What are Soundproof Blankets Used For?

The short answer to this is nearly everything that requires noise reduction!

To go into more detail: A soundproof blanket has a variety of uses and styles depending on your individual needs.

This can be anything from creating soundproof recording studios for artistic endeavors, making a sound barrier for a noisy workshop, or blocking out street noise in a loud neighborhood.

 

Soundproof blankets are also known as studio blankets which are often used to soundproof house rooms and turn them into home studios – which is, again, ideal for streamers, video recorders, and even musicians.

The styles and material that these acoustic blankets are made up of will depend on the kind of effect you get.

The thick, but cheap, moving style blankets will help to get rid of higher decibel noise, while the quilted, acoustic style blankets will tend to the lower, bass-level tones.

Most soundproof blankets are made of a fiberglass or polyester material, which allows it to absorb and bounce off sound while also providing a sort of insulation to the room that you decide to put it in.

Soundproof Blankets for Sound Control

If you do opt for a soundproofing blanket, remember to ask for an STC rating before purchasing, completely wrap it around any openings in the wall (doorways, windows), and seal it tightly against the adjacent surface. Many sound control approaches are less effective because they allow sound flanking around the edges – sound that sneaks around the perimeter of the treatment and transfers into the treated space.

By selecting the correct kind of acoustic or soundproof blanket, you can address your noise issues and get an affordable handle on the situation. As you see in the above photo, these sound absorbing blankets can be used to fix and seal your own custom acoustic set up in almost any space.
