Soundproofing a Room on a Budget

Do you have a basement, room, home theater or gym that needs sound proofing?
Don't want to spend a lot of money on acoustical panels?
Then you are in the right place.
Across from my husband drums,
on the wall, there are three ceiling panels, which are there to absorb the sound.
We actually have several of those on the wall around the drum set as well.
"Soundproofing basement ceilings is easy with ceiling tiles and panels that absorb up to 70% of the sound that strikes their surface.
Decorative ceiling tiles and panels can help with soundproofing basement ceilings for a home theater, game room, home gym, office or guest bedroom. Unlike drywall, the materials and manufacturing technology used in ceiling tiles and panels provide acoustical benefits that can make a big difference in the sound environment of a room."

We had those panels on the walls since we bought our home seven years ago.
They were originally white, then I painted them the same color of the walls
(to make them blend in)
and then I painted them blue
(to make them stand out)...
yes, I changed my mind a few times.
...I forgot, I also covered them with dropcloth remnants sew together and hot glued to the panels.
On my journey to change the feel of that space...without spending much money, I quickly realized how I really liked the back of those panels.
So that's what I did.
Turned the panels around.
