I need some Sound Deadening Advice, on which type of product/s to use. Because I live in New Zealand. And might not be able to find specific Brand Names. Could you please reccommend more generic names? EG MDF, Acrylic etc etc
I am slowly getting the enclosure built for my 1F setup, using a 🌀 PwnCNC Spindle System . I am about to line the walls & ceiling of the enclosure. AND am undecided about which type of material would best easily reduce the noise the spindle makes when cutting wood. The floor is made of Fire Stop Door Panels. Which is Heavy & stable.
Whilst I have seen one video with Daniel demonstrating a Spindle rotating at high speed. It didn’t have a bit in it & therefore wasn’t cutting wood. Making any noise measurement pointless for my purposes.
Dynomat… if it’s good enough for car steteo, should be good enough for spindle cutting. Anything else i think would add to the size of the enclosure
agreed. I’ve tried using in in my car. Noting that the batch I bought wasn’t great. The backing paper kept pullling the black sticky rubber with it. SO I had to use an alternative ( SIless ) which was easier & better to apply.
Sorry, I haven’t had that issue before… in a car or enclosure…
because at some point the enclosure becomes the building its in, and that’s the situation I’m in. I also don’t agree with noise suppression because it is how I know what it’s doing and if it’s in trouble when I’m chasing other squirrels in the shop.
I think foam egg crate can be another option, they use it in sound studios ( Amazon.com : egg foam soundproofing). granted the stuff their using is probably supper dense rubber like and not the same as a bed padding (thats what I used it for camping). I think maximizing the surface area is what ultimately mutes the sound.
My shop was supper echo-y. adding rubber mats on the floor really brought the decibel/echo level down! I’m glad I did the whole (95% of it at least) instead of following other advice here (Anti fatigue mats). I’m sure if you can figure out how to hang it, you can use the same rubber mats, or like, I got
To kill sound, you need MASS. There’s no way around it. You can tame it down with expensive panels or foam, but you’ll get about the same result as using whatever common materials that you may already have laying around. Spend you hard earned money on a nice set of over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones instead.
