No offense but would you hurry up and get to the point. Dude people just need an answer
@@lifebydesign9435i would have preferred a solution 😂
So there’s basically no way to soundproof a room in a shared house for cheap. Watched so many of these videos and it seems impossible to do anything affordable as a broke student in a shared house who can hear housemates talk even at a low volume from their room and they can hear if I talk quietly because of how thin the walls are 😕
I know it can be really shitty…hope your situation improves.
can relate, just woke up at 3 am, because neighbor snore so loud, the whole second floor can hear him
There are ways to soundproof for cheap. Hang up thick quilt on the walls. ANYTHING is better than nothing, even cheap Amazon foam.
Currently laying down at 3 AM listening to my roommate snore 🫤
I once legit just screwed three cheap throw blankets to the wall and it helped a LOT, esp if you put some foam between the throw blankets
An image I like to use when people don't get this is: trying to soundproof with sound treatment, is like trying to fix a water leak with a dehumidifier and some towels.
That’s a great way to put it! Thanks! 😊
However, sometimes noise reduction rather than assuming completely sound proofing a room is okay too. There is no such thing as complete sound proofing. Think of an wooden floor room with thin walls, compared to a well insulated room with carpet. One you can hear even the slightest of conversations to the other where you can't. It does make a difference. Sound proofing is not accurate anyway, sound is a form of energy so it is just about lowering decibels. So if someone has annoying kids or parties in that room then carpeting, acoustic panels, wall insulation, etc could make all the difference, even if it doesn't completely stop everything. Better to have a bucket and towels rather than nothing.
Thanks
Answer is to bury the room 6 foot under. Problem solved
No
I just want something to actually make my room soundproof so that I don't have to worry about my neighbors hearing my girl and I doing the Ogre swamp wrestle.
who is the ogre you or her?
yes wrestle
Yet none answers the damn question
who is the ogre you or her ?
@@rawLmaobigDImEs bruh be original
To perfectly blocking a sound is almost impossible especially for a very loud situation like a jamming/practice room but it's ok to have some noise going through outside because I think no one ever expected to have 0 decibel passing through outside. Thank you for the explanation.
Thats not true if you cast a room in earth and lead
Must never been in the military and did the hear test. That room is soundproof. Or go to a music room in the Usos.
@@Zombi3Kill3r125(almost) impossible. its very expensive to completely soundproof a room
It isn’t impossible
Nope
I saw a video from Doug Zed where he plastered Futon(thick Japanese bedding) on every wall and ceuling of a room and covered them up with thick moving blankets/black out curtains. He did before and after tests using various sources(shouting, full blast studio monitors, ect) and noticed a massive improvement.
Interesting! I’ll look for that!
Doug zed Fulton. Imma look for that video.
If I can’t find it can I get a link by chance? Thank you
Yes that's the stuff that would do it. But a bit pricey
Well, that's pretty much the same idea of foam over mass loaded vinyl, because bedding usually has a mass layer for insulation and a layer of cushion for softness. So that makes sense. I don't know that it would be any easier or cheaper to do than just lining your whole wall with mass loaded vinyl and then cover with denser foam. I bet Sonopan on top of vinyl would work even better. Too bad there isn't Sonopan in my area.
Nah
My problem is from noise above in another apartment. They radiate into a bedroom and living room. Closing and opening of a door, footsteps, running, moving of furniture, someone dropping things on the floor above which is made of reinforced concrete. The walls in the apartment are also solid concrete.
My problem too!! SOS!
Didnt see this question. Does the shape of acoustic foam matter (diamond, wave, eggshell ect?) If so what is best in your opinion
So true, everywhere people are misunderstanding room acoustics treatment with soundproofing.
Everyone says fiberglass is only good for sound treating a room and won't cut the noise, but there's a clear diff between walls with insulation and those without when it comes to cutting noise. I need to reduce the noise from my half stack, as much as possible.
I am thinking about building a portable booth out of panels. This booth will be a complete enclosure. I am thinking maybe making each panel 3’x7’ for a total size of 6’x6’x7’. This booth will be used for vocals mainly but I want it big enough so I can play instruments in there as well. Would you recommend sound proofing or acoustic foam? There won’t be any echo so would that eliminate acoustic treatment? Thanks in advance :)
would putting up small 1'x1' squares of mlv in a 10'x10' room (maybe 4 or 5 on each wall) help reduce sound travelling through a wall or is it only effective if I install it across the whole wall?
