I used a VLS 4.6 at TechShop SF:https://www.ulsinc.com/products/platforms/vls4-60

Yeah, it's not pulled taut around the edges, so it has wrinkles on the sides. Your comment got me thinking - so now I'm considering replacing the fabric with a DIY water color painting on heavy sketch paper. I think that would let the light through quite well, but not be transparent. Thanks for the comment!

I'm wondering about how to create (re-)movable soundproofing, for 2 spots in our house: 1) the door between the master bedroom and the bathroom, and 2) the hallway between the TV room and the rest of the house. For case 1), I'd like to be able to remove it depending on the current tenant's desires, so it could be up for months at a time. It sounds like your method could work. I'd just need to cut around the baseboard trim to get it to be a snug fit somehow.For case 2), we need to be able to move it easily, like a door, so that we can just have it blocking while watching TV. I'm wondering about creating a drywall door on a sliding track for that. I can't find evidence that anyone creates "doors" out of drywall, but it seems like it'd be more soundproof than wood. I don't know...see more »I'm wondering about how to create (re-)movable soundproofing, for 2 spots in our house: 1) the door between the master bedroom and the bathroom, and 2) the hallway between the TV room and the rest of the house.

I don't know if being on a track would negate all the benefits of the drywall though, since it's definitely not decoupled. Have you done anything like that?

Thank you! I probably will, as I have a need for a business card sized box as well. I will comment once I make that and have a file for that size.
