$20 vs. $300 Door Soundproofing - Real World TEST

[@davidsanchezaraiza9889]

Do a hollow core door and solid core door comparison test!

[@AL-lh2ht]

neve buy a hollow core door besides for price reasons lol

[@soundproofguide]

It’s coming 😊

[@MichaelT-ft3cz]

I moved into an old house that has a solid bedroom door....WOW. I have always had hollow doors....it's astounding how much sound this one blocks.

@@soundproofguide insulating inside an electrical socket is a terrible idea. They are DESIGNED to have that air gap to dissipate heat and insulating them from the inside has two obvious risks, the first one is someone inadvertently using a conductive caulk and the resulting electrocution risk. Also insulating electrical wires reduces the wires capacity to carry an electric current safely by around a quarter. If a fire broke out, the insurance company might classify the caulk as a cause and an uninsured modification to your home by an unqualified person. Mass, weight and sealed air gaps soundproof the best, you could try and make a wall panel and compare the results. Different kinds of wood reduce different frequencies. So it is important to first understand what frequencies need to be reduced.

I did a door sweep and weather stripping on a hollow core door, it made a significant difference but the door itself is a major weak point. I'll be hanging a moving blanket it on to hopefully dampen some of the seepage through the door itself but I don't think there's and real hope for a hollow door.

Thanks for taking the time to test this, very helpful! Love this channel

[@soundproofguide]

Appreciate your comment! 😊

[@jackkennedy9475]

Yeah very helpful. I can see the benefits of each and how to prioritize.

[@343ramana]

Really terrific video. Very informative and thorough.

[@soundvibestudios]

Amazing video you literally help me for some finishing touches when we’re done the diamond room recording studio👍🏾

[@josephdominguez1070]

About to try this, have a sales job and had complaints from landlord, I think this will help a lot or at least show I am trying to accommodate the housemate, room to room sound a bit

[@andrewmalati8676]

I've searched quite a few of your videos, what would be your recommendation for sliding glass doors?

[@User.k3431]

I also would like to know where can we purchase an acoustic panel in Canada ?

[@LCMessinger]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@Falconguygaming]

Do you have a sound meter recommendation? Going to need one for work(im taking charge of soundproofing the warehouse) but will also be able to take it home to work on the house

[@Poizik]

is that door sound blocker panel in the description?

[@issaciams]

Ok I have 2 doors already but im trying to block noise from my room escaping into the main house because I am up at night watching movies and playing music loud. Will these methods help keep the noise from getting out of my room too?

[@Hello-mu1et]

Wanna use it for door that got many windows and 1 broken window. Hope it helps. Literally can hear anyone talking from main floor.

[@jcberb]

My only concern would be air circulation. Unless the room has its own air supply and return, when the door is closed you could have increased pressure and little to no air flow.

[@jaisonmathew2527]

Hello good sir! Where did you get the door panel from?! I don't see a link

[@sizhetan4564]

@@soundproofguide thank you for replying, the door panel is apparently 900 dollars which is way out of my budget, do you have another door panel that you recommend ranging from 100-200 dollars?

[@fenixangelzamo]

I have a medium size idea for a windows can you use an acrylic case with vacuum inside? Isn't that hard to make it and can be translucent, does anyone have done this?

[@Skana]

The video he uploaded a year ago, "CHEAPEST Budget way For SOUNDPROOFING a Room" links soundproofing hollow rubber weatherstrips in the description. Here he links rubber foam weatherstrips. Anyone know if there's a significant difference? I know that in headphones foam usually provides better noise isolation than silicon tips, but I'm not sure that's relevant here.

[@Jordan-ws6jy]

For a second, i thought you were going to use layers of receipts to soundproof the door 😂😂

[@DarkTrapStudio]

Half the perceived volume is only 6 decibels not 10 :)

[@MichaelT-ft3cz]

And actual volume is 3 decibels (for anyone reading)

[@DarkTrapStudio]

@@MichaelT-ft3cz Actual volume ?

[@MichaelT-ft3cz]

@@DarkTrapStudio Like, how sound volume actually is (since it's logarithmic)...Opposed to how our ears perceive it

[@DarkTrapStudio]

​@@MichaelT-ft3cz 6 db SPL is mathematicly and perceived, It depends on the Db unit (Dbfs, DbVu, DbLU, Dbu....)

[@consumerextraordinaire8209]

can you fill a hollow door with concrete?

[@soundproofguide]

No.

[@consumerextraordinaire8209]

@@soundproofguide have you tried it? sounds like it make a great video

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

No link to the door seal kit, probably cause is not Amazon and you can't get a affiliate? lol

[@soundproofguide]

Sorry, will find it and add it now. Thanks for letting me know!! Cheers

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

How is this new? lol You have made this kinda of content before. Sound proofing is EXPENSIVE, you literally need to rebuild everything. Putting a gap under door does almost nothing lol to have any considerable amount of noise reduction, you have to put solid barrier on top of solid barriers. There is no way around that. People who live in apartments are pretty much fuked.

[@soundproofguide]

You’re right that soundproofing can be expensive but watch the 4 before and after sound test and you’ll hear that you can considerably reduce noise without breaking the bank.

[@Cormano980]

Problem comes from the gdamned neighbours, no matter how much you sound proof the vibration still transmits through walls, stomps and hard floors don't go well together You need to get your room completely empty and redo it from scratch,floors, ceilings and walls, costs a ton no matter how you tackle it, even diy materials are expensive
