A Case for Soundproofing Your Game Room

When you begin dreaming up a game room for your home, chances are you'll probably start out thinking big instead of considering some very important specifics. One of the most overlooked details that people regret not considering before installing loud entertainment systems and noisy arcade games is sufficient soundproofing. Like any exciting activity, table shuffleboard tends to spark raucous cheering, laughter, and playful fighting among participants. And, although no louder than many standard arcade games, the weights used on your shuffleboard aren't soundproof when they are lagged down the main alley of the table. McClure shuffleboard tables are crafted out of the finest quality Michigan Maple, which means these tables are extremely durable and will last your family through many exciting shuffleboard matches. Maple, however, is known for its acoustic quality, as it is used to make fine instruments like violins and pianos, so the noise of the gameplay may need to be deadened if your game room is located near someone's bedroom.

Several easy solutions to all of this will make your game room a wonderful place without annoying people in other parts of the house. First of all, you can employ sound-dampening tiles on the flooring in your game room that will absorb acoustic reverberations. These kinds of tiles can be store-bought, state-of-the-art equipment, or simple, thick foam squares that you can purchase on the cheap. If you already have a well-carpeted space to set up your game room, you can improve the space's acoustics by going crazy with wall hangings. One solution, whether you have windows in the space or not, is to hang heavy drapes along the walls at various points to help trap loud noise. By making sure your game room is soundproof, you can get as rowdy as you like.
