Re: Effective DIY on wall acoustic treatments

Egg cartons do not make very good sound absorbers.

See:

Placing MDF behind the egg cartons will not help either, as it will provide a reflective barrier.

For low cost DIY Acoustic treatments, see:

specifically

My minimal recommended room treatment regime, consisting of 4 bass traps, and 4 wall panels, will end up costing about $150 or less.

Some Super Quick & Dirty bass traps can be thrown together for about $25 a pair of fiberglass rolls in each corner, and some Profoam wall panels run around $50 a set, so this is a low labor, low cost option.
See the Original DIY Acoustic treatment referenced above for details.
