Building the Ultimate Sim Racing Room with Arrowzoom Acoustic Felt Ceiling Panels

Building the Ultimate Sim Racing Room with Arrowzoom Acoustic Felt Ceiling Panels

 

A dedicated sim racing room is more than just a racing rig and a large display—it's about creating an immersive environment where every detail enhances the experience.

To complete his newly built gaming space, Matt Sellings installed Arrowzoom Self-Adhesive Acoustic Felt Ceiling Panels, giving the room a cleaner finish while helping reduce unwanted sound reflections caused by the low ceiling.

After testing the panels himself, Matt shares why they became one of the final touches that truly completed his dream sim racing room.

A Ceiling Upgrade That Makes a Difference

Unlike traditional wall-mounted acoustic panels, Matt chose to install Arrowzoom's Self-Adhesive Acoustic Felt Ceiling Panels directly overhead.

His gaming room features a relatively low ceiling, which caused sound to bounce back while gaming, recording videos, and listening to music. Installing acoustic treatment on the ceiling was a practical solution to help create a more controlled acoustic environment.

Beyond improving the room's acoustics, the ceiling panels also added a premium, finished appearance that perfectly matched the overall design of the space.

Quick and Hassle-Free Installation

One of Matt's favorite features was how simple the installation process was.

Each 30 × 30 cm panel comes with a self-adhesive backing, allowing the panels to be installed without additional glue or complicated mounting hardware. Simply peel off the protective backing, position the panel, and press it firmly into place.

Matt noted that the adhesive felt strong and secure, making the installation process smooth from start to finish.

Premium Colors with a Custom Design

For this project, Matt selected both black and white ceiling panels to create a pattern inspired by a racing checkered flag.

He mentioned being pleasantly surprised by the quality of the colors. The black panels appeared deep and rich instead of looking faded or gray, while the white panels created a crisp contrast that made the ceiling stand out.

The finished result gave the room a distinctive motorsport-inspired look that perfectly complemented his sim racing setup.

Noticeable Improvement in Room Acoustics

After installing the panels, Matt immediately noticed a difference in how the room sounded.

The low ceiling previously caused sound to reflect around the room, creating noticeable echo during gaming sessions and while filming YouTube videos. Once the acoustic felt panels were installed, he described the room as feeling noticeably "deader"—a positive sign that unwanted reflections had been reduced.

For creators, gamers, and streamers, this type of acoustic treatment can help create a more comfortable environment for recording, communication, and everyday use.

Why Matt Recommends Arrowzoom Self-Adhesive Acoustic Felt Ceiling Panels

After completing the installation, several features stood out:

  • Self-adhesive backing for fast, tool-free installation
  • 30 × 30 cm panels that are easy to arrange into custom layouts
  • Helps reduce echo and unwanted ceiling reflections
  • Modern felt finish that complements gaming rooms and home studios

Matt Sellings found that the Arrowzoom Self-Adhesive Acoustic Felt Ceiling Panels not only enhanced the visual appeal of his sim racing room but also helped create a quieter, more controlled environment by reducing unwanted sound reflections from the ceiling.

What's the difference between impact and airborne noise? 🔊

1. Airborne Noise

  • This travels through the air, like conversations, TV sounds, or barking dogs. When sound waves hit a building, they cause it to vibrate, transmitting through the structure.

2. Impact Noise

  • This results from physical impacts on buildings, such as footsteps, slamming doors, or moving furniture. Impact noise can be harder to isolate, as these vibrations are stronger and travel further through dense materials.

What are decibels? 📏

Decibels are measured logarithmically (not as a percentage) . This means that every increase of 10dB on the scale is a tenfold increase in sound pressure level (SPL) . Near silence is 0dB 🤫, while a sound at 10dB is ten times louder!

  • 30-40 dB = Soft music, whisper 🎶
  • 60-80 dB = Office noise, traffic 🚗
  • 85-100 dB (HARMFUL) = Subway, shouted convo, chainsaw ⚠️
  • 100-140 dB (DANGEROUS) = Chainsaw, loud concert, racing, shooting range 🚨
