Noise Absorption - best approach?
I'm looking for ideas on how to cut down on the noise I experience in my workshop. Luckily the workshop does not permit much sound to escape, but it does have an echo that I would like to cut down in the most reasonable way possible.
The shop has concrete floors, a high ceiling, wooden garage door and drywall on wall and ceiling surfaces. There isnt much in the room aside from the machines (not anything really).
I placed hard rubber under the machinery and that helped eliminate any vibratory type noises.
Most noise comes from the bandsaw, dust collector and jointer/planer, not necessarily from actually planing wood (though I love that sound), but from running. They're not so much worrisome noises as I expect just normal noises being amplified by an echo
I've researched various ways of doing this, but being especially broke after recent purchases :D I'm curious to find an effective solution at a minimum of cost. Any thoughts are appreciated.