"echo" in the room is nothing else, than wall reflection. The Sound and its reflection add up - so when U even use only absorber to reduce "echo", the sound becomes slightly quieter.
So if I'm using "sound absorbing" materials does the material itself actually "hang on" to the sounds it's been absorbing and then allow me to recall those sounds in the order they were stored by simply squeezing the sounds out of the material when I want to re-hear what I've stored.
Does it help blocking sound coming from outside? If I cover my window with it from outside I will put these foam on my windows from outside as i have a room beside balcony so will it work?
will the acoustic foam provide any temperature insulation, for instance covering the ceiling? will that block any heat from attic above ceiilng?
I have a detached house with two outside walls cavity brick a block breeze separating wall from the staircase. I have watched so many videos on sound proofing but my logic is to deaden a room volume from pressure to a factor for sound emitting audioto propel sound waves in a space that will equalise its delivery parameters for the best possible cinematic experience. Is this more the right reason for absorption and reflection. As to my thoughts I still am unsure as to prepare for my project I have in mind. And want to use concepts I think will be best.
I love singing and i still live with my parents, night time is definitely the time i want to express myself, i used to want to get these acoustic foam but now i guess i'm gonna wait for couple years ahead after finishing my college and live in my own house
I can relate. If you want to do stuff at night I recommend asking a community center of some sort if you can have access to their space after hours for the purpose of singing. Think of churches, leisure centers etc etc.
Have a good pitc, clear expectations, and be ready to be a bit pushy ;)
I have golf simulator in my shop and the bay is against a wall that has another business on the other side. Currently I have sound cancelling blankets on the back of the screen itself but still noise going through the wall. would you recommend loaded vynal on the wall behind the screen to soften the sound of the ball impacting with the screen? Also considering the wall is already finished is it ok to put it over the drywall? Not going to be the prettiest thing but it will be behind the screen where no one can see it. Or is there something else you would recommend?
Thanks bro for the info. It's beneficial. Is there any of your video on Sound Blocking?
@soundproofguide. I have an interesting situation. Tomorrow morning, Oct 11 2021 I am getting my condo spray foam insulted. Am I able to use Rockwool Safe and Sound in some areas on top of the spray foam? Its Mainly for Soundproofing as there is Ac Lines in part of my wall.
One thing worth noticing is that acoustic guitars can resonate with certain frequencies and almost amplify tones coming from electric equipment, so put a strand of rope between the strings if you are not using the guitar and think it looks great on the wall.
Hello there, thank you for the informative video. It outlined a lot of things that don’t work for sound BLOCKING. Do you have any recommendations for something that would work for that specific need?
To be more specific I’m not doing any recording or hiding echos , just don’t want the people in the apartment above me to hear the tv and other things coming out of my bedroom , it’s bad for them and weird for me knowing they can, I don’t mind spending money on this so any ideas that would show some noticeable improvement are welcome.
Thank you
I also would love to know this ❤
I have an outside small shed that is about 15ft x 10ft with a small double glazed window and door on the same wall, i am looking to soundproof the entire shed top to bottom for an acoustic drumkit what is the best course of action?
@soundproofguide can you use construction floor underlayment between two drywalls good for sound proofing?
What would you suggest to lower sound of Cold start on modified exhaust in a garage ?
I have a suspended ceiling, which I know does almost nothing to keep sound in, But if I were to cover the back of each panel with mass loaded vinyl, would that have any effect?
Hi, I am much troubled by the noise overhead day and night. My home is in a 6-storey building. My flat is on the 2nd floor. There is always heavy walking on the vinyl in the apartment above. Every time when someone is walking there, I am suffering underneath. It is a feeling of being hit on the head to an extent when the heavy walking stops, the bomb bomb bomb sound still prevails just like a torture chamber.
Referring to the regulations in the Lease, stated in the 'Capet and floor coverings', the Tenant must cover the floors of the property with appropriate floor coverings as may be required to deaden sound in the property.' I have asked the site office three times for help. It sometimes seems less frequent and severe but the noise is still there and even received in the bedroom when the ear is on the pillow during bedtime. Thank you very much!
