Critical to the success of any quality soundproofing project is the need to first match the appropriate treatment to your application, and from that vantage point select the most appropriate set of acoustical products.    The most common mistake new customers make is to target product selection before the correct treatment is prescribed.    With a better understanding of sound wave behavior, the treatment options become more clear, which in turn will deliver a more accurate set of acoustical products and trigger a stronger soundproofing result.    Incorrect product selection is typically the result of an errant first step in miscalculating the soundproofing treatment.    This mistake can prove to be expensive, time consuming and produce inferior results.   eSoundControl will teach you about the behavior of a sound wave, help prescribe the appropriate treatment for your noise, and then introduce you to the correct acoustical product designed to deliver the most favorable results for you.    Learn what to do, and then how to do it.

 

 

The results drawn from your eBook were phenomenal.  Outstanding.  I knew I could expect some kind of result having agreed to spend the money, but I had no idea how well these panels would perform.   I would be happy to serve as a testimonial any time you need a reference.   The treatment worked, and we couldn’t be more pleased.   It was as if you converted a gymnasium into a living room.   Bob Ollman Ollman Construction Milwaukee, WI

Aiming for Better Control, Not a Cure….

The majority of all soundproofing applications are subjective treatments that target an acceptable “range” as a result, not a specific number.   Soundproofing is not brain surgery, where a miscalculation can prove deadly.    If your goal is to produce better sound comfort in a room, more protection against noise bleeding through common surfaces, or lower decibel level exposure for employees, sound proofing treatments can produce up to a 90% drop in the perceived problem.   Rarely if ever will a full treatment “cure” any noise issue.    There will always be echo in a room, there will always be noise bleeding through common walls, ceilings or floors, and there will always be noise in a factory.   But what if the level of noise was only 5-10% of what it once was?   For example, two gymnasiums of equal size both host a basketball game.   Both have received soundproofing treatments designed to control crowd noise.   The treatment in the first gym might absorb 90% of the sound reflections in the room, while the second gym might absorb 86% of the sound reflections in the room.    Both are acceptable treatments that performed to task, and delivered good results.    Would your human ear be able to detect the 4% difference between the two rooms?   No.   Your human ear would simply note that it sounds much better in both rooms.    eSoundControl will teach you how to gain more control over your sound environment by setting realistic and definable goals.    The soundproofing treatments prescribed, and the products that are showcased will then combine to deliver the results you seek.   eSoundControl will ease your worry over making a wrong product choice by helping you better define your treatment before you get started.

Take the Sound Smart test...

 

 

Following the introduction to our book, we challenge our readers with a short quiz designed to test your soundproofing knowledge.   How Sound Smart are you?  See how your score compares with your friends.  A sample question:
 

You’re at a party, and you can’t hear the person next to you talking, why not?

 

a.       Too many people talking at the same time

b.       The surfaces in the room are too reflective

c.       The person speaking isn’t talking loud enough

d.       George Clooney just walked into the room

 

Check Page 13 of your eBook for the answer.   There are dozens of questions like this that help provide the framework for the book’s contents.   Our goal is to help you better understand the art of sound control by removing the mystery behind it.   The text is delivered in a common language you will understand and relate to.

 

 

Before our installation, we could not speak in normal voices without listeners on the other side of these walls hearing everything that was said.   Through this eBook, NetWell gave us very good direction and a very good price.   We installed their panel system on top of our sheet rocked walls.   Very easy installation.   The difference has been obvious and tremendous.   Now we can interview without interruption from visitors and others working in the area, and are able to control information being shared by our staff.   Mark Henderson 78th Security Force Squadron Robins Air Force Base, GA

Controlling Your Noise and Your Pocketbook….

Acoustical consultants are a valuable asset to invest in should your sound control project be driven by litigation or OSHA pressure.    The majority of these consultants are well trained experts whose contributions are well worth their weight in gold when you need them.   Their ability to document your noise problem and generate reports designed to capture the results of your treatment can provide the documentation you need for litigation or OSHA purposes.

