HELP! I need to reduce hammering Noise!!!

stakes- I think they're called industrial lift magnets. They deaden the
sound a good bit- lots less of the high ping.

in Barrie, Ont., And we also have a program here dealing with jewellery and
metalsmithing. We have, what I feel, is the ideal setting for our studio -
ground floor, in our own building with only the fine arts students to share
with us at the other end of the building. It is unfortunate that your studio
is higher up.
The rubber sounds like a good idea, but perhaps laying down soundproofing
panels on the floor first would help. I'm thinking along the lines of the
corkboard-type stuff that you can tack up anywhere. Use it like a type of
sub-flooring, and then perhaps thick rubber pads on top.
I thought of something else too, but I dont know how well it would work if
you have a torch set up in this studio as well. You know the industrial egg
crate dividers? They're square, and can hold 3 dozen on a flat. These are
the greatest, cheapest way to soundproof a room ( albeit, not the most
attractive ). Just get a whole bunch from the food service area at the U.,
or canvass your students who may have part-time jobs in the food industry. I
have had friends with small bands use this to soundproof a jamming area, and
it works wonderfully.
Silly ideas, but this is all I could think of to help. Hope things work out
for you.

P.S. The ultimate, of course, would be to contact Don Stuart or Greg Merral
and plan to come up to Georgian College to see our set up some time in the
near future. We just had our area redone last year, and the outcome was
quite impressive. You should come and take a look, and then take this back
to your board at the U., and see about the possibility of creating a
similiar area for your students.

Monk, try ear plugs? Musicians attempting to avoid tinnitus use special ones
that are really good.

very subject about one month ago. A number of simple and useful solutions
were suggested and used to suppress noise (mostly on anvils). Check it out.

Before you buy.

They look and feel like the foam kind sold in drugstores which block noise to
about 29 or 30 decibles, but block more noise, and are sold through music
supply shopes.
If that is not sufficient, any audiologist can make a mold of your ears and
from them make custom ear plugs.
