10 BEST Soundproofing Materials That will BLOW YOUR MIND!

[@jamesolelo4406]

Use mass loaded vinyl behind the wall of wood slats. Maybe add acoustic caulking between the two. And if you don't want it permanent, put a board up first to attack the mlv and wood slats too

[@BlackTownie999]

The sound seems warmer and the bass is clearer with those wood panels... also we can soften footsteps with thick carpet pad and carpet.

[@soundproofguide]

It certainly does! And you’re right about the carpet pad and carpet.

[@BlackTownie999]

@@soundproofguide Perhaps the mass loaded vinyl could use used under flooring? I plan on building a home theater in my future basement.

[@saltwaterpurl]

New super energy efficient homes have problems with bathroom sounds being heard in the home, and they use rock wool or dense pack cellulose insulation around the bathroom.

[@ericmccaslin5731]

@@BlackTownie999 It works very well. We replaced all of our flooring upstairs with Audimute Peacemaker MLV and then added a second thinner plywood on top of the Peacemaker. Essentially we now have the plywood subfloor / Audimute Peacemaker / thinner plywood / hardwood floor. You cannot hear a thing downstairs and the rooms are much quieter. I highly recommend doing the same for walls if you are ever building or remodeling a room. Our master bath has the thinner Peacemaker MLV around the walls and it makes an incredible difference in sound and constant room temperature. We live 5 miles from our airport, so I am definitely going to look into a couple window panels as well.

[@JP5466]

MLV helps block sound, but it also channels the sound into other areas... most ppl never mention this. It's much better sandwiched between drywall than hung onto studs.

[@Angellus502]

The pretty pannels at the start are fundamentaly by surface area and thickness still going to reflect 66.6% direct sound, and going to do almost nothing to mid and low frequencys. They will cut back some RT60 ( reverb ) times in high frequencys, and scatter some highs, resulting in a better sounding room, but will do nothing for low frequencys and standing room modes. I've been looking to use them at the side of the listening position to add back some life to a listening room I've over treated with a foot of floor to celing treatment in some area's

I appreciate this channel; I’m trying to make my section of a prefurnished steel building into a recording studio and I’m trying to find what I can to soundproof it. Don’t want any truck noise from outside but I also really want to be able to record late at night

Hey any suggestions for actual heavy vehicle vibrations? New renovation so everything sealed

[@ramkold]

You have no link for the window panels at the end of the video

[@barristevenson787]

Love these videos. Moved to a detached house so sound isn’t a problem now. Still love the content. Any cheap fixes for sound transfer from ceiling to floor ? Anything that doesn’t involve layers of plaster board or ripping up the flooring please.

Any tips for knocking down noise between simple plywood floors in a warehouse? I can get to the underside, but don't want to take up the carpet in the upper room. Would like to knock down voices traveling

[@anonimushbosh]

That window treatment at the end… before you fitted the extra sheet of glass did you have double or single glazing?

[@hybridmx5]

Cost aside. I have jalousie windows. I want to keep the home theather sound inside so it doesn't bother my neighbors so much. Would you get double pane windows, inserts, or both? I don't mind covering the windows since the room will be dedicated for just movies.

What can i do to to stop/remove shower noise and vibration sound from the other room. Is just a wall inbetween the two room. Thank you.

[@briantracy1324]

What do you think of the commercial butyl rubber caulking , stays soft forever...

[@alcubierre-drive]

@soundproofguide We have LVP flooring throughout the house (by choice). What can we do to reduce the echoing? Thanks!

[@barkhabhatia7546]

Can sound dampening curtains cut the low frequency noises coming from bikes and cars.

[@DEMONX62]

Hello, i was watching through your videos because I'm trying to split a large room with my partner for gaming and i wanted to know what you would recommend for dividing a room. I know you cannot 100% block the noise coming from the same room and im willing to spend a bit of money on it. I was thinking sound dampening curtains to divide the room but would this even be effective?

[@fushion999]

unrelated question to the video but I have moved into a split level home and can hear the downstairs washer and dryer running (My pc is directly above it and its quite loud). Anyways I could put down matts on the floor to stop the sound?

