Holmes has been sue right and left the past decade for Holms Inspections and for this involvement in a building development. Also, heard the house he built for the show in New Orleans had to be torn down it was so bad.
I’m looking that up! 😮
great content, I learned a lot about soundproofing thing from your channel, I appreciate your work,
Thank you! Happy I could help!!
I'm currently in the process of sound-deadening my 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner. I put butyl rubber, then foam, and then mass-loaded vinyl only on the floor and inner firewall before I installed the carpet. The 340 is loud and has long tube headers which is why I'm thinking about doing the same process minus the loaded vinyl and foam underneath the hood and front wheel wells. The factory insulation under the hood is missing and probably contributes to the extra noise and heat. I've also heard of lizard skin and want to spray it in the trunk as well. Do you have any recommendations?
My floor's concrete, but I can hear my downstairs neighbors laughing and yelling so clearly. I think it's coming through the wall, but I can't be sure. I know there's not much I can do with the concrete floor. Would putting insulation in the wall help block the noise?
47 dBA noise floor?! That's the noise floor of an office floor during the day, not sitting in an empty room unless you live near a super busy road. You need to check that dB meeter because it's faulty.
Meters are 20th century tools. Today you can use a zoom f2. It is an omni lavalier that records sound with fixed gain. You can easily tell how many dBs the performance is in different frequencies and compare different places easily and objectively, before vs after, and before renting a space. Subjective performance can also be tested because you can compare actual sound. Professionals never use precise tools because with these tools the performance of their solutions can be objectively judged in a meaningful and accurate way. DB meters are inaccurate and they allow manipulating results by positioning, speaker pattern, microphone pattern, meter filter integration design and settings, etc. A zoom f2 is better than 20dBA but you can go much lower with other mics and recorders.
Man I am trying to build a recording studio control room just now, I can make rooms sound good using bass traps, acoustic panels etc, Sound proofing is a different thing altogether, I reckon making my room airtight I have around a 20 Db drop but, I am going to have to double skin the dry wall to even remotely cut down on bass transmission
Your doors and windows may be 20 or 25dB inferior to a common wall. Cover all gaps with 8kg per m2 material. Then change the door and windows or add plugs to windows. Then adding mass to the walls may actually help.
@@aristotle_4532 Thanks, I'll upload a video tomorrow and give you a look at it. I made specialist double doors that are fairly airtight but as I said I reckon I need loads more mass
@@zambotv8150 You need 10kg per m2 on each door and 10cm distance between the doors a little diffussion and an excellent seal to match a typical wall, so it is not hard..Single doors better than a wall are rare and cost a lot of money. A 10kg per m2 plug using mlv or epdm or even drywall at 10cm distance and some diffussion can bring a typical double pane window to the wall standard if the seal is precise and stepped. Beyond that, improvements require a second wall with 10cm minimum distance but the doors will not longer be adequate. If you can do 80cm distance and use the space for storage, it is even better. In most cases, adding a door and a single sided offset 12.5mm drywall over a steel structure and a good seal is the best one can do for walls. I have seen 70dB spec perform as 40dB due to the door problem, and that is with 1000 euro doors with good installation. At 2,000 euro per door for two and 500 diy per window m2, it can be done, but there are floor and ceiling limitations. A true 45dB is excellent though. Most houses are 10 to 25dB due to their openings. Single pane 3mm with bad seal, rolling windows, typical dual pane etc. The practical design range is 100 to 400hz. Everything above that is always good enough, even noisy mics are above noise floor at mid and high frequencies. Low cost insulation needs a serious sacrifice in space to offset the walls and get the effect lower in frequency. There is a lot of snake oil, but mass, space and seal get good results when used correctly. Even for theaters, thick concrete with air space and extremely heavy and thick doors is the only way to do a multiplex.
I live in an apartment that my ceiling is timber . I have removed the ceiling and added Rockwool. However in one room I can still hear walking on laminate flooring above. Would a rubber matting fixed to the ceiling solve this .?
You would have to install it underneath the laminate floor for it to work. Just adding it to the ceiling will make just a small improvement.
I would think 2" of spray foaming under the floor above would help a lot along with the rockwool to lower sound transmission.
Imagine my ceiling is their floor...it makes not just talking noise but walking too 😢
Problem I see is that if you go thru and soundproof even with double layer of drywall and resilient channel you lose the ability to hang anything on the wall, even a simple wall shelf. Putting up another wall with an inch of air gap seems the only way to retain the functionality of the wall to hang pictures, shelfs, or any heavy stuff.
Our situation, all was 'well', (though our household can get noisey) it was not like people had front row seats to eavesdrop on our conversation.
Only when these multiple property management conglomerates started renovating the units, that is when noise became apparent from the unit above.
It became worse during covid, and the mentally-ill(s) that lurk in the apartment room above us have a disgusting obsession over us.
This creepy surveilancing/stalking, has been going on since our youth and very clear they are paedofillic, protected by the government 'work', they do.

I hate sharing a wall! Doors, doors, doors…🚪🚪🚪
WHICH Quietrock is it. There are like 5 grades and the "best" grade is unbelievably expensive and heavy. Are they talking about that one?
Not sure, but 8 sheets of drywall?!!!?? A simple Google search will tell you that statement is utterly ridiculous.
Why no MLV?
Since there’s a double wall it’s not really needed.
Sadly I can relate…maybe not as bad but the building code is the problem. Builder will build at the level of the minimums. This should never happen.
I completely agree with you!!
Agreed the home builder is culpable. Expensive homes or moderate all the same issues with the shared walls.
Isn't there a fire board wall? a barrier wall between each neighbors dry wall?
