000 :D
The worst thing about this comment is how true the statement is
Word I literally had the same thought! That's a compliment to this man
Imagine watching a horror movie then one of those fall off LOL
Migssy horror movies aren’t even scary. They are just stupid af and only pussies get scared
Watch out, we got a badass over here!
@@Terra101 haha
Preferably one from the ceiling. Lol!
@@kratoslostson3427 Stfu!
Lol I could imagine my wife coming home with these all over the place and one covering the window haha haha
RIP for you
No wife, no car, no problems……….
@@mikeeygauthier2959 Agree, imagine how pathetic you must be to be afraid of your wife. The sad thing is i see that a lot, just messed up
Oh and the "i have to ask my wife if i can buy this or that" WITH HIS OWN HARD EARNED MONEY LOL
Meanwhile shes keeping her check for herself lmfao. ( Its even funnier if they are NOT married, I mean what are u? my accountant? ) Just pathetic
Middle of the room, this is a voice test.
MIDDLE OF THE ROOM, THIS IS A VOICE TEST!!!
room the of Middle, is voice this test a.
Corner of the room, this is a voice test
This could easily be a meme 😂😂
@@gianstevens7918 Those claps should be easy to turn into a soundboard and/or remix
Playing each example more than once was awesome :)
That sound proofing not only helps to reduce echo for your speakers but it now doubles as an area for your voice overs, keep up the great work Exo!
Wow, I'm shocked at the difference! I can hear the difference clearly just through my computer speakers. It sounds sharper and as if I am there listening to you. Very impressed!
it can improve even further with additional foam on the sides.
@David Mander better than nothing
@David Mander the sound before treatment is much more "damn ugly" than the visual of post-treatment. if he regularly made videos with sound quality of the prior, people would likely change to another related post on the right before the video got halfway through.
I had some boxes left over. Took em apart and the cardboard was thin enough to run a thumbtack through it and pin it on the walls. used a hot glue gun to attach the foam panels to the cardboard and we're all set.
The video edits and sounds made me feel like I was watching a home improvement show on tv. Great work. Big noticeable differences
One of the only reviewers to show a real before and after. The only problem is those tiles are really expensive, but I guess anything that works is. Great job, subbed.
I really appreciate the formatting of this video. Everything about it has me vibing back to middle school science videos. Really clear and gets to the point.
I love how wholesome this is.
Woooow! I remember you doing videos with Jon Manchester and getting yelled at by your neighbors lol now I find you a decade later to help soundproof my studio. Glad to see how much your channel has grown.
Remember Foam like this will be great for upper midrange and high frequencies but it will not help with Bass! (yes they sell this foam as a bass trap but below 250Hz they are ineffective).
Make sure to build some Bass Traps from 703 Owens Corning compressed fiberglass. Mount it on the same plastic if you want to make it easy to remove like you did before.
Check out Ethan Winer's videos where he does some scientific comparison between materials and how to apply them in a common home room.
Great work and nice setup!
This foam wont work either way...
@@djnekkon yes it does you either listen to gearslutz to much or your probably listening to this on some crappy headphones the foam definitely helps a whole lot
@@alien-hs1zn Not that much in bass frequencies though.
11:06 Made me Lol.
Very noticeable difference in reverb for sure, nice work as usual good sir!
In my case it hurt my gear feelings. 😂
EXO thank you for putting so much heart and attention to detail in your videos! It's very much appreciated and inspires us to knock out projects on our own!
6:08 those voicecrack put a smile on my face sir ! Thank you
😁😁😁😁 I like the way you checked the sound😂. "Middle of the room, this is a voice test"
Thank you bruh. I've learned a lot from this video
You should win an award for a high quality youtube video. Well done.
Using the mirror is such a simple but accurate method.
I love the chloroplasts! Been wondering how to mount such foam to concrete walls. Thanks!
yo small world i was in one of your videos at the skatepark such along time ago and now your helping me install acoustic foam!!
"voice tester, this is the middle of the room." Lol
Great help! Been looking for tuts on how to soundproof a room
Awesome! Sounds like a professional recording studio. Big difference. Good work!
i love how straight forward this guy is
I think it's great that you mentioned at the early stages of your video that the foams need to be left alone to expand. Dummy me would have taken the foams out of the package. Saw that the foams were, 'cheesy' or 'not as advertised' and sought to send them back. Lol.
