Omg this is so practical. I’m using earplugs, a white noise machine and sleeping pills to help me manage lack of sleep due to noises coming from outside my bedroom door from within the house and from noises from neighbours outside the windows. I still get woken up despite having taken the sedatives, and I wake up with sore ears after using the earplugs. So I’m considering paying someone to do this weatherstripping, and other soundproofing things because I don’t want to get it wrong the first time.
Wait a box fan?? What is that??? Please I am in this similar suckish situation. Just moved and the neighbors are so noisy they have some machine that is really loud and she does NOT move that thing. The noise comes through the walls and my mind keeps picking it up and I can't sleep
Great video! If i may make one slight correction. Einstein proved that light is smaller than sound, because light moves faster. So you could see light, but the sound might not make it through. Really great practical application! Keep it up!
The speed of light has nothing to do with it being faster. It's essentially a massless particles. Photons are smaller than atoms and sound is compressed gas hitting your eardrum. The mass and speed properties you mentioned aren't correlated.
If I have HVAC all over my ceiling joists, is there a big difference between two layers of drywall on ceiling vs using safe and sound and a drop ceiling. Obviously both these options will not prevent all noise making it upstairs but is there a major difference between the two.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge here! Great information! Any suggestions for reducing noise from neighbors from a shared wall that is made of brick? Not handy so hoping to find simple solutions that can help minimize the sound. Many thanks!
Thanks for watching! Here's a link to one of that I talk about soundproofing cement walls! ruclips.net/video/V2MToMPFAvQ/видео.html Let me know in the comment section which method you'll choose!
Does it help block outside noise eg neighbours front door slams. As I want to plug the gaps around my front apartment door to block out neighbours front doors slamming…
You never showed the top weather strip applied. Would have been nice to see since you're suggesting the application to be different than the other sides, if I'm interpretting correctly.

I think it is because you are supposed to use a rubber door strip which is something different. He shows it in one of his other videos. It could only be for entry doors though. Your right about the length though.
@@kwirkLAthis is none of my business plus this is a year old, but I figured I’d say that you actually can replace/edit a video if it’s been posted, pretty wild stuff but it’s definitely a thing.
@@frontseatgamingtv1139 must be a fairly new feature cause I couldn't do that the last time I uploaded anything. I assumed "11 times longer" meant the 11 minutes of the vid and he was saying this could've taken a minute to explain
You said at the beginning youd go over which type of weatherstrip is best for sound. Sounds weird but for some reason google (which has gone downhill at verbatim or specific results) can’t seem to focus on that specific aspect and even Reddit discussions are getting into the details of sound dampening but not simply specifying which material for the weather strip itself is best. So this video was a disappointment
My problem with the weather strip application. My door will not close because of that added space from the compressed stripping.

Get a box fan and put it on the floor beside your head. It helps IMMENSELY. I don't know how people can sleep without one.

@@spongedebfatpants1308also hey what about winters. I can sense it will help in summers but what to do in winter
3:39 Fave part 💀

Thanks for the cleaning tip, wasn't even thinking about that!!!
You’re welcome! It definitely sticks a lot better and for longer if the surface is clean and dry.
@@soundproofguide I noticed a difference immediately...Might end up using some foam & caulk...I dnt like drafts...lol
RUclips recommended this video 👍
This channel is a rare example of quality informative content in the s*thole called RUclips.
Oh wow, Thank you. :)

Nice vid, thanks.
Incredible - thank you so much

How did you apply the tape with those brackets?
Excellent step by step!
i applied weather strips to my door and my door wont close at all now what should i do?
Same question
same thing for me.
Me too😂,I'm so pissed off
😢
You need smaller weather strips
very practical.

11 times longer than it should be. And the door bottom isn't covered?

@@kolinbuckley3517 The funny thing is, I don't remember this video at all, and don't find it overly long. Maybe he replaced it after I commented?
@@weekendwarrior3420 I don't think you can replace/edit a video after posting it like that. Did you start taking ADHD medication in the past year? lol

Which side of the door frame you use double strip?
The side the door closes on.
I just need something to stop the thud and slamming door from a slamming door roommate
I tried it, the soundproofing is unnoticeable, and its just harder to open and shut the door.
4:50 Wash using soap and water
Is a small gap fine?
No, a small gap can let in 50% of the noise back into the room.

Can you return my email? :)
Your videos drag on for so long and the results for the sound is nothing, this was a waste of time
Nice helpful to to figure out which points where to apply the adhesive to get it sealed.
What parts are best to apply the adhesive?