HEY! Great videos on sound proofing. I recently moved into a house located about 200 feet from a slow moving train. We have a back house that we want to rent out but cant until we soundproof for a train horn. After watching your videos I have a much better grasp on sound proofing but what would you recommended for my situation? Will Quietrock 545 help me dampen the noise enough to have tenants sleep better?! Thank you.
I’m making a vid about this type of noise! This question gets asked a lot! Mind if I give you a shout out at the beginning and read your question?
@@soundproofguide yes! Please use it! Thank you so much!
so what would be something good for sound blocking?
What if I used that vinal stuff. I plan on sound proofing a very small closet so I can record in it and be as loud as I want. I already bought acoustic stuff because I, like a lot of other people, thought they were for soundproofing lol. Would it be expensive to soundproof a very small closet? I know it's hard to tell without me saying measurements but think a tiny bit more longer than your armspan.
I want to put multiple layers of it in the walls.
Using thicker foam or layering it on top of each other.
Would that block out my drums ?
I have a question : when the sound come from the out side which is better to use ? is the same principle ? putting this vynil on the wall will block the sounds that come from the outside too or I have to put it external ?
Tell me when u get answer
Im having a project to do for my own music studio and i am following your channel for this in a while now. Im planning to make an acrylic enclosure in one of the corners on our room. Using 2 sides of acrylic sheets with 10mm thick attaching it to the wall up to the ceiling. Will it help atleast trap the sound inside and then adding foams and gym mats to the wall to help in sound proofing inside of it???? Thanks for answering...
They won’t help to “trap” sound inside the room. It will However help making the room sound better. It will reduce the amount of decibel leaking from the room but only if there’s already a bad echo. And even then, you wouldn’t be completely satisfied by the results.
@@soundproofguide hmmmm, i was thinking making acrylic sheet walls will help to soundproof it as long as the gaps will be filled with seals ot weather strip. So better make a room instead of 2 acrylic sheet attached on a corner walls???
Look at Etsy and Pinterest. There are links for buying burlap, suede, and other materials in some things that they show.
Using canvas stretchers means no cutting or nailing, readymade and just push the fitted joints together.
We need to be easy on the environment, fire safety is first concern. Nothing to spread a fire.
Share materials and tools with others, who will help you scrounge for materials or lend a staple gun.
I can’t see how acrylic would be of much help. Think old time movie theaters….thick, weighted heavy drapes. The sidewalls are beveled panels, staggered placement, act as baffles.
We’ve got so much to learn with this stuff. Quieting things down is simple planning, trial and error, but don’t waste material and always, fire safety. Think of mom’s house…thick thick carpet and pads, overstuffed furniture, floor cushions, drapes with heavy liners. The lampshades two feet high….but no soundproof issues.
What are ways or things that would help to sound block a room or apartment ?
I like your video. What do you recommend for sound proof in a music room?
Thank you very much sir ! @Soundproof Guide , I want to practice as loud as I want without disturbing my neighbour above me, so I was searching and searching, and came up with a solution. I want to put a garden shed in my living room, 7x6 feet , and then attach Mass Loaded Vinyl on the inside and make sure every wall is completely covered , the floor as well. do you think it is a good idea, do you think it will work? Thanks in advance
This channel should be called “how to not sound proof anything ever”.
Best option for studio guys: Go to a mattress store. Ask them if you can get the foam out of the disposed of mattresses. Bring a box cutter with extra blades. I got 3-6” thick foam out of like 12 queen and king sized mattresses. (Most mattresses are hybrids now). Hang it everywhere, glue it where you can. That room was so quiet I could hear my heart beat.
If I only use the sound proof panel on the door only will it work?
What would you say is the best way to lower the volume of sound traveling in a straight line down a long hallway or stairwell? I have an entertainment room at the top of an open-ended stairwell with no ability to install doors at either end. I may not be able to kill the sound completely, but I would like to reduce the volume of somewhat loud sounds (conversations, dog barking, pots and pans) going up the stairs.
