Having lots of objects in your room can help absorb or diffuse sound waves, too. They’re only thick enough to absorb very high sound frequencies. Just don’t hang carpet or rugs on the walls as a substitute for foam paneling. If you don’t have a carpeted space, consider throwing down a rug or two to cover as much of the floor as possible. Carpet will absorb more sound than tile, for instance. Your type of floor also affects how sound bounces around the room. Vaulted ceilings have great acoustics for watching a movie or listening to music, but they’re not so great for streaming, recording voice overs, or for anything other kind of recording where you need to eliminate echo. A small, 10x10 room with a flat ceiling is going to sound different than a large living room with a vaulted ceiling, so you might be hearing a bit of an echo when you record, which is just the sounds from your voice bouncing off the walls back into your mic. If you’ve done all that and your voice still sounds weird, then the room acoustics might be to blame. Other than getting a quieter keyboard or a shockmount (more on that later), my solution so far has been to move my keyboard behind my mic.
One problem I run into with my Blue Yeti is picking up the sound of me furiously typing away. Can you easily move your furniture around in a way that still utilizes space efficiently? If not, put the fan on the other side of the room so you can be comfortable while minimizing noise at the same time.
(Windows are especially notorious for bouncing sound waves.) If you absolutely need that fan on because your room is the hottest room in the house like mine is, then take a look at the layout of your desk and the rest of your furniture. You could also invest in a more creative solution like noise-reducing curtains or foam panels, anything to dampen ambient noises from both outside and inside your home. So, if you are hearing lots of feedback, the easiest and simplest solution is to turn off any fans and close your windows.
