Egg carton for soundproofing? -Acoustics Forum-Acoustic Fields Forum

Why can’t we use egg carton as soundproofing foam is a fairly often asked issue. Because of their shape and composition, egg cartons have a theoretically proven ability to act as sound absorbers. The egg carton’s jagged design scatters and deflects sound waves, which lessens echo and reduce the sound to certain frequencies. This soundproofing technique is just temporary and may not always yield the desired results. You can choose this for short-term use. However, it is always advised to purchase soundproofing items or materials from the market to achieve the necessary sound reduction coefficients, which vary depending on the material and thickness.

Egg cartons are inexpensive, easy to install and can be used to some extent for your studios and rooms.
