tapestries and posters help with sound absorption?


I have bare walls and wooden floors, and I sit about 6ft from my rig with my back against the wall. Would a tapestry directly behind me help with bright sound? what about a small carpet? I also get a lot of compressed foam posters from work, would those help? thanks for the help

GMC/Lugnut Thanks for the info. I am concerned too about airborne fiberglass fibers in the air and that's important in considering the material. I had built some room treatments in my last house with 2/4's and fiberglass insulation batts and noticed a lot of dust in the air.

For anyone interested I just ordered and have received plans for homegrown acoustic treatments from decware. Blueprints and have bought a LOT of MDF both 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. I'll let you know how it turns out. For the curious:

I have to say after reading the white papers I understand these issues more than I have in 20 years of "hobbying". It's time to get serious about acoustics-the level of equipment we have is not to be fully realized until you address your room and resonances in your equipment.
