Greetings,
I am a graduate student interested in research involving the measurement of ultrasonic vocalizations in mice. An essential component to potential experiments of mine is the use of sound-proof isolation chambers.
I am reaching out to inquire about the average cost of commercially available sound-proof isolation chambers, specifically those designed for small animal research, like the ones offered by Med Associates. Understanding these costs is crucial for budgetary considerations in my project.
Additionally, if the commercial options are financially prohibitive, I am interested in learning about any cost-effective DIY alternatives. Has anyone in this community successfully built or used a homemade sound-proof isolation chamber for similar purposes? If so, could you share your experiences, the materials used, the overall effectiveness, and any cost insights?
Any information or guidance on this topic would be immensely valuable and appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance!