 

However, onsite testing and acoustical analysis can be very expensive.   The bulk of the sound proofing industry caters to those who suffer from nuisance noise.    Poor quality acoustics in a gymnasium, sanctuary, industrial plant, office, fellowship hall, cafeteria, home theater or classroom setting are typically not driven by legal pressures.   By nuisance noise we mean any noise that is not tied to legal precedent.   These noisy venues can be just as deafening, but treatable at a lower price.

 

The primary emphasis in most venues is to deliver better sound clarity, confidentiality or hearing protection.    The majority of these treatments do not need reports generated from expensive onsite personnel, if the client knew what to do and how to do it.   More often than not, these reports are nothing more than a costly exercise in reassurance that eSoundControl can now help you erase.

 

Noise reduction treatments can be performed at a lower cost if the client had a better understanding of what steps to take and what products to work with. eSoundControl was built to fill the knowledge gap that exists between the industry experts and those who suffer from nuisance noise.   High priced consultants can be worth their weight in gold when you need them.   Otherwise, let eSoundControl show you how to control your noise and control your costs.

 

 

Our NetWell installation was completed slightly over a month ago and our members could not have been more pleased.   Even our worst critics nominated my wife and I for a letter of appreciation for finding the solution to our sound control problem.   We thank you very much for your help, and Baylake United Methodist Church thanks you for solving our problem.   William Waller Baylake United Methodist Church

 

 

 

Selecting a Good Supplier….       With the advent of the internet, there is an explosion of ecommerce business, and the sound control industry is not immune to this trend.    There are a multitude of acoustical suppliers posting their ads for you to google and click open.    Some are good and reliable resources, some are not.   To the unsuspecting prospect with a noise problem, googling for help can become mind bending.   The key to a successful soundproofing treatment rests with your biggest decision:  who to buy product from.   In today’s economy, anyone with a computer and some know-how can build a website, attract clients through a google Adwords program, and showcase a storefront of sound control products to pose as an expert.    If you’ve done any googling in this industry, you’ll note that the majority of suppliers are simply listing products for you to buy.     There is little if any education on the art of soundproofing, the treatment options that are available to you, and the steps you need to take to combat your noise.   These resources are acceptable for those buyers who are industry experts, but 90% of those seeking help are new to the art of sound control and unsure as to how to proceed.     Imagine sending a grade school child into an auto parts store, and having the store owner stand at the cash register waiting to ring up the sale.   This is the equal to the majority of online acoustical suppliers.   Products are listed, but treatments remain undefined.   eSoundControl will bridge this knowledge gap and help you select the appropriate products from quality suppliers that can help diagnose your treatment.

Meet the Author     My name is Mark Rustad.   I am the President of NetWell Noise Control based in Minneapolis, MN.   Over the past 20 years I have witnessed the transformation of the soundproofing industry from an “experts only” roundtable of acoustical consultants and sound & video contractors, to a google driven world filled with streams of daily online shoppers seeking to control both their noise and their pocketbook.    The art of soundproofing has shifted from expensive onsite experts to your mouse pad.     This isn’t a bad thing if you know what you’re doing, but can prove costly if you don’t.   The majority of today’s online “sound store” websites look like Walmart shelves stocked with acoustical products.   These sites expect you to click them open, make product selections and buy material.    What they don’t tell you is how to solve your sound problem.   The good news is there is so much more to select from today than 20 years ago.  The bad news is that most of the googling public doesn’t know what to do, or how to do it.   This gap in acoustical knowledge is why I wrote eSoundControl.   This best selling eBook is the only “how-to” manual of its kind on the market.   With this simple download, our goals are mutual:      Save on your acoustical consulting fees; Target accurate soundproofing treatments; Select accurate acoustical products                Deliver the acoustic results you seek     This $35 knowledge download can save you potentially thousands of dollars on expensive consulting fees, and incorrect product purchases.    The $35 will be returned to you as a credit against any purchase of any acoustical material found at www.eSoundproof.com, guaranteed.   We look forward to working with you and hope you enjoy the book!
