What materials are commonly used to make acoustic panels?

Common materials include foam, fabric, wood, and fiberglass. Each material has different sound absorption properties.

Where should I place acoustic panels in my room?

It's best to place them on walls where sound reflects, such as opposite speakers or in corners. The ceiling can also be treated.

Can I make my own acoustic panels?

Yes, you can! Many DIY enthusiasts use materials like foam or fabric over wooden frames to create effective acoustic panels.
