How to Soundproof a Bathroom! DIY Soundproofing I No More ECHO!

As you're probably well aware, the bathroom is most likely the room with the most echo in your entire home. In this Video, I will talk about how to soundproof a bathroom and also add some noise dampening material that will make the inside of the washroom more comfortable by getting rid of those annoying echoes!
How to soundproof a bathroom? The best ways to soundproof a bathroom will begin by making sure there are no cracks where sound can escape. After you've filled to cracks you will need to isolate the noise within the washroom like the toilet and shower, keep reading to find out exactly how to make this happen.
Like any other room in the house, the noise in the bathroom will come from impact noise and airborne noise.
Impact noise is the result of someone walking around on the floor. When your foot makes contact with the floor, it causes vibrations;
Airborne noise is the sound that travels through the air. People talking, a hair dryer or loud music are all examples of airborne noises.
A typical bathroom has many flat surfaces where the sound will bounce from wall to wall. One of those flat surfaces are the mirrors. Mirrors are difficult to remedy because short of taking them down there isn't much more you can do to stop them from creating an echo; There are, however, many ways to work around this problem.
The first thing on the list will be to soundproof a door DIY. You can use soundproofing material when soundproofing a door but there are many other ways to soundproof an entryway, and I will talk about that in this video. Soundproof Door sweeps are one way to keep noise out but also soundproof weatherstrip will work to keep noise in or out of the washroom.
I will also mention a bunch of different cheap soundproofing material you can buy on Amazon by following the links below to get the DIY soundproofing job done the right way!
You can then Soundproof the Bathroom Floor and also soundproofing the ceiling by using soundproofing insulation. It is not easy soundproofing a room, but it can be done if you follow the steps.
Another method to consider when soundproofing a bathroom wall is by adding a second layer of drywall on top of a resilient channel or resilient noise isolation clips.
I would recommend you use 5/8" drywall and not 1/2" if your main goal is noise reduction. The added thickness will work much better at blocking noise transfer between rooms. A 5/8" sheet of drywall will also look better and feel more sturdy than it's 1/2" counterpart. Check out this article to find out more about the differences between 1/2" and 5/8" drywall.
The resilient channel and the noise isolation clips are both screwed directly to the joist. The second layer of drywall is screwed into either the channel or the clip.
This particular fan has what Panasonic calls "Smart Flow Technologie" and will automatically increase the fan speed when sensing static pressure.
White noise machines will block some of the exterior noise if you're just looking for a cheap, quick fix in making your bathroom more peaceful.

[@jbh001]

A big problem with trying to soundproof a bathroom is that most materials that are sound absorbent are also odor absorbent (and not in a good way).

[@soundproofguide]

What about all the noisy pipes, toilet etc.?

[@soundproofguide]

Mass Loaded Vinyl is the answer to that one. You can wrap this material around pipes to considerably reduce the noise they make while water travels through them. I have a video explaining how Mass Loaded Vinyl work and how to apply it on pipes. It is a very simple process.
