I’ve done a few with my own photos printed on them, they look like canvas art. Well, they basically are, but also filled with sound deadening insulation.
I will probably make some myself at custom sizes, it’s basically a frame filled with insulation from the big box store, wrapped in fabric.
The impact they have is reducing room reverb, which helps a lot for conversation when there are a lot of people in the room.
They’re likely acoustic dampening foam panels. You can get a similar, but lesser, effect with texturing the walls and ceilings. It’s surprising how echoey a room is without it.
Sound panels. They’re insanely effective. I put up a few at home, and now I complain about every place that doesn’t have them.

MVL (most valuable lemming) right here.
I’ll have to look into this. There’s a few spots around my home that I’d like to be less noisy.

Wonder how hard it’d be to take one of those cheaper canvas paintings off amazon or w/e and stuff em with some dampening
Not a bad idea. The hardest part I think would be getting the insulation to the right thickness to fit. Not sure how well it cuts.
Most art probably isn’t very thick either, and 2" thick is a sweet spot because it works better at low frequencies, but isn’t excessively large
