Novelty Test Report IV - Egg Cartons

This weekend is the big Egg Festival, so don't throw away those empty egg cartons! Based on the results of our latest Novelty Test Report, they might be worth more than the eggs that came in them!

We tested 216 pressed paper pulp egg cartons in a variety of configurations to determine which orientation performed the best. We know you've seen the makeshift music studios with the bottoms of the egg cartons on the walls, but do you think they provide adequate sound absorption? Read our reports to find out! You can download all 4 test reports at the link below to add to your library and share with your friends and colleagues!


About Our Novelty Testing Program

RAL will be performing a series of self-sponsored tests and publishing the results for wide dissemination across the acoustics community. Send us your suggestions for our next test! We are looking to test commodity materials or systems where data is needed but does not exist due to a lack of a traditional sponsor.

The Rules:

  • Test samples should be made from commodity materials, no specific acoustical product systems
  • The tests would not have a conventional sponsor interest, so they are not likely to happen in the acoustical testing marketplace
  • The results have some utility or interest to the broad acoustics community