No one ever bothers to mention on any video that you need to allow the foams time to rest and expand. Kudos to you for pointing that out.
There's nothing like a well treated room! Nice results man! Cheers from Brazil
Julio Lopes this is not treated room at all. This is mocking to treated rooms.
@@michaelwiggler511 The intention of this man isn't becoming his room to a professional room for recording or mixes, it's just for listening to music. Not even 10% of the people would make things like this in a living room. It would be considered "too much". So, don't be so hard. He didn't mean to make a professional room...
MIchael Wiggler Not really
I love the attitude. You sound so damn happy, it's great! Please keep it up
'Me and my girlfriend have already broke in this room' 🤣
You did this video so well as you explained everything from setup to testing. Well deserved 1 million + views.
This is awesome dude! I'm gonna have to save up some money and get me a set of that foam! Thanks for showing just how MUCH of a difference it really makes, because more people should know about this, especially for a dedicated home theater room, and *especially* if they really care about amazing sound quality improvements!
Keep up your great videos dude! I actually really wish I could collaborate with you somehow because I'm a huge "audio nerd" myself, (Lol!), and many of the things you're interested in, I am also!
save up some money? they are $25...
I really like the video and it was very helpful but I did see one problem in your video. You show us the strips to get. Which are the white strips for holding. Then later in the video you use black velcro strips for applying to the holding strips. So I need to know what type of black Velcro strips you use. So I can go out and get those same exact ones so I can put those on my panels. I’m just really confused. If you could help me out that be great.
Bro I really loved the camera work and angles you used showing the room with the foam
Thanks for the video inspiration! Setting up my mini home studio and learning all about my new Naru station
What measurements are these exact bro ? There’s no more in stock on amazon so I went to the actual sound assured website but idk which size are the ones that you linked.
Happy new year!!!! Exo that’s a big difference. Once I’m in my new place I’m looking into some of that foam for my home theater room.
Before : middle of the roooomm this is aaaa voiceee testtttt!!!!
After : MIDDLE OF THE ROOM THIS IS A VOICE TEST!
You are an absolute legend you explain everything properly and I love the fact that you’re so chilled and everything you do I watch all your videos and I’ve been following you for a long time well done man well done I love you❤
@EXOControlato are you for sure going to be at slamology with Little blue?
The before and after is really top notch!
Just so you know, this foam only treats the high end, below ~2000hz this foam do not absorb anything. Anyway good video !
Really? How come the results are so obvious? Overtones?
I agree. There will still be standing waves for the lower frequencies which won’t be obvious in the sound demo because the sources were voice. It definitely made a difference but won’t stop the large wavelengths from continuing to decay, and you’ll hear noticeably different amplitudes of low frequencies at different locations within the room.
I've been browsing Amazon for some sound proof panels and I'm so happy that I found your video. I'm definitely keeping this company in mind when it comes to sound-proofing my room!
Please understand that this is not sound-proofing anything in any way, shape or form. Acoustic foam does nothing but reduce high frequency flutter echoes. If you want to treat a listening room you should at the very least be using broadband diffusor panels and bass traps. Using foam products like this is going to sound like it helps but in actuality, it's like turning down the high end of your system and in many cases, making mid-range issues more of a pronounced.
@@JAMPROSOUND hey bro can I contact you somewhere ? I’m a college student but I make music and I want your advice on sound proofing
Still waiting for: Building my brand new Frankenstein install PART 1!
"MIDDLE OF THE ROOM THIS IS A VOICE TEST !" x 50 times. I just would love to see your neighbor's face at this time hahaha
"MIDDLE OF THE ROOM, THIS IS A VOICE TEST"
Neighbor: does this guy need me to call 911? he seems distressed .-.
Good on you for showing the waveforms with example sounds. Good way to visualize the reduction in decay.
Because of the editing I feel like I'm watching a tv house flipping show 😂😂
Absolutely pissing myself
"CORNER OF THE ROOM. THIS IS A VOICE TEST".
Awsome video? Awsome results. I will certainly check out this material
Please do a frequency response measurement on your speakers.
Awesome. I like how you did all of the before and after examples.
Don't really care about the content, doesn't look very interesting to me but I love EXO so here I am
Afterwards sounds greater than before. It made a big difference 🤩🤩
14:01 My vocal coach when I’m being naughty during my voice lesson
Nobody:
This guy: CORNER OF THE ROOM THIS IS A VOICE TEST!!!
