Plans for office sound treatment
Guest 2
or more a couple
Guest 1
I'm going to make and provide some helpful tips rid. Along the way, we are sponsored today by 3 awesome companies, Sanity, Structured Content, CMS, Log, Rocket. They do JavaScript session replay, and Magic Bell
Guest 1
Yeah. I
Guest 1
pretty much the ones that you have, which is like a 6 inch rid. Or 3 inch rockwool with a frame and then some fabric around it. I just need to find, like, fabric that looks decent.
Guest 2
Yes. The the the foam isn't nearly high density enough. And, I'm curious.
Guest 1
but sound. So you got you have those corner ones. Right? Like, I've been thinking, like, oh, I should do a couple corner ones. And then, like, maybe the corner ones. Yeah.
Guest 2
Yeah. Yeah. They're you could just buy them on Amazon, and and they don't do much. I they're actually, Wes, I'm gonna tell you straight up. They don't don't look like anything. Not that they do much. They don't do anything. Yep. The frequency response, it's
Guest 2
sound waves.
Guest 1
Yeah. So I think Kind of same thing that you did is just get a bunch of those panels.
Guest 2
so I don't wanna just, like, throw up something that doesn't doesn't totally fit the room. Also yep. I'm gonna say, even if you do with something that, like, go with something purposefully that does look nice, I think you should at least build yeah, you're gonna want something
Guest 2
than 1 1 or 2 of these rock wool panels with the the thing because There's really nothing quite like the amount of sound that this stuff soaks up. Oh, yeah.
Guest 2
more and stand there with the kids while some of the other kids were screaming and yelling for their parents and, like, What are you going to do for sound treatments?
Scott's sound panels
Guest 1
and it's it's gonna be my my not my set, but, like, it looks decent on camera. Not yet. I haven't got my camera hooked up. But, like, in front of me, I don't really rid care. And is that what you have? Yep. So behind me is what's import or in front of me, and this is what's important. So I have, Better overkill than underkill in the audio. You do have 1 on the roof as well or the ceiling? Yeah. Okay. Because I don't I don't have the height
Guest 2
To 1 directly on each side of my ears here and then another set right in front, and then I have 2 on the ceiling, and then I have 4 in the corners, and then I have a massive one directly in front of me,
Guest 1
This behind me
Guest 2
Oh. They go from the floor all the way to the top in front of me, rid. Because when I'm talking, I want that audio to just get
Guest 1
filled my office with it. It's It's amazing. Now, like, when I had it totally insulated, it was so nice to be in here. And now, now that I drywalled it, it's like an echoey again.
First day of kindergarten
Guest 2

Guest 2

Guest 1
for us, but I'm excited that it went well for you. I'm I'm here in my new office, so please excuse the echo. Rid.
Guest 2

Guest 1
Welcome to syntax, the podcast with tastiest web development treats rid out there. Today, we've got a syntax highlight for you. This is where
Guest 1
and tell you what we think. We get a lot of questions about, like,
Construction of panels
Guest 2
2 by 4 studs. So it would make sense. Yeah. So they're not 2 by rid They're, like, laminated, I'll take some pictures for you. Yeah. I'll love to do it. Rid. I need to you're
Guest 1
do a break. That going. Cool. Well, let's get on into the syntax highlight. We'll we'll have a whole show on Soundproofing and noise cancellation and all that stuff. But let's get into these.
Guest 2
to, whatever, but it's probably a 2 by 4 size. Yeah. Yeah. Because they you do they're not heavy. Yeah. Like a laminate. Like a like a plywood, right? Yes, correct. Yeah. Oh, maybe I should use that.
Wes' new echoey office
Guest 1
I just moved in last night, rid here's my portfolio. What do you think? Or, I'm just like, I've applied for 30 jobs, and and I can't get anything from it. And and, like, what's the issue. And what do you think about my presence? So we go through these and sort of, like, critique, say what we do like, what we don't like, trapped. I want it to stop. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's that's the thing is that, like, I have Yeah. I don't I don't wanna get the, like, gamer panels because, like, that looks awful. It's They don't do anything. Not the vibe? I've been looking at them and, like, The hard thing is that I don't want it to look like garbage.
Guest 1
I have no sound Mints in the office at all aside from a rug, so it's gonna sound very appealing here. Cavernous is is the word. Yes. Exactly.
More on Scott's panels
Guest 1
really for that. I guess I could put it over my desk, but then that would block the lights. Like, I'm in the I'm in the basement here, so I only have rid. 7, 7 and a half feet, and you're taking, what, 6 inches? How how deep are they? Three or 6 inches? These are about I would say they're about 3 inches. Yeah. Okay. I have one that's Six inches, but not the roof ones. It's probably a I've also been looking at these, like, pressed felt panels. Rid those look really cool. I like that look a lot,
Guest 1
just a 2 by 4 on its side, which is 3 and a half inches. Rid. Yeah. That's probably what it is because because the rock wall is made to be put into
Guest 2
that you you won't be able to see behind my camera here. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. It's a bit overkill for my space, but Yeah.
