hello.

i've got a lot of posters framed, many/most using american frame/poster depot type frames... simple black metal frame, uv protecting anti-glare acrylic. not the best, but the price is right.

the problem is that heat fluctuations - the heater/ac kicking on - causes them to crackle pretty loudly. i kind of tune it out at this point, but my newish tiny human does not, and lots of overnight crying commences. no good.

anyone successfully solved this?

thanks!

Weird. Are you sure it ain't ghosts??

Yeah I use the same type of frames and have never noticed or heard of such a thing. Call an Exorcist.

oh that shiz is definitely ghosts

100% ghosts

Yup. I read that apparitions get past quality control on ~5% of shipments.

come on, seriously? is this standard noob hazing? i *can't* be the only one with this problem. definitely not ghosts... mine are much more overt and friendly.

yea, very common for UV plexi to make crackling sounds with temperature changes....

Yep noticed it quite a lot at my old house. Newer house not so much....guess I've got better insulation here.

it should be noted that temperature changes often occur in hauntings when ghosts use the ambient energy in a room to manifest themselves resulting in a drop in temperature around the entity itself.

Or is acrylic just ghosts trapped in a flat plastic enclosure? Shoulda gone with that museum glass, brah.

Or fewer ghosts.

Kinda love that it went in this direction

I have the same crackling noise with my Ikea Detolf Display Cases

Don't buy cheap fudge. Problem solved.