I love it 😂
You should voice test the song “Sweet Child O Mine” would love to hear the before & after of that!
Hey exo over the past few weeks I’ve watched a shit ton of your videos and because of you I was inspired to build a nice setup in my room and have 2 12” 1000w subs and it’s amazing.
11:08 none of my equipment is solid enough to use as a ladder. Kudos!
Yeah, but take in count that he is like 50 kg in weight. Hahahahaha.
If people like me, with currently weight of 100+ kilos, climbed on that speaker like that, it would pop and crack for sure... ;-D
*Cheers!*
STEP LADDERS COST $30!!
I've been waiting for an upload since the last. You capture the excitement of audio like no other channel :)
Excellent video, with actual results. Thank you for your time in making it.
Man something so simple made such a big difference.👍
How was ur New Years
Legit. I like the idea of the removable panels.
10:05 hello dark ness my old friend 😂
Love the A/B testing well done, I have 48 12x12x2 panels and am picking up another set of 24 for my door.
A: This is a voice test!
(Me when I'm talking to the Corner of my room.)
It’s a relief to see you upload after so long
Or maybe i moving out from my apartment. Living there for long i think. So can i turning up the volume to 11+ . 😊😂👍
That's impressive and hats off for your clear voice test. I totally get it 👍👍👍
@8:00mins Ngga dis beat hard AF LOL
Ernest Londe does this Beat Exist as a single complete video or audio ?
Wonder how those velcro strips will come off the ceiling . whether or not it will damage the paint job.
Still no Frankenstein build videos? Tis tis
Tisk Tisk* just saying bud...
You make the video so entertaining and close to real life that I could not skip to the end for the result. I went through every bit with you. I was looking for the same foam but I could get 2 inches modes, should I go ahead (India). Thank you.
I dont know if my wife would be very happy to get that foam on the wall :)
MIDDLE OF THE RUMM THIS IS A VOICE TEST
Bro, you are insane and those speakers look dope. Awesome video man.
middle of the east, this is a war test.
Good job. It reduces echo, much better than before
WOW! The voice is so much solid and sounds way more professional without the treatment. I was skeptical because I am like. PFFT, foam, that ain't gonna do anything. Whatever, and after the sound tests I was blown away. Furniture also makes a big difference. Put in a cheap sofa in there, and you reduce more sound. But thanks for the tutorial. I been struggling with reverb. I been recording with a blanket over my head and it was honestly so hot under there. Lol. This is gonna make my vocals sound awresome. My $150 mic which has a higher rating than the Blue Yeti USB mic (Samsun G-Track Pro is what I have) is going to make my vocals so dry which will be perfect for mixing. Like any mic is going to sound cheap aF if the room isn't treated, and I been like "Oh, maybe glue carpet to the walls" I thought foam was gonna suck but it seems like they work.
I didn't know Daniel Radcliffe was such a home audio buff! Thanks a ton :)
I think I'll order this kit...as I'm working on a home theater...glad I saw this test thanks
Exo my friend closest brother so happy to see you back on TH-cam again
wow , that is drastic, that stuff really works
This was an awesome representation of how much it actually works. Great for those looking at acoustic foam!👍🏽
Fantastic video, one question though, what's a rum ?
PERFECT. Now I don't need to explain myself regarding these sheets of foam that just came in. I just play this video to the rest of the people in the house LoL
What really impress me is the result of the part "Corner of the room,this is a voice test".
great vid man
Ya, Phil rocks!
Great results! Congrats on passing 300k
you are the squirrel from over the hedge. that’s a compliment
Thanks for including the waveforms.
FYI You can utilize a noise gate to try and prevent the lower db value echo's from the room from getting into the mix. I would also implement it with a gentle knee because if it is too harsh it will gate on spoken word. This is a fine line to walk because, it may result spoken word having its' tail cut off so to speak, but I recommend this for people that can not afford acoustic treatment.
I have used this in a Biamp DSP and have seen tremendous improvements as a result.
Hell na id rather build a good room where I don’t need to use a noise gate
This difference is noticeable for sure. The audio after the foam installation is much cleaner.
Great vid! How many bundle packs did you use in the video?
watching from Chile, thank you for explaing everything you are doing with acoustic foam.
Man that is an awesome plan using the mirror to place it right. I've never realized but that makes sense. Thanks!
