[TheForge] Acoustical baffling

[James Binnion]

	Fiber glass is good for absorption, our anechoic chamber used 
pyramids and wedges of fiber glass contained by wire mesh as the 
absorber. I would suggest sticking with fiberglass for home made 
absorption systems.

	If you are going to experiment with foam for absorption be 
very careful, most foams are very flammable. Remember that fire in 
the Rhode Island night club that killed so many people, it was so 
devastating because someone had put foam sound absorption material on 
the walls and ceiling. The stuff burns like gasoline once it gets 
started and puts off very poisonous fumes and smoke.

	There are some fire rated foams for sound absorption but they 
tend to be pricey.