Hi, great video of sound proofing. I recently had a new shower pump installed and it emits sound between 43-58db. A handyman friend managed to secure an Easy Panel (Soundproofing Plate) which I intend to build a box from to cover the pump. Have you heard of this material and if so, is it effective? Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks and keep your videos coming. 👍😊
Hello, I am looking a way to decrease the thud sound from upstairs neighbors. My roof is plasterboard with a layer of cotton wool, but I can still hear the neighbors walking or moving furniture. Are there any surface mount solutions or should I just use earplugs and hope to hear my morning alarm?
What's the best way to block sound coming through a upvc door please 🙏
Thank you!! This was quick and simple enough for even me to understand it!
Brilliant demo and info 👏🏼👍🏼 thank you…. From England 🏴
You’re welcome 🏴
If I put some sound isolating sheets on a window + sound absorbing panels on it + cushion tape on the edges, could it block the sound from the street...? The walls themselves are very thick and sound blocking, my huge issue is the windows.
Hi and thanks for your amazing tutorials.
Why can't we soundproof a room using just absorbers even if thick Rockwool has absorbtion coefficient 1 in many frequencies(even low frequencies)?!
So shouldn't Rockwool absorb frequencies with absorbtion coefficient 1 and leave nothing to reach our ears?!
Will it keep basement warmer?
I actually don't need a sound block that much. I was looking more for sound absorbers. Thanks!
I have just bought heavy speakers for my small room, what can i do to make sure sound remaims in my room?
I happen to have some spare floor vinyl left.... When you mentiones 'mass loaded vinyl' a few bells started ringing and I thought can I use this floor vinyl for 'soundproofing' also?
Because the foam pads absorb the sound, would the sound then be minimized for folks outside of said room?
I’m trying to sound proof for a Foosballs table. The sounds are sharp. I do need the echo gone but like is there anything that works better for sharp sounds?
If I stuck acoustic foam to the 3 walls surrounding my noisy fridge, will that create a deadening of the sound emitted from the fridge to reduce low and high frequencies it emits to reduce the decibel noise level noticeably?
No, it won’t really do anything unfortunately. Sticking something like mass loading vinyl to the fridge would help reduce vibration and noise transfer.
@@soundproofguide thank you. Would covering the fridge's lower half of the back (where the compressor is, minus the venting holes) and the lower half of both sides be sufficient? Or would it mean covering the front of the fridge as well?
I am not looking for soundproofing but for sound reduction. It is okay if I hear what is happening outside my room or other to hear something happening in mine. But the transfer is so crystal clear it can be awkward. If I am trying to listen to some asmr to help me sleep I don't need that to be heard clearly through my walls lol. And I have serious echo issues everywhere in my room. And it does not work in the reverse. Meaning except on rare occasions I normally can't hear much coming into my room.
any tips on soundproofing for noisy neighbours?
I was wondering weather Cork panels would work as it should absorb sound
What should I do to reduce the sounds from my upstairs neighbors walking around? Is there anything I can do to my ceiling? It's a condo, so I own the ceiling. I live in an old building with outdated structure, built in 1970.
45db, that's what I need to have a good sleep. Unfortunately, I cannot have that because of very, VERY loud neighbors. The noise in my room is 55db average with 68db max (you wonder how could I measure that on the first place). Since doing any permanent wall modification is not possible, I'll try to install the foam anyway, It's my only hope.
can it do the opposite? meaning kind of block/reduce the outdoor noise to make a room quieter?
No. Foam does not block noise, just absorbs it making the space sound 'dead'. Transmitted noise is unchanged in both directions.
The way those foam panels work is in the complexity of the shape. it creates a shitload of internal reflections within the foam and there's a ton of destructive interference. This is "absorption". This is also the same principle behind how those wooden break-up panels work...it's just diffusing a wave away from direct reflection as well as encouraging some destructive interference.
If you want to block sound transmission and deaden a room, a thin layer of mlv behind a stack of thin materials of differing acoustic impedance is extremely effective. More effective than the same thickness of a single material with one acoustic impedance (say MLV itself). This is because of all the interface reflections and destructive interference you can create within those layers. Imagine a twenty layers of tinfoil and newspaper and some acoustic foam on top...that will block sound far better than you ever might expect. Put a little acoustic foam in front of it and you're doing about as well as you can without adding a ton of mass.
