Me and my family lost our home in the California wildfires as a result we are forced to live in what I consider less then desirable housing with little to no insulation and very old single pain windows so everything we say or do in our home is heard by the entire neighborhood almost like on an entercom. This is very very troubling to me mostly because it's not a good neighborhood but also because I greatly value my privacy. Your tips and tricks have helped us to regain some of our privacy as well as to ease my mind. Thank you.

[@surg23]

Not sure what type of air-con you have but my wall mounted unit leaks so much sound from the outside I can hear my neighbours conversations in detail. I actually have more sound coming through the air con vent than my window, which is not insulated at all. All I have found is insulating strips fro around the edges, but no results for dampening sound coming through the unit.

[@moniquel7889]

I nailed up several quilts over the bedroom window to reduce the train horn noise. Ran the nails down sides and bottom too plus bought a white noise for babies machine. It's helped a lot. Can still hear the horns but they are very muffled now. It's a cheap quick way to reduce noise a bit. I hung the curtains over the quilts so you don't know they are there.

[@soundproofguide]

That’s awesome. Sometimes the simple things helps a lot!

[@veronikalarocque7636]

Great video! I live in a VERY noisy city-neighborhood and we often deal with firework noise. My building itself is very soundproof (rarely hear neighbors, on the top floor), but there's A LOT of noise that comes in through closed windows. To handle firework noise (for when we're sleeping, and for our nervous dog), what would be the best method? We have 6 ft by 2 ft windows that have a deep sill (about 1.5 feet). Would a layer of acoustic paneling sitting in the pane, and then a larger one velcroed around the whole window work best? What about around a window AC unit? Any help would be beyond appreciated!

[@verabowman274]

Thanks for this information! I live in an apartment complex close to trains. One of my windows appears to be warped by the area you lock the latch. I think the fiberglass panel could help with the Velcro so that I won’t do damage to the apartment by drilling holes, thank you so much for that recommendation.

I put 5mm thick plexiglass sheets over my caravan window frames. Both sound proofing and insulation were greatly improved. Not expensive and still have great views. Easy, precise DIY installation only involving measuring, cutting with an ultra thin diamond angle grinder disc and pilot holes in the frames and plexiglass to avoid potential cracking when fitting.

[@SamS-tc5qu]

I'd love more information on step 6. It sounds like a perfect solution for me but I don't fully understand the directions. Firstly you mention installing a metal frame around the window, how do I go about doing that? does it need to be metal? Then something with magnets and an airtight seal? id love a video on how to do this.

[@duongquanghuy2023]

He meant that the separate acrylic layer should be surrounded by magnetic materials to make contact with your metal-framed existing windows. And around the magnetic frame of your new layer, add a airtight seal line to fit it perfectly to the gap area of your window. It's like the option with airtight seal he mentioned in the video as well with some silicon/foam band to wrap around the edges. Hope this helps.

Which option would you recommend for noise coming from an outside AC unit. I live in an apt complex and the unit is soooo loud at night I can’t sleep.

[@Weeem]

Additionally, you can get acoustic double glazing. It's the same as regular except 1 pane is thicker. This is so that when the outward facing pane vibrates with noise, the inner one doesn't vibrate at the same rate due to the difference in density. This makes it quieter as less vibration transfers through to the inside space

[@MegoRider]

Wonderful tips! My neighbor is a drummer (who is very nice and accommodating, but the noise is still intense) and I'm trying to block the sound. I already have double-paned windows.

Just moved into a place that is great besides one thing. The bedroom window is close to the AC unit. I didn't sleep well at night the first day. Luckily it's cooling down and we're just turning the AC off at night, but the parking lot is also close to the window so I have two good reasons to soundproof it. It's basement apartment so the window is inside a window well so I have some options to soundproof it. Need to do it soon before winter hits since I want to do it outside and in. Whoever decided it was a good idea to honk at the entire parking lot just to let someone know they locked their cars is a jerk. Dumbest thing ever. I just hit the lock all doors button on the inside of my door on the way out. No noise for everyone else to hear.

[@TaichiStraightlife]

So... if I have a loud commercial exhaust fan on my apt. roof (several feet above my head) that often makes sleep impossible, what should I do? What range of frequencies comprise an exhaust fan's aural attack, anyway? Also, if you recommend foam weatherstripping tape with adhesive backing, should it be open cell or closed cell foam? I've seen different reviews with diametrically opposed views on the subject, depending on the frequency of the noise. And if it's low frequencies that comprises this massive aural attack profile, then what? Thank you for your help.

[@DoritoStyle]

TaichiStraightlife That is a real problem, because it’s touching your roof and causing the roof to vibrate, this generating sound. I don’t know of a way to solve that without involving construction :(

[@TaichiStraightlife]

Wow, that was awhile ago, so many things have happened, mostly Covid 19. This is in NYC & all the bars (the fan belongs to a sports bar) have closed, so: blessed silence. It's one of the few benefits of the pandemic. The downside is, they'd AGREED to construction, to move it a bit... I didn't believe my luck... THEN THIS!!! Are they gonna back out, now ("sorry, we no longer have the money to devote to the fan" )? I know, I know; I'm still lucky that I'm not sick or dead, and millions have suffered catastrophic losses, I get that... still, it's meaningful to me, I can't pretend it isn't, and I do have a sense of proportion.

[@-8_8-]

About that barrier panel. Looked like a nice easy installation. Doesn't look like the store you linked sells them in window sizes though. Would you just stack them? Or are they not study enough to stack 4 feet high across 6 feet? Or is there a more cost effective solution at this size that will deaden what comes through the double pane window?

[@Wendel_Kos]

For anyone who wants to REALLY soundproof the windows: cut a piece of foam called POLYPRESS FOAM SG 80 (minimal 6cm thick, 1cm bigger than the window size) and fold/press it inside the stone edge side of the window, blocking all sound. If its not enough, use thicker or double foam. Then cover with double plasterboard 12mm...And use a lot of silicone kit to seal it. This is how the actual pro's do it in music studio's :) This is extreme and will block the view ofcourse, but its the only way to block heavy sound, like low sub bass. Another option is to use special tripple glass windows, which is very expensive and a lot of constructive work. For people who rent, and have no choice (like living next to a train track or music club) this is a the only real way to block bass.

[@thepogchamp7783]

Hi, do you think we can use caulking for the edges of a window to produce a silicone seal that works better than the weatherproof seal? The weatherproof seal is a bit too big to use over there and the problem is in between the panels of the sliding window as well as when the panel meets the frame

I am looking also at soundproofing my walls.

[@maxxcastillo9347]

That depends on how you soundproof your walls. If you're merely adding a second layer of drywall to make your wall more dense, then your best option would be to use a heavy, sound blocking curtain that sits tight to the wall. If you're building a second, decoupled wall, then consider adding a second window to that wall. You'll have 2 windows stacked front to back, but the air gap between the two will work much better than a curtain would. Just ensure that the interior window is sealed well to prevent sound from making it through the gaps. Adding a curtain in addition to the decoupled window will be the best solution

[@DoritoStyle]

Soundproof windows first before walls. Windows are almost always the biggest problem.
