Introduction

Sound dampening foam is great for absorbing sound, specifically in recording studios. However, it is really expensive to buy, and there are a lot of materials you can use to make your own! Some people may just want to make their own because they like the activity and don’t mind how long it takes. Others may want to make their own because they need a lot of sound foam for a special project and might not have time or money to get it elsewhere. It’s easy with the right tools and materials. So follow these instructions carefully:

Step 1: gather your materials

• Get a pair of scissors and a ruler.
• Now go to the nearest store and buy some tissue paper!

Step 2: make some cuts

You’ll need to cut the foam to size. I’ve found that it’s best to have the sound absorbing material fit over the speaker on each side, so it doesn’t affect how well your speakers work. If you’re using a laptop or monitor as your sound source, make sure you leave some room for cables since they won’t fit through the holes in front of them once everything is assembled together.

I recommend cutting an inch off of all sides of your foam and leaving it at that rather than adding more if needed later on (unless you really want your speakers covered up).

Step 3: beat it up a little bit

• Use a hammer to beat on the foam
• Use a rolling pin to flatten the foam.
• Use a knife to cut into the foam.
• Or try out an electric knife if you have one, that’ll do the trick too!

Step 4: add the glue

Now it’s time to add some glue to the foam. This is the most important step in making sure that your sound absorbing foam works properly, so don’t skip it!

The first thing you’ll want to do is mix up some water and white glue in a separate container. We recommend using wood glue (the kind with no harmful chemicals), but any white glue will work as well. You can also use hot glue if you’re feeling crafty!

Once your ingredients are all mixed together, transfer them into your bowl of dried-out rice or beans and give them a quick stir until they are fully incorporated into each other. If there are still chunks at this point then be sure not to move them around too much—you don’t want those chunks getting stuck inside when they dry out later down the road! With that said though…don’t worry too much about having perfect consistency here; sometimes imperfection makes things more fun! Just remember: if one part looks different than another then chances are good that part won’t end up being very effective at absorbing sound waves either; so keep mixing until everything looks homogeneous throughout your batch before moving on from this step altogether.*Note: If desired add more food coloring now before moving on with next step otherwise leave black/white coloration alone for now because we will revisit this later after drying occurs overnight.*

Step 5 (optional): Add some colors or design to it, if you want to.

Now, you can add some colors or design to it if you want to. You can use permanent markers, paint, stickers and any other thing that comes to mind. You can be creative and do whatever comes into your mind! The possibilities are endless! It will all depend on what kind of sound absorbing foam you’re making; some may require a little more work than others but in the end they will all look great when finished

You’ll have a sound absorbing foam in no time at all!

You can make your own sound absorbing foam in no time at all! All you need are some easily accessible materials and a bit of time.

Conclusion

When you’re finished, you’ll have a nice piece of sound absorbing foam that can be easily added to any room in your house! This post shows how simple it really is to make something like this from scratch using only things around the house or easily accessible materials. You might even want to try adding some colors or design elements (like highlighters) so that it matches your decor perfectly!
