I want to be able to soundproof my room a bit, I want to be able to lower the noise coming from my room at least by 50%. I play guitar and the walls in our apartment are so thin, lol. We can hear neighbors arguing and probably could make out every other word if they’re yelling. 😂 I can never play guitar that loud or else I’ll get some complaints from my family and the neighbors. 🙄 I resorted to using headphones, but truthfully It doesn’t feel the same and my ears get tired. I want to be able to crank up my guitar where I can play some nice down tuned distortion licks and shred some nice bluesy solos. So this video will help out a lot, thanks for posting! 🎸

[@LADYCHRISBROWN0]

Thanks 🙏

[@alextopic1257]

Thanks for the video, and for all the other videos on soundproofing, I've learned a lot! I have a question unrelated to this video, but one that is relevant to many of your videos on mass loaded vinyl. I would like to know your thoughts on the comparison between mass loaded vinyl and a product called Tecsound SY, which comes in a 10kg per square meter version. Which would you recommend as the best material between two layers of drywall? Again, many thanks for all the great content you've produced on KZbin!

Im confused... I thought foam doesnt work for soundproofing, I thought it was for sound treating 🤔

[@yedips69]

Exactly, he said in another video add another drywall layer because acoustic foam doesn't work. 👀 I'm confuse too.

[@yogeesh93]

Nice.. And is there a way to measure where the sound is leaking the most??

[@JermisCoronado]

Definitely need to get that door sweep!

[@soundproofguide]

It will help!

[@CaseyWilkesmusic]

Cardboard backer is the key! Thank you

[@chillsmith9622]

Acoustic foam is for acoustic treatment, not soundproofing. I know you mentioned it but there’s parts where you said soundproofing when you meant acoustic treatment which could be misleading.

[@simerjrider]

Thanks for the info!!! Your videos are extremely helpful! I have a quick question that I hope you can answer, What would be better to hang over the walls for sound proofing? Moving blankets or 2inch sound panels? (assuming all the walls are covered) because I plan to use one of these for my room as well :)

[@soundproofguide]

Unless you cover the entire wall with the acoustic panels, I’d use the moving blankets. Those aren’t bad to deaden the noise inside the room but does little to stop noise from coming in the room.

[@simerjrider]

@@soundproofguide cool! thanks for the advice!!!

[@tammymeeks774]

I have enjoyed watching your videos and they have given me much cheaper ideas to eliminate sound. But, I'm a little confused because a previous video you advised not using the acoustic foam. Use moving blankets. ( your video made 4 months ago) This video ( made one month ago) you are stating to use the acoustic foam. So, are you saying to keep noise inside a room use the foam? to block noise from coming into a room use the blankets? I'm trying to figure out the best way to block noise from a closet gaming studio that is heard in the adjoining room. Would it be best to use both in the closet gaming room? Thanks for your input! Thanks for the videos! They are helpful in a cheaper alternative! I just want to make sure I do the right thing!

[@jdyn8691]

I belive this is because for the purpose of just gaming he needs to soundproof the gamer and sound from thwir voice other than blocking outside sound from entering hut rather just like rage screams lol

[@Shae8]

Any thoughts on the felt decorative acouqstic wall panels used in commercial offices?

[@Memin_2_]

When gluing on the acoustic foam to the cardboard, does the orientation of the foam have to in different directions? I have it all pointing in the same direction on my door right now, is that bad?

[@jennyk8124]

Great video. Would these tips be good for a small den that I’ll use to do voiceover work? My room is carpeted but has a glass door so it does echo

[@soundproofguide]

Thanks! And yes, it definitely would. You just don't want to put too much and make your voice sound too dead. They say about 20% of the wall should have acoustic panels or foam, but with the glass, you might need a bit more. You could have a sound-deadening curtain that covers the glass, at least when you're doing the voiceovers.

[@jennyk8124]

@@soundproofguide thank you for your quick reply. Do you offer paid consults by any chance? No idea where to start or what to buy. I would like to make my whole room into a recording studio/office space since I get claustrophobic in a small booth.

[@fredvigdor7040]

Love your videos. Most of the time you are talking about keeping sound OUT of a room, but this one is right up my alley. I'm a saxophonist trying to keep the sound of my practicing from getting out and keeping my wife from divorcing me. I have a couple of questions: Will putting MLV on a hollow core door (along with weather stripping and a door sweep) help to keep the sound in? What are your thoughts on making acoustic panels (like these kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYS6Z6eti8hlbdE) vs. using acoustic foam panels ? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this Thanks!

