    fiberglass pink vs roxul safe 'n sound for room treatments

    I'm thinking about some room treatments, and see alot of threads and instructional videos
    Learn to make your own SUPER EFFECTIVE bass traps and acoustic panels with materials from your local hardware store.

    for DIY traps, but alot of them are made using pink fiberglass insulation. would it make more sense to use roxul soundproofing insulation in these traps instead of "thermal" fiberglass insulation?

      Everyone: please open Thomas' link - I'd forgotten about it - there's a wealth of info on acoustic materials there. Scroll down to the bottom for LOTS more useful links.
      You ARE budgeting some of your HT/listening room money for room treatments, aren't you? Huh?
