(loud clapping)
- Probably shouldn't be tearing it apart.
But here I am.
Okay, so this is how this is supposed to work.
(tape rewinding)
We got a special delivery today.
These are sound management solutions
by a company called Audimute.
These boxes,
one, two, three, four, five.
Five boxes right here cost me $1300
which is an insane amount.
- For things that you put on the wall.
- We're just gonna put 'em on the wall.
Inside of our studio,
we've been filming a few videos in there.
We filmed the marshmallow video,
- When you're at home
and you don't really have that much to do,
you just eat some food.
- The Twinkie video.
The old one from 2012, this is the new one.
And the audio, there's just an echo.
It just doesn't sound the way that I want it to be.
Even though we put sound deafening stuff
on one of the walls.
This is the studio.
We've got all the lights up,
we got the blinds or the shades shut right there.
All the lights.
We got this camera here and this camera here.
Lets go ahead and turn it on.
(upbeat music)
All right, you're rolling right there Lincoln.
You're rolling right there.
First I should say,
this is the wall that we're gonna do it on.
Right here, all the way up to the top
over and then down this.
Then, some on this wall right here.
We already have this whole wall
that we put the little tiny squares.
But I don't know how effective they are.
We have this rug right here,
this carpet that helps.
But this carpet doesn't cover the corner,
so I think there might be sound
getting lost there.
Anyway, sound management is a really tricky thing
we're learning as YouTubers.
We're not very good at managing it.
So let's see if spending some money on these fancy things.
This video is no way sponsored by this company,
whatever this company is.
Let's switch cameras.
Oh, hey.
Hi, now you're on that camera.
This is not a sponsored video.
We paid for this and so if this stuff works,
we're gonna give 'em credit.
And if this stuff doesn't work,
- Sorry.
- Then don't go spend $1300 on this place.
Listen to the echo.
- Echo.
- Clappy clap.
(loud clapping)
You've gotta say something too
a saying that we can say both times.
- Echo.
- Do the welcome back to What's Inside, how bout that?
- Welcome back to What's Inside, I'm Lincoln.
This is Dan, and today we have sound dampening walls.
- Can you remember to say that later?
- Welcome back to What's Inside, I'm Lincoln.
- Now maybe I should say something.
I like poop emojis.
Before I ordered it all,
I made this really fancy diagram
of the wall.
Super scientific and everything should line up perfectly.
Go see what's next.
Time to get to work.
(upbeat music)
(record scratching)
Hey, that doesn't look gray.
It's supposed to be gray.
Does that look gray to you?
- No, it's like a blue-ish.
- [Dan] I'm pretty sure I ordered gray.
This is supposed to be gray.
It's supposed to look just like this right here.
(scratching)
That's what it's supposed to look like.
This is what it looks like.
- [Lincoln] That's not good.
- [Dan] Oh my gosh, it's green.
It's almost green.
Put it up on the wall and let's see what happens.
I mean, it's not bad.
- It's not good.
- [Dan] I don't know if you can return these.
- Really?
- We're on the website right now.
- [Lincoln] This is the correct one.
- Look at the color.
These are all the options here.
We've got all these.
This is the one we chose.
- [Lincoln] No, that's a lot grayer.
- [Dan] It's so much greener.
I don't know if you can see that on camera.
It's so green.
- It looks green.
Should we get mom's professional opinion?
- [Dan] Hey, we need your help.
Remember those sound proofing things we bought?
They're finally here.
- Oh nice, are they attractive?
- [Dan] Not as attractive as you.
- Stop it, I just woke up.
Oh no, that's not bad.
That's not bad, that's great.
- [Dan] Is it?
- Yeah, I mean,
- [Dan] Is that what you're expecting?
- I want it to work for you,
so I'm happy with it.
That feels more flex than I thought.
- [Dan] It looks green to me.
It doesn't look gray,
we ordered the gray one.
- I agree, there definitely is a green undertone.
