Question 1

Would these help reduce noise from my electric drums escaping my garden room?

Accepted Answer

no, will have very little effect. what i would do would depend on the construction of the garden room. if single skinned and stud work visible in inside i would put whats called rockwool to fill voids flush with outer edge of studs. then screw soundblock plasterboard to the studs covering whole walls. then add another layer of soundblock blasterboard but use a sound absorbing adhesive to glue this layer to the first layer and offset the sheets so the joints are not in line with each other. not cheap but would work for most of the higher frequencies, (drums are extremely loud ) then I would add these foam panels to reduced the reflected sound in the room, which will make being in the room more ear friendly. if double skinned basically same idea but you'd want to add a stud work structure to the inner to do as outlined above. if room is double skinned if it was insulated that would also help attenuate the sound. the more expensive solution is as above, but to then build a room within a room, which will get rid of some of the lower frequencies, but only to the point of the frequency length above the distance between the inner and out walls.

Question 2

Will this stick to emulsion paint and stay in place?

Accepted Answer

Hi, it all depends on  what you use to stick them to the wall. We found sticking anything to the foam difficult and opted to use foam friendly spray glue to attach the tiles to cardboard and then used command velcro pads to stick the cardboard to the wall. After four weeks they remain on the wall so this would be my recommendation.

Question 3

Can these be cut to fit?

Accepted Answer

Easily cut with scissors, there just dense foam

Question 4

Can I use these to line a cardboard box & place my mic in it to reduce echo when doing close up vocals rather than buying a ready made mic shield box.

Accepted Answer

Yes I would have thought so.