[@MoiFidodido1966]

HI. I just found your KZbin channel quite recently and I need some help with my soundproofing project. I live in a condo building and I'm at semi-downstairs so no one lives underneath me. I would like to enjoy my new soundbar with the subwoofer but don't want to disturb my neighbors upstairs from me. I'm at the corner of the building therefore no risk of disturbing any other neighbor. I have had a conversation with an audio-video store owner and he says soundproofing my ceiling wouldn't be enough due to the vibration created by the subwoofer that would go through the walls. Is that true in your opinion? Is this a lost cause in other words?

[@V.Costa-0]

Mate, does the use of felt over the window frame reduce anything? Thanks.

[@soundproofguide]

It would only help reduce the echo in the room. Not much else.

[@micb3rd]

They can work but please be aware the thickness of absorption panel is directly related the the frequencies it can effect, a 1 inch foam or similar pad with wood slats will only effect the very upper mid range and treble. Also that is not really much of effective diffuser at most frequencies due to the low depth of wooden panel, it will again be only effective in reducing high frequencies. Yes room reverberation time will come down but only at the upper frequencies. I would not recommend going to much square area with these panels alone as you will unbalance the room and still not control the mid range and lower frequencies. Studies on acoustic treatments and its coefficient vs frequency show this clearly.

Where is the soundproof window panel from?

[@soundproofguide]

Indow Window

[@gardenjoy5223]

To sound proof your own room from its own sounds, try putting a carpet on the floor. Add a sofa or chair from fabric. Hang up some curtains and decorate with (fake) plants and books. Done. Without spending a cent on extra materials.

[@BeatasQi]

Would that reduce noise from next door neighbors ?

[@spyrule]

please tell me your going to test rockwool in that hvac room... you wont be disappointed.

[@soundproofguide]

I definitely will! And do a sound test comparison!

[@kathleengilmore8238]

Will the acoustic panels help foot noise if they are placed on the ceiling?

[@soundproofguide]

They will not.

[@soundproofguide]

Later in the video resilient channel is mentioned as being the best way to soundproof footstep noise.

lol.... "at least until it snuffed its self out" [Kaboom!] That was funny!!!

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

I really wish this KZbinr stop using the term soundproofing. Nothing he has described will soundproof your room. Only thing they will do is attenuate sound up to around 6-8 dB at most, which makes an audible difference, but nothing like 40 dB of attention needed to actually soundproof your room.

[@nikleiser5888]

Next time please measure the Reverbtime. Its pretty easy. Thank you.

[@Chatchie007]

The poor people that have to try and do work in that house after all the wiring is full of silicone. Use Rockwool like a normal human

[@toomanymarys7355]

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.

[@MAGAMAN]

This video was 99% the same information from the last video I watched.

[@soundproofguide]

Update your thumbnail to “2024” 👏👏

[@MischaGielen]

What also helps in sound proofing: build better houses like they are built in Europe, not the wooden structure with paper walls you build in the US.

[@MAGAMAN]

LOLno.

[@dormantrabbits]

This is anecdotal, but I lived in an old apartment made of brick and concrete and it was probably the worst place for sound dampening I've lived in. I could hear everything from outside. We had a neighbor below that played the keyboard and I could make out the songs he was playing. I now live in a typical American style house made of wood and sheetrock, and I have yet to hear a single neighbor. Its so quiet, I sometimes wonder if im the only person that even listens to music or watches movies. I even test it out by blasting music on my hifi and can bearly hear anything right on the other side of the exterior walls.

[@Tribalking]

Too bad the panels don’t look seamless from top to bottom .

[@soundproofguide]

You can have them go seamless, I just chose to have the black separation.

[@jc.oraclesoundspaces]

Bull absolute crap it’s just a little difusion expensive crap

[@Aiken47]

Why is it crap, show the acoustic measuments that back up your assertion

[@rikardekvall3433]

Show us something that is better and just as slim! That is decorative and has similar or better performance. And if you have a wife that approves the look of the acoustic panels.