- [Dan] Look at the blue couch, look at the carpet.
Look at that.
- I know, I kind of noticed it
but we don't have another option
so I didn't wanna say anything.
- [Dan] Look at the blue of our What's Inside color
and then look at that.
It totally clashes.
It's not really gray, it's green.
- It's not green, it's gray with a green undertone.
Let me put it out here.
Oh, it is green.
- [Dan] It's $1300 for this stuff.
(playful music)
- I think we need to send it back.
- We gotta return these things.
This video will continue as soon as they email us
and we figure out what's going down.
Audiomute or whatever it is,
help us out here.
Let's see what happens.
It has been a week and a half since our last time
we talked to you about the fabric.
I emailed the company and they were actually
really, really nice.
Maybe because they say that we had the YouTube name on there
and they're like, oh they might make a YouTube video on this
or maybe they're just really nice and they felt really bad
that it looked green.
They did tell me that no other customer
has ever said that it looks like
it has a green tint.
When I looked at it on camera,
it did look gray ish,
but it did have a green hue to it,
especially with all the blue that we have in here.
They sent out some fabric samples,
which I should've done from the beginning.
I got the top interior design in Southern Utah
- Stop it.
- [Dan] Leslie. - No, I'm not.
- [Dan] Set some of them out.
- I know what I want already.
- [Dan] You do? Okay, let's hear it.
- I want just plain white, one of these.
Alaska, that's where I'm from.
- [Dan] That's your rival, you're from Fairbanks.
- I know but still, it's in my state.
- My initial thought is, I don't want white.
- Noted. - [Dan] Or green.
This one right here is the asteroid.
This is the one that looked green to us.
It is somewhat gray.
Quarry blue, la bise, slight, onyx, graphite,
waterfall, cobalt.
All right, obviously we ordered this one
and we didn't like it.
Let's get rid of that.
Late 2017, I still don't like it.
- Graphite, I don't think we need that.
- [Dan] Whoa, that is kind of cool.
- This one, no.
- I do like blue, but that is a bit too bright.
(sneezes)
We have five options here right now.
Let's bring in the expert.
(tape fast forwarding)
- Hi - [Dan] Hi.
What are you up to?
- I'm playing Fortnite.
- [Dan] Let's see it.
Lincoln's gaming channel, right here.
This is it.
Watch him, this is gonna be an epic shot right here.
- [Lincoln] What, I just warped through the wall.
- [Dan] Oh, the helicopter.
- [Lincoln] Wait for me, wait for me.
- [Dan] Who are you playing with?
- I'm playing with Easton,
his YouTube channel is (beep).
- [Dan] We're gonna beep that out because he was supposed to
earn that shout out by winning a match.
- My dad's filming right next to me,
and he said that we have to beep out
because I said, "his YouTube channel's"
(beep).
So, sorry.
- [Dan] Why is your name Link M?
(Lincoln screaming)
They're coming for Lincoln.
Lincoln is a girl noob skin.
- I hit one, I'm out of mats.
I'm dead.
I haven't played Fortnite for a while,
so that's good.
- Come on Lincoln.
We need some expert opinion here.
- I say we do this one.
- [Dan] What about this gray-ish one?
- How about I put it on the wall?
- [Dan] That is pretty good.
It'd be really dark though,
in this whole area.
It'd make it like a cave in here.
This one's my favorite.
Look, bam.
Matchy match.
White and black are just too stark of a color,
I feel like.
- This is gonna be best.
- [Dan] That's gonna be best?
- No, black would be the best.
- Okay I highly disagree with you.
- Okay, white sounds great.
- No, don't give in like that.
You can't give in when somebody disagrees with you.
- Let us have a little discussion here,
and we'll get right back to you.
This has been a very long off-camera discussion.
We're not gonna tell you until they arrive.
Cut to the scene of them arriving in a week.
This is the color that we chose.
I hope it looks okay.
Ta-da, it's white.
