Yes...and you are making paper. My suggestion is to wash and dry all cotton as it will make the best paper. The lint is added to water..with starch as sizing to hold that slurry together after it's dry. You can make hand made paper sculpture--or handmade paper to complete by watercoloring on-or make gift tags-or greeting cards-some people add ingredients to the slurry that will become your paper--like feathers-or fern leaves-or gold thread..it turns out beautiful-or quilt it with the gold thread You know...when I was a kid-forgive my admitting this-I used to watch Hee Haw...there was a corny segment in a hill billy radio station--the radio station walls and ceiling had those cardboard paper egg cartons tacked up all over it as sound proofing-the bumpy-egg-socket part, all lined up like flat lumpy tile's on the walls. Cheap-no mess-and easy. The bumpy corrugations of the carton make the sound proofing work-but you just have to eat a lot of eggs-and have a staple gun. It must work-I've seen it elsewhere-either that-or someone else watched HeeHaw. I included a handmade paper site-some really exciting (although I can ONLY IMAGINE what anyone would use Asian Elephant dung paper for)

Sound proofing more or less is space. In a recording studio, doors and walls are very thick, and glass is double paned. In a home studio enviroment, hanging carpet or cloth, or even egg carton material will prevent sound from escaping a space.

The key to soundproofing lies in making sure the opposing walls share no sound conduit. Alternate studs to leave an airspace between the stud and the opposing wall.

What is sound? How are it frequencies transmitted.
Do different density of materials transfer the same frequencies?
How is it affected by distance , separation or
density ( Mass ) of materials.

for walls its a composite material , rockwool was very popular once , then kingspan which insulates sound and heat.

Sonex (it is expensive foam made for absorbing sound)

hi density foam works best, especially if you are to 'float' a room. its all to do with angles
