Soundproofing Rooms


As people evaluate privacy more and more, it is necessary to soundproof the rooms they are working or living in.

In apartment houses, it is especially necessary to proof your apartment from noise that comes from outside and from neighbors. But of course it may be necessary to make your home or office sound proof, if you are for an example a musician and you do not want to disturb other people while practicing or if your home is near a bigger road.

You can choose between various materials that suit for soundproofing and these are different for ceilings, floors and windows. As we know, windows and doors may be the weakest points when we talk about noise that come from outside. Fortunately, nowadays the manufacturers of windows and doors have applied special sound blocking materials to their products so that you do not have to do it yourself. In addition, if these extras are applied by glass works, they are more effective.

These days you do not have to do the job of sound proofing with sawdust or absorbent cotton as your parents had to. It is much simpler now – if you want to proof affiliations of walls or floors you can buy special foam and easily spray it on the place where you want it to be. In addition, it is more reliable and its sound proofing coefficient is better than the ones that were used before.

As the density on human settlement is increasing, it is necessary that people would have the possibility to block themselves from noise that comes from outside their home. Fortunately we have different possibilities to make our home soundproof.

I am interested in sound reduction foam to reduce street noise sound through the windows of a special purpose room. I am especially concerned with low frequency noise.

There are 2 windows in the room.
One is 24 inch high and 95-1/2 inch wide.
The other is a bay window with 3 panels, all of which are 71-1/2 inch high. The center panel is 61 inch wide, and the two side panels are 24-1/2 in wide.

I would anticipate placing the acoustic foam on pieces of plywood to hold them in place, and fit the plywood over the windows.

Are your products suitable for this purpose? Could you please send me the sound reduction specifications for the highest noise reduction product.

Thank you very much.

I'm looking for an easily assembling sound-proofing solution, which requires NO destruction or renovating of the house. I'm looking for both blocking and absorbing sound for my studio. I will be using low, mid and high frequency ranges in my recordings and jam sessions, from drums to bass to keyboards to vocals….
What do you recommend?

Is there a good 1 piece sound blocking and absorption for a home studio in my basement?

What about the Soundproofing Assembly For Use Over Existing Walls?

Which would cause least damage? Maybe I am missing a better solution?

What would be the best, and what the cheapest solutions?

The area size I'm working with is 15ft x 12ft and 7ft height.

And then we have the ceiling and floor and door. Also a small widow that can have an Bass Wedge Studio Foam inserted, because it’s built a foot deep in the wall???

we have a basement suite in our house that we're currently renting out. We can always hear the tenant talking or shutting the kitchen cupboards. We have laminate floors upstairs and the house is only 2.5 years old. How can we block out the noise with little effort? how can we block out the sound without having to do major renovations?