My initial thought is, I don't want white.
- Noted.
- In between the filming of getting this,
we actually filmed an entire office tour
and we repainted that entire editing room.
So, this has been a long process.
What's cool about these,
there's the sound panel that's on this side.
This is the thing that really stops the sound from bouncing
off of the wall.
I just gotta figure out how to put the thing
on the wall.
(light music)
Okay, we got 'em all.
Now we gotta figure out how to put these on the wall.
So this is how this is supposed to work.
There are no brackets on this thing built in.
All these panels were already $1300,
so I was like, I don't wanna pay extra
for some sort of fancy bracket,
but maybe I should have
because it's a little confusing.
You get a bunch of these little wood things,
which I guess,
is that an adhesive on the side?
Probably shouldn't be tearing it apart,
but here I am.
Just wanna know, is this?
Okay, I gotta sneeze.
Maybe not.
(sneeze)
It comes with this bag of screws.
It's going to be a little tricky
to make sure that they all are even.
Let's do it.
(upbeat inspiring music)
Okay, this is taking longer than we thought
and we've actually done a decent job,
but not a great job.
This is Hans.
If you remember the video that we did
of Kenzie's wedding,
it was such a special day.
Well, Hans married Kenzie.
They are down here for the weekend on vacation.
So I'm putting him to work
and having him help me
'cause I'm not good at measuring things.
But, we did our best.
But there's a flaw in this system
we have a bit of a gap right there.
We didn't mean to have a gap right there.
Then we have an even bigger gap right there
and it's just a little off.
Then on this side, with the bigger panels,
it's tricky because we have a gap.
But not only do we have a gap,
but this side is higher than this side
so the gap is not even and then that same thing.
So then it carries up to that one where it's not even.
I know when Leslie comes in here,
she's gonna look at it and go, no, no.
'Cause ideally, we could just put them together
but the hardware that they give us
to put this together is just not gonna work.
I don't know if this idea's gonna work.
But this is double sided tape.
It's really thick, 3M double sided tape.
It's gonna rip up our walls if we did a ton of it.
That's what we used for all of these squares.
A little strip right here,
a little strip right there,
and do that on every one of the corners.
These are pretty light.
This is recycled material,
so if we put the sticky tape on there,
it would come off super easily.
We're probably just gonna take all these ones down.
Take off the screws and the bracket on the back
and then just stick 'em on the wall.
I'm not good at big projects,
and I didn't think this would be this big of a project.
But, it is.
Take two, here we go.
(upbeat music)
All right, adhesive is on here.
I mean, it's on.
A lot easier than the screws.
- Yeah, that's straight too.
- We're gonna keep going with the adhesives.
(upbeat music)
Turn off our music here that's not copyright free.
Check that out, we did that so much faster.
In the amount of time, put nine panels up.
The double sided tape worked like magic.
You can put it, don't have to measure,
you put 'em all close to each other.
The only place where we kind of messed up
was this corner right here.
There's a little bit of a gap.
We didn't really get it snug against there when we went up,
but it already looks so much better.
Now, you can see how silly this one looks
where we used their tools right there.
It is just huge gaps and weird looking.
Then you've got this one, just nice.
The hanging tools with the little screws on it,
it's nearly impossible to get straight.
Throw on some double sided tape.
So if anybody buys it,
don't ever use this.
You get double sided tape.
We're gonna take these ones down and fix the other ones
and then it's time for the sound test
to see if it actually made a sound difference
in this room.
(upbeat music)
There we go.
It sounds quiet over here in this corner.
We put it all up, took way longer than it should've.
But we learned some things
and kind of a fun home project,
even though it took a lot of our day.
It looks so much better than when we used those mounts.
Could use some up there.
I thought I ordered some
but I must've got confused and I didn't put it on there.
I'm gonna have to measure that out,
put one right there.
If there's one that fits along this top,
I may but, I'm liking this.
I'm liking this a lot.
