Comparing the cheaper gen with harbor freights Predator 2000 gen would’ve been a more equal comparison.

Thank you

It's funny that you americans live in huts instead of actual houses and you need DIY your living space after it was 'built' to reach a level which should be the bare minimum.

You know what the cheapest option? I tell yaa... using a ear plug while you sleep...

How do you sound proof the door latching opening and closing?

What’s with all the hate lol u guys hate to see people with more money than u could dream of

My Camry 2020 LE is so loud it has new Goodyear tires and I bought it 2 months ago. I live on border of Mx so lots of mechanics I think can put it on for me will look into this

And you only have to replace them constantly when they fill up with water and stop working. Cool hack bro.

It's funny because I have a ton of moving blankets but yes, they are ugly.

Also use foam around the studs.Then apply rockwall insulation.Then 5/8 drywall.

When putting foam around a door frame, on the side where there are hinges, you should put the foam on the frame, not on the door stop. That way the edge of the door isn't going to scrap it off.

0:37 I felt that

then here is me, just not caring and sticking them directly onto my wall without a care in the world, lmao got plenty of grey paint spare, so if my walls get damaged i will just paint over it hahah

I tried installing these panels using 4 heavy duty command strips on each panels and the adhesive didn’t hold up well. They would fall down after a 20-30minutes.

weird... i just got plumbing done and they said it had to be a minimum of 100 psi for the house. local ordinance maybe? Florida. any thoughts on that?

I just did what I learned in aviation maintenance. If you take sealant and just lay a thick bead on the door frame where the door normally touches and then take petroleum jelly and rub it onto the door wherever the door is going to touch, the petroleum jelly will prevent the caulking from curing to the door, but it will make a perfect mold. It works even better if you’re able to not fully close the door, maybe back it off an eighth of an inch and then let the sealant cure. You basically have a watertight door at that point not just soundproof. Then add a sheet of 3 inch roofing insulation board on the inside and you’re good to go.

Thank you for this video. If anyone out there reading these comments aware of studies demonstrating the effects of the different colours of noise on the different stages of sleep, please reply to my comment letting me know where I may view them. It will be appreciated.

2:37 Its not CO2 (carbon dioxide). It’s CO (carbon monoxide). Big difference. One will kill you fast. The other is a byproduct of respiration.

À lot of top informations, my fridge is a Beast , I thought I would have to buy another fridge, with your advice I am sure I will reduce the annoying fridge noise a lot.

I have a same honda generator it's a great product

Thx. Unless I missed this in your video, I also alternate stud distance (not sharing studs between rooms). Cost more, but helps.

I like the addition of more than just the usual sound proofing stuff you hear about.

❤ 😊

My house is so well done that I can be loud at 3 am without waking up my mom, as long as the door is closed, it's crazy the difference that closing the door does

Generators get hot, and plywood is flammable. A nonflammable barrier like Hardibacker or fiberglass wall insulation might be a better choice.

The last 2 places we have lived have Asians above us.. they never stop.. abd if you tap the ceiling the my lift the square shaped bowling ball things up and drop on our ceiling.. they push some equipment around the floor that screeches.. they are manufacturing something in these rentals.. obviously not paying taxes.. but should be in factories.. not residential buildings.

but what if I want to keep the noise away from my bedroom?

Omg what a bullshiet

In Soviet Russia, people put carpets on the walls to soundproof the wall from hearing their neighbors.

can't trust this video, when it switched to no foam room you can hear WAY more ambient noise, like you turned off some noise cancelation/suppression.

11:03 where can I buy this product?

CLD mat only reduces resonance and lowers resonant frequency, it doesn't technically directly block or attenuate the sound. For that, you want closed cell foam as a decoupling layer, followed by mass loaded vinyl or some kind of fiberglass product or process in order to block and disperse the road and wind noise. Look on car audiophile forms like DIYmobile-audio for more info.

I found one of the worst sources of noise. In an appartment building I have radiators under the windows for water heating. The pump is about 100 m/300 ft away, and the company checked it and it's OK. BUT in the basement some heating pipes started to make a lot of noise since 4-5 weeks. Pipes in the appartment have some vibration I can feel if I touch them. Local plumbers are stupid so solved nothing. So with a lot of soundproofing - walls, ceiling, windows - radiators would be a source of noise. I don't see how to de-couple them. Isolation will not work - because will stop the heat transfer. Plus the hot air is creating a "screen" to protect against some cooler air movement from windows. Like there is no way out.

Do you have to make 2 sound mazes? One for air in and 1 for the air out? Is this passive or do I always need the fan?

Thank you.

Take them to court. The cameras alone are illegal because they are pointing beyond their property boundaries. I like the mirror idea for the lights. As for the loud music, collect evidence of the disturbances and that the noise is coming from their house, and sue them.

It's so quiet that we can't hear results of test...

a great tip i read on some 3m tape instructions is to wipe with isopropal alcohol before applying it. positive i've never had tape/adhesive come lose again, negative i've damaged the surface of everything i've used tape/adhesive on as the surface wants to give before the tape ^^" should be fine on painted wood but beware of ikea level stuff :P just ordered a 1L bottle from amazon and this will probably last me a lifetime :P

My son is a gamer and talks to friends online, how can I soundproof his room so that we don't hear him talking when we're in the room below him?

seriously sick of seeing them, like a band wagon everyone is hoping on just for the sake of it

I loved the video. i am building a rental unit in my walk-out lower level. It will have a living room, bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. The area is about 858-900SF. The ceilings are 10Ft minus drywall etc. I do not want to hear the TV from my first floor level. I have a contractor that has installed double installation, RC2 channels. and (1) 5/8' drywall. He has not totally closed up but I am nervous as to whether or not its going to work. I am thinking that I need to add the mascelina vinly. I am a very visual learner; and I need to see the process step by step to better understand But most important, I need a contractor that may have the expertise to solve my concerns. Or at a minimum offer consultation at a fee. I live in the Maryland, Howard County area. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Great vid. Very thorough. Thank you

Well., in a sense you helped me. By the time I was done watching, the noise stopped.

Reguand acoustic caulk are not at all interchangeable. They aren't the same product and aren't for the same things. This is totally bogus.

At 04:22 the says "and this one slide it out if the AHU can't handle it" i didn't understand this part. If anyone could explain my regards

I have a TV room with subs. It's down to the studs and has 3 air ducts running through the ceiling (between floor joists; they are low profile) . The master bedroom is above the TV room. What is the best way to reduce the noise coming up the floor and through the air ducts? I thought about acoustic foam, but those are all 12x12 and floor joists at 16" on center, leaving gaps on both sides.

the acoustic foam is for room treatment not sound proof lol.

My future studio thanks you.

Thanks, some of these tips will help insulate temperature too

It would be soooo nice if you were able to make this video much more concise... having to listen to you same the very same thing 3 or 4x before getting to the point is a bit of a drag when your detector is beeping at you. I only made it to the 5min. mark and I'm sure this could've been done in less than 30secs. (including your stories... if you said them just once). sigh :(
