Super cheap is carpet foam. In highschool, it only sounded like a loud stereo outside our garage. It wasn't that bad, considering the foam was taken from a dumpster

[@sauce_aux]

Rock wool and old mattress box springs make excellent large absorbers as well

It felt good to click dislike.

Gatekeeping KZbin likes/dislikes? Maybe someone doesn’t have time. Maybe they dislike it so much that they don’t have time to leave a comment. Maybe if this guy would’ve taken less than the 40 minutes this felt like to give the info, I would’ve had time to articulate all of the reasons I don’t like it. Heck, maybe I don’t dislike it. Maybe I even liked it. Do you take the offense to those whom “liked” it, but did not articulate all of the reasons why?

[@honzikphijamjac]

You know what, fuck it. I watched the rest of this video and I gotta say, I’m absolutely stunned at the approximately 14% of folks who disliked this vid. Here’s why. He started me off slow, damn near put me to sleep by the time he even got to the curtain method, kept droning on and on. Then he hit me with the moving blanket hack, and he started reeling me in just a tad. Little did I know we’d be getting action shots of caulking of “uniform but random” patterns on 5/8” drywall by the 12 minute mark. I’m glad I hung in there, it was a wild ride from novice to experienced DIY sound proofing. A nice touch would’ve been to add some text on the screen at various points with the NRR value or some other metric of sound absorption. Really would’ve added some validity to the overall presentation. Oh. And shorten the fucking thing. 15 minutes could’ve been 7 or less.

Hi Sir, first of all, thank you for the imformative videos🙂 I am planning to make our room (7ft wide 9ft length 9ft height ) as my workshop for woodworking, we are living in a condominium and we are staying at the ground floor end unit. Walls and ceiling are made of concrete. Hoping for your suggestions Sir, 🙂 Thank you and more power

[@mattvieira381]

Do you have a video on insulation and soundproofing unfinished garage walls?

[@Clammiest]

Wow sir, you went above and beyond to bring forth information. Thank you. 👍

[@Rocksolidfitness]

Just soundproofed my whole garage with moving blankets and cardboard I work for a moving company so got them all for free if you do USE A STAPLE GUN

[@Rosana2112]

I was thinking just about that!

[@soundproofguide]

How did it work out?? You should send me pictures [e-mail] 😊

[@lakhiranighosh8883]

Sir. I have a metal fabrication workshop. There is a continuous noise of shearing, grinding etc. It emitts a lot of noise to the neighborhood. The workshop is covered with clay brick wall on all sides and has a door on one side. How do I reduce the noise to maximum like 80-90%. Hoping for a quick solution from your side. Thank you

[@videocongrel]

Lets say i put the moving blanket on the studs, and put drywall over it. So i still have a functional wall. Would that still be effective?

[@w4lknde4d25]

I mean, not a great video

[@soundproofguide]

Haha it’s an old one. Newer ones a better. Cheers 😊

[@ThisOLmaan]

Think thses meodths of soundproofing are by far the best i watched so far, a lot are over the wall, may as well Remodle the whole garage the way they where explaining, man Hats Off to you Mister i really Appreciate Ur time and effort, for the invaluable ideas you showed "&" Provided us with.

Do you have any specific changes when dealing with a detached garage?

[@cheapshotmike1091]

i want to forge, use an anvil, and not annoy the neighbors

[@abaratien]

Same here, just make sure to supress the ringing of the anvil, big wooden base, lead under the base of the anvil, big chains around screwed to the plot and magnet under the horns of the anvil. Have fun modelling steel my friend

[@leosautreuil9715]

so i work at an ice cream place and our waffle cones come in boxes with a lot of foam padding, do you think i could use these to stop some of the sound

Too much

[@yaydriana]

Hi there, I’m a voiceover professional that is renting a house creating my office/studio in the garage. I’d really like a finished look to the walls vs feeling like I’m in a garage. Is there a way to put up insulation and drywall without permanently affixing to the walls? Thanks!

[@actualee]

You can have insulation blown into the walls behind the drywall.

[@jacobpellow2485]

Can I use Mass Loaded Vinyl before I do the 1st sheet of dry wall?

That green glue is utter nonsense. Don’t waste your money

[@enough_is_enough5131]

You said one could use the foam (black square panel behind you on my right) “and once you’re done… “ but HOW do you install THOSE? 🥺

[@dankowarsch8838]

What if you have ocb plywood on the walls not drywall

[@tealmaiden]

What about garage door insulation kits?

[@TripleRRRs4eva]

Can car adhesive sound deadner be used on an aluminum folding up style door? Im talking about boom mat or killmat something along those lines.

[@soundproofguide]

Oh yes! No reason why not!

[@fwiler]

No. It's way too heavy and you'll ruin the motor in your garage door opener.

[@Aaron111486]

I'm going to be building a garage to work on my car and I will have an air compressor and tools and I'm trying not to annoy the neighbors with noise so during installation is there a particular type of Windows Doors I should buy or something I should use when installing the windows and doors and is there a type of insulation I can use or something I can put in the wall with the insulation and about how much would that cost compared to regular insulation

[@soundproofguide]

Good question, if you're going to be using your compressor regularly then I would suggest a double or triple pane window. This will help block the noise of the compressor. If you're only going to be using the compressor once in a while I would suggest something like noise deadening curtains. This will help a bit but not as much as the double pane. Something people don't think about often is to place things on the walls to deaden the echo in the garage. A compressor sounds a lot louder while operating in a garage because of the echo. You can even put acoustic panels on the walls to help with echos. Hope this helps!

[@Aaron111486]

@@soundproofguide I'd probably plan on using a double or triple pane window anyways for insulation purposes and I'm going to have an insulated garage door which will help is there any Pacific door I should use is there something I can put in the wall that would serve as insulation and sound dampening or something I can put in the wall with the insulation I will be using the garage to work on my car girlfriend cars on some other people's cars sometimes I made try to work at night so I would prefer regular walls without putting additional stuff on the outside of the wall just trying to keep from making noise and annoy the neighbors and maybe might complain I'm planning on with the next year or less buying a house and having my garage built the way I wanted instead of having one part of the house

You could also use a grommet gun to add grommets to moving blanket or any fabric

If I have a garage and it's not insulated underneath the drywall do you recommend just going over it with a 5/8 in sheet soundproofing or do you have to take it down and and put a insulation anyway thank you for the video

I meant 5/8 inch drywall not to sound proof boards

Terrible no info

[@beachboardfan9544]

Oooo my god can all of the soundproofing channels please stop with the green glue spamming ads! FFS!!!

[@soundproofguide]

“Soundproofing channels”? There are others?

[@beachboardfan9544]

Yes, and every single one of you has been putting green glue ads in your vids. Even the home builder channels have been doing it the last few months.

[@soundproofguide]

Their not ads, they are simply a product that a lot of people use. Would you have a product in mind that we could test that would be something like green glue? There are a lot of sealants but I don’t know if there are a lot of competitors making the compound.

[@beachboardfan9544]

Riiiight, you all just happen to use the exact same stock footage and have an un-opened tube sitting at your desk... If you use it so much wheres all the empty tubes you could be showing off? Few ppl are using that stuff, its absurdly expensive, not to mention drywall is $10+ a sheet now. Could literally build a staggered stud wall for the same or less.

Don't you mean "thanks for making the effort to make a useful and helpful video" Is free information a god given right to you?