So can I still use this for gaming like to make it so that if I'm a little to loud will it not come out that loud on the other side?
I would just use a sound proofing door curtain in your situation
XD, funny cause 2 years later from when you posted this is exactly why I’m here lol. Neighbors complain I’m a bit too loud while gaming at night
Thanks for clarifying
My question is, im trying to sound proof from the OUTSIDE from coming inside my room, im not worried about the outside hearing me im worried about sound from outside coming inside. Will using the panels help with that?
That's what I wanna know too. My brother and dad are loud af; I'm tired of hearing their conversations when they're not even in my room!
Thanks, really helpful
Ik the naswer to my question gonna be "wtch the video"
but what type of "foam" or idk what could help me to reduce the sound from other rooms going to mine?
i talked loudly apparantly so i wonder if foam is a good investement to place of the roof of my chamber ( living inside an appartement)
The problem with trying to put that material in walls, is that the studs transfer the sound from one side of the wall to the other. And unless you take care of that problem first, you'll never block the sound. Putting those panels on the wall, stops the sound before it gets to the sheetrock.
What if I’m just trying to dampen the sound coming from the outside of the room to stop my children from being heard on like teams. Microphone noise gating is just not working when the toddler screams.
if you have enough acoustic foam you'll soundproof your room, common soundproofing are basically just absorbing sound until there's nothing left to leak outside right?
The question is.. is that self sticking ok? are they going to fall down after some time? and can i use foam to stick them to the wall?
Now... How about putting massloaded vinyl on the wall, and then attaching the acoustic foam on top of it?
Usecase: I would lime to be sure im not annoying my neighbours with my soundbar...
I have pretty much one wall I'd like to isolate, plus maybe the edges around it... I would think that reducing the echo would help with the other directions, and then the vinyl would keep the sound from going through the one wall...
Am i right? At least kinda?
My husband & I will be moving into an upstairs apartment with 5 of our kids, ages 2-12. I am nervous about disturbing our neighbor's, as my kids have never lived in an apartment before & are very loud. It is all we can afford, though, so I need as many tips as possible. I have had talks with them about not running, jumping, yelling, dragging toys across the hard floor ... etc, but the reality is that it will take time to break those habits. Hopefully my neighbor is patient & gracious during the adjustment period. I am looking for any way to help dampen the sound other than the obvious ones. Would pool noodles on the walls help much? I have seen people cut them in half & make wall art, and you can get them at dollar tree. I just don't want to waste money on solutions that make minimal impact.
Seem like nothing works to block sounds that you can DIY?
So I've been planning to sort of soundproof my room but idk what to do or choose anymore after looking at so many reviews and information. My room is small and cube shaped 200 x 200 cm. My budget is around 300 EURO. My room is so bad that I can't even have my privacy since they can hear me talk most of the time as well and I can hear them outside my room/house. I was thinking of covering the room with MLV and 2" Acoustic wedges but don't think that would do much? Don't really want to go over board and renovate my walls professionally atm since it costs a lot and I'm on a tight budget. Any ideas of what I can buy/do? Thanks :D
Unfortunately acoustic wedges will not do anything for you. Mass loaded vinyl will cost much more than adding a second layer of drywall. There are some videos out there showing you how to install drywall DIY.
@@soundproofguide Oh I see but the issue is idk where to get Drywall from in UK I just cant seem to find and for this room it's my bedroom as well so I didn't wanna go all out just yet lol
Or Plaster Board?
@@King-zu9cx Try using canvas stretchers. Look at thrift stores first, but if you have to purchase from crafts store, they’re reusable. so worth the price.
I bought pre-made panels on Etsy, and they’re well made, but were not cheap. The materials are the colorful fabric, and a thin silvery mesh. Not sure why…it’s maybe a de-coupler for the fabric and nothing more. It’s a thin mesh.
He used wood. No tools are needed if you use canvas stretchers.
My success was using different sizes for my application. Staircase was getting noise from the living room, ecoh-y and unpleasant.