All right, let's clean up in here
and then I'm gonna show you the sound test
and let's see if this actually works.
(playful music)
(tapping)
Okay, we are back in the spot where this entire video began.
We have the sound dampening tiles on the wall.
We should have a lot more.
We should have some on this wall,
we should have some up there.
We should have thicker carpet in here.
- I feel like the ceiling would really help.
- There's so many things that we could do
but this is our first attempt,
well second attempt, this was the first,
that seems like it did nothing on that wall
'cause they're just really, really thin.
These ones are thicker and let's see what it sounds like.
I think before, I did a clap test.
I did three claps.
Then you said something about,
"Hey, welcome back to What's Inside
"I'm Lincoln, this is Dan"
something like that.
So, let's do it.
Can you go turn off your computer?
Okay, here we go, ready?
(loud clapping)
No, I do the claps and then you do the What's Inside.
Here we go.
(loud clapping)
- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Lincoln, and this Dan,
and today we are going to see what's inside
sound dampening foam panels.
- Wait, we're not really gonna see what's inside of them.
We got it.
How does that sound?
Obviously, we could have a boom mic in here
that would sound better,
but they actually look really cool
and they're good on the wall.
You guys can be the judges for yourself.
Did it make a difference?
- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Lincoln and this is Dan
and today we have sound dampening walls.
- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Lincoln and this is Dan
and today we are going to see what's inside
sound dampening foam panels.
(loud clapping)
- I really, really, really can't emphasize
how much I hate the screws and those little plastic things.
Nearly impossible to get straight and to look good.
I would like to get some that are inside of the editing room
on the walls,
'cause it's incredibly echoey in there.
The ceiling goes like this and the noises bounces off and
(whistle)
science something.
And I'm not a big fan of spending $1300 on this.
If it did make a difference,
then oh man, why did I spend so much money?
- And time.
- I don't know, we might come out here tomorrow
and there might be three or four of them
that are on the ground because our double sided tape
is not good enough.
(intense music)
Time for the update.
I didn't think that we would be doing.
If you can't tell from the scruff on my face,
its been about a week and a half
since we last filmed the video
where we hung these up.
We were super happy.
It was a big time success.
We left for seven days for Lincoln's golf tournament
and I came back to this.
(playful music)
Sound panels on the ground.
The ones that are held up right now are basically held up
because this chair is keeping it there.
The double sided tape looked really good,
it went up faster,
but now here we are.
I'm gonna try something else.
It's not gonna be part of this video,
I think I'm gonna get some 30 or 40 pound double sided tape
and stick it on there.
Maybe put super glue, some sort of plastic material
on to the actual sound panel itself.
It's this fabric it's not sticking to.
So, to be continued at some point.
Longest video ever that we ever thought we'd ever make
about sound panels.
Check out my face.
I have never had long hair.
This is the longest it's ever been
and there's gray right there.
I'm getting old.
All right, thanks for watching,
I'm gonna go shave.
(playful music)
- Hello, whoa.
My voice sounds deeper, you know?
- [Dan] Yeah, the sound just disappears.
It doesn't really echo.
- Hello, hello.
That's cool, I like this color too.
- And some people might say,
well hey, you don't wanna put double sided tape on there
because it's gonna wreck your walls.
Well check out what it did to our walls
just from the screws.
The hole and then the screws on there.
So we definitely have to patch the walls
and do paint touch ups regardless.
So, we might as well use double sided tape
and get it done right and looking good.
- Come here, come on.
Come on Tess, come on.
- More flex than I thought.
- [Dan] We like to flex on people.
- People say we do.
- Clappy clap.
(loud clap)
If you made it this far,
thank you for watching all the way to the end.
That was nice of you, thank you.
All right, goodbye.
That's the end of our video.
Tip of the cap to you.
I'm gonna go get in the swimming pool now.
I am sweaty, that was a long day.
- [Lincoln] Those don't look bad.
- Wait, one last thing.
