Incessant Rambling Nonsense
...the story, and the choices, or what have you, and therefore by becoming it is! So on and so forth, until inevitably, we all until the end of time. At which time, everything all at once, so now you see? Blah, blah, blah, rah, rah, rah... We've eaten too much and it can't be just yet. No, no! Until two-hundred and forty-five! But the logic of elimination, working backwards, the deduction therefore becomes impossible to manufacture. It went on for nearly ten thousand years, until just yesterday. Here and there, forward and back, and never a moment before lunchtime. It can't be! It's the only thing there is! How many billions left until so much more than forever ago! Which is why I say...
"The work we do here is both mysterious and important."

Sound Proofing
Quieter Living for the Community
In a world where something is always happening, noise is everywhere. Inside your home, outside, on the go, in the workplace. If you can name a place, you can bet something noisy is happening. With all this noise, how can one expect to focus on anything? Well, a solution exists. In fact, it’s very likely being used in your walls at this very moment!
Experiment
Using a variety of materials, we cut them into 1x1 squares and placed them each at an equal distance from a speaker. We tested two frequencies from each frequency range: High, Mid, and Low — and we measure each material’s properties.
Materials
- Foam
- Felt
- Styrofoam
- Speaker
- Sound / Decibel Meter
What did we learn?
Foam
- More Absorbant than Insulating
- Absorbs little amounts of High frequencies
- Little to no absorbtion in Mid-Low frequencies
- Would benefit from thickness and density
- In practical use, leaves an unideal dead, boomy sound
Felt/Polyester Fiber
- More insulating than Absorbing
- Absorbs High Frequencies
- Reflects higher mid
- Little to no effect on low/bass frequencies
- Effective in isolating sound
Styrofoam
- Little to no absorbtion at all
- Reflects sound
- Boomy and Loud
- Why was this an option?
- Better for thermal insulation
How Does this benefit the community?
Well, what does a community need? What does a community have? Communities have families. They have children, they have parents, they have workers, they have vehicles, they have sound. Lots of it. In a home full of children, you may want to keep all that sound inside the house. Many houses come equipped with insulation already, a thick mineral wool inside the walls. This is meant to do just that. You can enhance this by adding your own materials to the walls. Something that’s good at isolating and absorbing sound. In this case, you would look for something dense and porous, which can trap and contain sound. Or maybe you just want to keep all that racket out of your own room. Try something that insulates sound and line the outside of our room instead. The sound will either reflect off the panel or be absorbed by it, keeping the sound out of your room.
