The difference between sound dampening and soundproofing is that soundproofing makes your space impervious to sound. Sound is unable to enter or exit the space. However, soundproofing requires you to treat the walls within your space by inserting soundproofing materials inside the walls. This leads to high costs and invasive installation methods. On the other hand, sound dampening reduces the reverberation within a room. Dense material, such as felt, prevents the sound from continuing to vibrate within a space. When you place sound dampening materials in you room, whether on the walls or ceiling, you cultivate the quite atmosphere you need to record your dream projects.
