Videos are awesome and very insightfull... But it would be nice to see one for people who live in apartments/condos who can't rip off their wall, floor, or ceilings. Also, any suggestions on how to soundproof a walk-in closet without having to rip off the wall, floor, or ceiling?

unfortunately there is really no way around it without doing construction. You can acoustically treat your rooms so they sound better.

its four months today as this video posted and this is exactly what I am looking for

[@soundproofyourstudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@messenger3478]

Welp, this won't work in my studio apartment. Can't sleep...neighbors playing loud music!

[@soundproofyourstudio]

Move?

[@jca6682]

If you’re trying to sleep after quiet hours and they play loud music call the cops, then notify landlord. If nothing gets done then sue them for a breach of quiet enjoyment clause in your lease. I’m dealing with the same situation.

[@messenger3478]

I had reported them to the manager several times, but luckily I just move!

Thanks for this, but I looked up the Indo soundproof window panel you were talking about and they sell per square foot. So, not $100, but rather $372 to $588 per window.

[@soundproofyourstudio]

Yes they are expensive - you can make your own indow windows - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3LFoJaYZdegZtU

theres a ceiling corner that creaks pretty loud. ruins my sleep. my plan is to buy: -3 floor-to-ceiling cranking cargo bars -put a ceiling accoustic panel in that corner and hold it up using the cargo bars -maybe wrap some heavy duty cargo blankets around the panel and hang them on the sides or drill into the wall of that corner -possibly add some mass loaded vinyl to the blankets and accoustic panel hopeful this will deaden the snapping and popping sound. its gonna look a little ugly but if i can sleep through the night without waking up, its a success! any thoughts? i live in an apartment so i cant do much. no one lives above me and im tired of wearing earplugs. forces me sleep in the living room right now.

[@soundproofyourstudio]

It sounds like there might be a structural issue in the wall. I might hire a contractor or structural engineer to take a look at it. I am not sure if your plan would work and it seems like a lot of effort and definitely will look funky. Hope you can get some sleep!

Am Early here, just found you out last week as I was looking for a solution to ventilation of my studio, I was wondering why mould grows on my studio desk, and it's coz of accumulated carbondioxide, Edit: am here first 😊

[@soundproofyourstudio]

Hey yes, you saw this video right as I uploaded! So mold growing on your desk sounds like a problem with humidity in your room. If relative humidity levels go above 60% then you can have mold growth. I don't think carbon monoxide would cause mold growth.

thanks for your amazing tutorials. why are doors which have air space among them less soundproof than solid core doors? if it is so ,why do people say have air gap among walls, windows etc to maximize soundproofing? can we say a solid window with very thick glass is more soundproof than a double pane glass you taught to make for your studio?

[@hypnotechno]

goog question. I think its because these hollow doors are not "purely hollow' they have connections between the parts which amplify the sound even create echo within the doors

Less mass

[@bluetech2809]

Great video! What is your opinion on mass-loaded vinyl (MLV)? I've seen a lot of professional soundproofing companies suggesting what you are doing for the walls but also having a layer of MLV before putting on the drywall or putting MLV between the two layers of drywall. Did you skip MLV because of the cost or because you were already confident of achieving the desired result without MLV anyway?

[@soundproofyourstudio]

Hey Blue Tech. I prefer Green Glue to MLV. Based on my research it performs better than MLV does. However, MLV is still an option and can work if you don't want to use Green glue in between your drywall or if the MLV is more affordable. Check out this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnKkfHd9qbeanNk

@@soundproofyourstudio Oh wow sorry I didn't realize you had a whole video on it :D Will watch that!

[@georgew.henkel3182]

You forgot to mention. Sound travels through ceiling concrete as it does in my apartment.

[@soundproofyourstudio]

Sound will not travel as easily through concrete because of its immense mass relative to other building materials.