[@TheOnlyErayz]

this guy... deadset legend

[@essdee800]

I have a closet with all my electronics. Might use some of your tips to try and cut the sound down from there. The downside is my wireless router is in there so I’d be blocking sound and my internet hahaha

[@soundproofguide]

It shouldn’t effect your wireless too much, especially if you’re not adding extra layers of drywall and a ton of other stuff in the wall. Just deadening your closet shouldn’t effect the wifi. Great idea with using the closet since the cloths in there will deaden a lot of your noise! 😎

[@CaseyWilkesmusic]

Double sided tape also works very well

[@mathrovert]

Does it matter which style of acoustic foam panel at the link you provided or are all they basically equal?

[@soundproofguide]

I find the 2” is the best bang for your buck!

[@evidenceroom]

HELP! I live in an apartment and my spouse works at home. I'm concerned he is going to be too noisy talking for work. How do we sound proof an open area. All the work pods and work space room dividers are so expensive. IS THERE A DIY FOR ROOM DIVIDER FOR SOUND?

[@user-hw5nq4ut8g]

4:18 is it possible to do just one wall? One wall faces our garage and one wall is an outside wall and the 3rd wall faces the bathroom. The wall I want to do is the one that faces the living room. Also would I need to do the entire wall?

[@TheLocalGent]

i agree when you add "gaming" to anything the price rises, but that also works the same when they put "acoustic" in front of it

[@burnshadow1117]

You're a different type of God

[@loveleah...]

Would you mind offering some advice for blocking the noise at my apartment door, please? We share a common hallway and the accoustics out there are terrible, not to mention the doors are hollow core steel doors and conversations are easily heard from either side. I'd like to have some privacy, mostly want to feel like I can have a private convo inside of my own home without being overheard. TIA 😊

[@soundproofguide]

There’s a video on my channel about just that. I can’t post the link here but search apartment door soundproofing and you’ll find it.

[@loveleah...]

@@soundproofguide Thank you! 😊 I just watched it. I'll do those things, with the exception of the heavy blanket panel thing! I wouldn't be able to handle it. I'm wondering if the acoustic panels you put on the wall in this video could be applied to my door. Do you think that's a good idea?

[@SirOdin-]

Hello! Would this work to keep noise from loud family members out of your room? Kind Regards! 😁

[@regalprivate6372]

will this stop sound coming out my room im starting to stream and record vocals for songs at my house now and need to be able to be loud a fair amount of time

[@prfrag]

did it work on concrete walls?

[@protyper9861]

What if you just put soundproof blanket things on wall then nail the acoustic panels over the blanket. Then just take the nails out when u want take both down

[@IHatePikeys]

So do hexagon tiles work or not? I just wanted something with aesthetic. Thanks!

[@soundproofguide]

They do work, their just more expensive and a lot of cases will not work any better than the cheaper acoustic foam panels. The hexagons definitely do look nicer though!

[@edawwade]

I think you are meant to pull the command strip tab down and close to the wall when removing.

[@hlsghost]

Correct, you pull and "stretch" the strip to avoid damage. Works awesome when done slowly!

[@Chris-xc1tm]

When you get serious and get down to the physics of keeping sound out it is all about mass. Often in my projects the biggest problem is the door. I would LOVE if you could test like 5 different doors from the Depot or something. That would blow my mind. Thanks.

[@soundproofguide]

Great suggestion! Thanks

Do you do consulting? Like could I pay you to FaceTime and you tell me what to do to my condo?

Is there a good alternative to cardboard? I was hoping to get stronger and not as weak

[@soundproofguide]

There’s definitely some flimsy cardboard out there but if you buy cardboard boxes, they are a lot stronger than the cheap Amazon cardboard boxes you’d receive your parcel in. I can’t think of any other economical and easer instal than cardboard. Let me know if you find an alternative!

No, it absorbs the noise within the room, which that’s what your goal is in this case.

[@acappella30]

Acoustic foams have literally worked in 99% of major music studios. Auralex has made millions from studios and while their stuff may be higher quality, Amazon’s products are more accessible and affordable to most people. As a musician, specifically one that only sings a’cappella music, a dead room is vital to recording so I do know a thing or two.
