Introduction
Some people say that you should never leave home without a pen, or your phone charger, or a turtleneck. I say that you should never leave home without some sound dampening foam. In fact, no matter who you are—an aspiring DIY-er or an experienced jack of all trades—you’ll find yourself in need of this versatile material. So what is it? Sound dampening foam is designed to absorb unwanted noise and reverberation from various surfaces like walls and floors. It’s made from open cell polyurethane acoustic foam and if that means nothing to you, don’t worry: all it really means is that the foam can be cut into any shape necessary for whatever projects you have going on. Also, it looks really cool because its wavy design creates lots of little nooks for sound to get trapped inside before being absorbed by the surrounding air (and trust me—that makes your eardrums happy). Here are some fun projects you can do with sound dampening foam!
Hey I Just Met You, And This Is Crazy, But Would You Like Some Sound Dampening Foam?
Sound dampening foam is a great thing to have around. It can be used for a lot of things, including making your own headphones, dampening the noise from pipes banging against your wall, and insulating against sound.
It’s important that you know how to use sound dampening foam because it can help you make more money by selling your items on eBay or Amazon. If you want to get started selling stuff online then check out this article about how I made $100 with my first product on Amazon!
It doesn’t make a difference if you are a beginner or an expert in DIY projects.
Sound dampening foam is useful for a wide range of projects and applications. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an expert in DIY projects, sound dampening foam can be used to help you complete your next project.
Sound dampening foam is flexible and easy to cut, so it’s great for beginners who might not have access to the right tools or know how to use them correctly. If you’re an experienced do-it-yourselfer, then sound dampening foam will make your high-quality project even better by reducing the noise coming from inside or outside your house.
It is always useful to have some sound dampening foam lying around.
Sound dampening foam is a great thing to have around the house. It can be used for all kinds of projects, including:
- Making a custom shaped box for your speaker, microphone or computer
- Dampening noise in an area
- Creating headphones with custom fit earpieces
Here are some uses that you may find yourself in need of:
- Make your own headphones.
- Buffer the noise from a pipe banging against your wall.
- Create a custom shaped box for whatever you want to put inside (like an amplifier).
To make your own headphones
Another option for DIYers is to use the foam in a custom shape box for your headphones. This will increase the sound quality and make it more comfortable to wear.
To do this, you will need some wire cutters and scissors to cut out your desired shape from the foam. You can then cover that shape with fabric or other materials of your choice and glue it onto a plain piece of cardboard or wood that has been wrapped in felt or suede (to give it a nice finish). Then all you need is some Velcro strips at either end so that when you put the headphones on, they’ll stay in place!
To buffer the noise from a pipe banging against your wall
Sound dampening foam is an efficient way to block the sound from a pipe banging against your wall. You can use soundproof foam for any project that requires reducing sound, such as building a speaker box or creating a microphone stand.

To create a custom shaped box for whatever you want to put inside
To create a custom shaped box for whatever you want to put inside, cut the foam board into any shape you like. Make sure it is the right size to fit whatever you want to put inside of it. If you want a box with a lid, use duct tape or hot glue to attach two pieces of foam board together at their edges and then secure them over your object using more duct tape or hot glue. To create a box with a lid and hinge, cut out two identical shapes from the foam boards and secure them together by folding them backwards like an accordion (this makes for easier folding later). Then cover both sides with duct tape until they’re sturdy enough not to collapse on themselves when opened up or closed again (you could also use hot glue instead if that’s easier). Next, fold one side back so that it becomes half its original size in width but retains its original depth lengthwise; then repeat this step on each end until all four sides have been folded back onto themselves so they look like book covers now instead of squares made out of cardboard sheets! Finally add hinges so that when opened up fully again everything looks normal except now there are gaps where once there were edges before being folded over onto itself twice more times apiece throughout both sides’ lengths respectively
Don’t leave home without it!
Sound dampening foam isn’t just for recording studios, it has a multitude of uses. Sound dampening foams can be used in:
- Loft insulation
- Modular furniture
- Porch flooring (for under your deck or patio)
Sound proofing is not possible on its own but sound dampening foam can help reduce the amount of noise that travels through walls and floors by up to 50dB.
Conclusion
So you see, there is a lot of ways that sound dampening foam can be useful to you. Whether it’s your dream to make your own headphones, or you just want to make sure your plumbing doesn’t wake up the whole house, we gotcha covered. Hope this blog helped!
