For the final part of the sound project, we invited people from the Teen Center and the community to decorate foam acoustic panels with fabric to reduce noise in the homework room in a personalized, beautiful way! First we did some testing to get "before" conditions for the homework room. We created the "mini rooms" to model with and without sound panels and compared using speakers, various sound meters on phones, and even our heads. Next we used a sound meter to test sound levels in the homework room in a variety of conditions including silence, small talk, music playing, someone singing or yelling, and a frequency sweep. We also considered whether the sound was coming from inside or outside of the homework room. Creating the acoustic panels...so far we've made over 30!
