Sound Dampening Test Report
Objective:
To evaluate the sound dampening capability of the DreamWall 25-Inch Divider when placed on a queen-sized mattress setup.
Methodology:
- Setup: The divider was positioned between two pillows on a queen mattress with a standard headboard.
- Equipment: Microphones were placed equidistant on either side of the divider to measure sound levels.
- Procedure:
- Conducted four sound phases with the divider in place.
- Recorded and averaged the sound levels.
- Removed the divider and repeated the tests with microphones remaining in the same positions.
Results:
- With the divider in place, sound levels were reduced by an average of 20%.
- When the divider was removed, sound levels increased by the same percentage, confirming its dampening effect.
Conclusion:
While these results were gathered through internal testing and not independently validated, they suggest that the DreamWall 25-Inch Divider offers sound-dampening benefits in addition to its primary function of creating a private sleeping space. We plan for further independent testing to explore this feature in more detail.
