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?

Oh, not just that, but blankets and pillows also work the same way.

What I do believe is that you need a certain minimum critical mass.  You can't take 2 panels and hope to hear much. If you experiment, start out with 6 or more blankets/panels. :)

And don't forget the floor behind/between speakers.

Best,
