How a Sound Diffuser WorksĪ diffuser is designed based on a mathematical formula involving prime numbers. Diffusers are a great addition to any room to improve sound and control resonance concerns. They can be mounted on walls opposite speakers and even on ceilings. It can even make a small room seem large. To help give sound life in a room a diffuser absorbs some sound, but treats echo and scatters resonance around a room, bringing it to life, just like nature does. A diffuser also helps with standing wave build up and comb filtering and can be designed to address any frequency spectrum from a very low range to the high range. It allows for a more natural softening and termination of sound reverberation, so a room doesn’t feel devoid of sound life.
The different surface heights of a diffuser are designed so that a sound wave from any direction will hit and deflect evenly in multiple directions. We can hear a songbird from 100 yards or more away without ever seeing it, yet with all the bounce and reverberation, we can often identify the species, direction, and distance. Our ears pick up sound waves that have been reflected off numerous surfaces, like trees, rocks, and even buildings.

I put together this list of 16 DIY sound diffuser panels together, along with free plans, to help you and some friends out. You can spend hundreds of dollars on diffusers, or you can make DIY sound diffusers for a whole lot less. While deaden some sound has merit, it makes the harmonics sterile or off. They are so busy absorbing sound, echo, and trapping base noise in their games or media rooms, and elsewhere that they often make it worse. Many of my friends are spending big money on soundproofing when a DIY sound diffuser would be better.