Just fell into the idea of using long rectangular ones, and varying 18 x 24, pieced in, staggered layout. Just thought to do it and it worked,
Get the canvas stretchers. Put out an All Points Bulletin with family and friends….give me all your beat up beach towels. Staple gun layers,
Use 3-4 thicknesses.
Use cool fabric, or invest in some remnants from fabric store. People who sew always have stuff. Get enough freebie, and you can splurge on something great. That’s the outside layer to staple gun. From dollar store get a picture hanging kit, its eyebolts and wire.
Get a couple rolls of rubberized shelf paper, might work to face material, keep it taut.
For some reason, I think coming away from the wall helps, a gap, when you hang. Maybe one as a baffle,,hanging from the ceiling.
If you get canvas stretchers same size as your windows, use them instead of curtains, just put in place.
If you get good, sell your spares to cover your costs. Wood floors are here to stay, but we need to compensate. We are pathfinding.
Share experiences.
I used Mass Loaded Vinyl to a basement room, bedroom conversion. Makes huge improvement for the whole floor. Eliminated floorboard squeaks above where it was used, tightens things up. Big improvement.
It is fire resistant material. Fire needs oxygen, afterall.
@@powerWithinUs4055 So like make a DIY panel you mean? I’ll look into all of this thank you
Where can I get the material
I'm from south Africa
Do you think Rock wool and acoustic plasterboard can block sound?
It will help.
I hve a hack 4 u. I found at Ross huge 4 pack yoga, fitness panels for 9.99 bought like 4 an used 8 for my ceiling in room and 4 on walls. In my room. As it's dense an thick. Very good stuff
And I used Alien tape, I cut into tiny square strips, an put on each corner for install
Forgot to add . It's the interlocking kind. Workout foam mats
Hopefully getting my house soundproofed soon. I hope if I do , it works.
Do what works. I need to prevent the noise from outside coming into my room
5:04 "YA KNOW IT'S HARD OUT HERE FOR A PIMP..."
I'm afraid of lightning thunder is there anyway I can get soundproof earbuds
So there goes my plan on putting some between the restroom wall and my room....I was looking into putting some panels between the room and restroom to reduce the sound of people using the toilet rom traveling to my room 😩
Perfect brother 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the info
You're Welcome!! Happy New Year! 🙂
What if I just want to talk at night, my parents room is right next to mine and the walls are paper thin even when I whisper trying to talk to my friends online I wake them up. Would the panels be able to just block regular talking?
No.
Idk what to use to hang them up. Alot of tape just falls off
if u double layer on acoustic foam could it help to at least block out some of the sound going out?
You could quadruple it and it would still not make a difference.
@@soundproofguide Wrong.
@@JokerScribe how so? Is there a test you can show me?
@@soundproofguide to the human ear im pretty sure it Does make a differnce 🤔
Then how do I prevent noise from my room to hit the outside.. I don’t understand
Reverb echo!
I think before you made this video you should understand the difference between sound proofing and sound treatment. Proofing is completely removing all sounds coming from outside your room. Foam absolutely CANNOT achieve this. As far as sound treatment goes foam is still a terrible option. Rockwool is the way and only way to go
So how do I stop sound from going outside
How do I stop sound from going out form a Hall
Is there a way directly contacting you? About questions I have and wanted to show you
Info@soundproofguide.com
Can you test a room where you only use the foam shit on the walls and see if it reduces the sound at all?
Not sure if you're still responding to comments. But I have a room with 3 windows and a basement my Suegro can let me rent out that has only 1 basement window; If I use the right sealants and such can it semi-sound proof the room.
Has a lot of reverberance but the goal is to be able to work in an environment where I don't disturb my spouse while gaming late and when I do voice acting which is not shouting base but rather normal office level speech.
Hope this makes sense thanks~!
Hi ATARi, Sealants will make a bit of a difference but it's mostly a finishing touch when soundproofing and not the main element you would use to drown out your vocals. You would need to add mass to block the noise but since you're renting that might be difficult
i watch this video weekly due to the way he pronounces "acoustic"
Thanks for this vid
I drink beers with my buddies in my basement and she says she can hear our voices on the 2nd floor. The room is 14x14 with a bar lol. You think some well placed cheapo Amazon panels can help to get her to stop busting my chops.
Ok let's say it .
Acoustic panels decrease Echo.
