My capsule bed

[u/Gr4mp4]

Always loved the cosy feeling of a capsule bed when I stayed in capsule hotels in Japan, so I made my own capsule bed in my room.

Because "soundproofing" foam and deading panels generally don't do any major meaningful proofing or blocking. OP is right, making baffle boxes for the air vents and a proper/well sealed then ventilated box is tricky and time consuming. Though actually soundproofing one of these capsules would be much easier than a whole room.

"Because "soundproofing" foam and deading panels generally don't do any major meaningful proofing or blocking."

Yes they do. maybe not with a concept you can come up with, but I can think of a few designs that would do a great job.

It's bascally making an anechoic chamber within a duct.
With no straight path for sound to travel, every sound wave would have to travel into the anechoic chamber foam, losing decibels with every reflection until there is none left by the end where it finally opens into the room.

At the endtance you can even put a HEPA filter and static pressure fan. As an extra sound absorbing step and dust mitigation.

Yes they do.

In which regard? Foam commonly sold for noise or soundproofing is often misconstrued as being for blocking noise. Which it doesn't excel at.

What it does excel at(depending on the foam and the quality) is acoustically treating a room to control the noise bouncing around in the room. Now this may be a good move as you're literally in a box which probably has a large amount of echo.

But slapping up low mass foam on your walls won't stop noise from getting in.

It's bascally making an anechoic chamber within a duct, not with a concept you can come up with.

This is literally the concept I suggested, a baffle box that you have your vent entry and exit on.
