Experiment question about sound treatment project


I'm considering making a few sound absorbing panels for my space.

To avoid the trouble of making the panels and finding out they don't help, could I simply hang pieces of the inner absorbent material to test out possible pact? If they work, I'll finish them, if not, labor saved.

Thoughts?

Thanks, MC. I don't think I had a link to that older webpage and I appreciate getting your reading list. Some reading to do!

I also appreciate seeing the ceiling and corner treatments. I don't have a dedicated listening room, so I probably won't go to the lengths you did until I do. Still, they're good reminders that reflections can and do come from anywhere.

@ebm Are you saying it's not worth doing the experiment above? That I should just go straight to buying expensive panels? Can you say more why?
Might want to check out ATS Acoustics. they sell factory made panels and supplies for DIY. You can send them pictures and have them put on to fabric for decorative panels. Vey helpful people. Have a nice website.
I purchased Roxul Rockboard  60 2", 2'x4' sheets, and made my own panels. Likely can find that locally.
