Who would have thought
Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets would bring so much peace to bird lovers? It wasn't our intended use for the product, but many customers have been raving about the effectiveness of our sheets in creating soundproof bird cages.
Like most pet owners, the number one concern for these customers is the safety and happiness of their birds - noise control comes second. Luckily,
Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets are a removable solution that can be hung and removed at your convenience to absorb the mid and high frequencies of your screaming bird.
As you probably are well aware,
the goal here is not to isolate your bird - birds are very social creatures. Rather, Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets create soundproof bird cages that will help you ignore the bird's loud noises when he's sitting in the same room. By ignoring him when he screams and rewarding him when he gets quiet, you will teach him through positive reinforcement that there are better ways to get your attention. One of our customers, Hans, recently used
Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets to control his conure's noise.
Hans has this advice for creating a soundproof bird cage:
"First, place your cage in a corner, preferably by a window (in fact, it's highly recommended). Put one sound absorption sheet on each of the two walls in the corner. These will prevent the walls from reflecting or transmitting sound (basically it will prevent your corner from acting like a sound amplifier).Fasten one sound absorption sheet to the back and the sides of your cage. This absorbs any sound emanating from the covered sides and leaves the top and front sides of soundproof bird cages exposed. Place one (or more, depending on your choice and needs) over the room's door. This will cut down on the noise to the outside. If you're sharing an apartment or want to diminish the noise to other rooms in your house, this will help a lot.
Doing this has literally taken out the negative of owning a conure from my life. Thanks to my soundproof bird cage,I can enter or leave the room as I please without worrying about bothering anyone in my living vicinity. I can stay in my room and watch TV without having to succumb to my bird's cries asking to come out. My girlfriend can come over without worrying that her sensitive ears might get blasted away by extremely high pitched calls.
Life is definitely smoother again and everybody's quality of life has returned to normal. Another amazing consequence of having soundproof bird cages is that you will now be able to break the association that your bird has formed between their screaming and gaining your attention. Very quickly their screams will drop in frequency, as they will realize that they have lost their efficacy to control you. Now, you have the power to train your bird, rather than your bird training you. Enjoy!"
