Dear Judges

My name is Tyler Woodruff, and I chose soundproofing as a topic for my senior project. For many years now I have played assorted musical instruments. However, these instruments have caused me the same problem of being too loud for the people around me. So when i had the chance to do something about this problem I jumped right on it. Because building an entire soundproof room would be too expensive, I decided that for my senior project i was going to text which soundproofing materials were the best to use for the best price.

Through my research I learned a lot about soundproofing and how sound works. I learned about how sound is measured and all of the different types of measurements that are used. This information helped me figure out the best designs to use for my project. My product was an acrylic box that surrounded a speaker box and it worked to dampen the sound a little. There were many obstacles to overcome in my project; however, the biggest one would probably be trying to figure out how to seal the box correctly.

My project helped me learn a lot about being a sound or acoustics engineer. With my research i learned all about how a sound or acoustics engineer would go about solving specific problems. I also learned about many different things they study. This project also helped me learn that i really like to field of acoustic engineering. I also learned that I have a strong desire to work hard towards anything to do with sound.

I think that the senior project helped me a lot in the way of finding out how my job later in life will go. This project was a great procedure for me to go through in order to get me ready for the challenges that await me in the future. Thank you for your time.

Sincerly

Tyler Woodruff
