You could make it a lot better at soundproofing by using rockwool instead of insulation rubber. Just make a frame at the frontside of the wood fill it in with 50mm or 100mm rockwool or more and close it with some breathable fabric that way the sounds isn't reflected back by the wood but absorbed by the rockwool insulation and anything that escapes gets reflected back to the rockwool by the wooden door cover and some of it absorbed by it. You gave me a great idea of upgrading this and putting it on my studio door! cheers!

Great video, Im definitely going to do this. Thank you sir!!

Exactly what i was looking for, thank you

Nice video! 👌

This works really well in my rental especially with external grade 24mm 7 ply 9" inside the reveal from the existing pvc double glazing. Knocked my traffic noise down from 44 to 34 and removed all light from the street lights. I still get vibrations from the biggest trucks, and sirens are still a pest, as are the idiots with loud bass sound systems, and the motorcycles with very noisy exhausts, but it's a big improvement. Apparently acoustic plywood also exists, which I found out too late, but would probably have cost more money. So now I need to make a frame to hold the three panes of ply in place (it had to be three panes 'cos 24mm is HEAVY). Can I then put say 1" Velcro around the frame and the front sides of the ply? Or will that leak noise? And will sticky Velcro be sticky enough to stay in place on both sides or will I need to reinforce the stickiness with staples? Finally, to get an even better result, what can I put on the ply on the double glazed side to further reduce noise? And is there anything worth putting on the room side of the ply? There's a downside by the way, in that I don't know when it's become daylight, or that the traffic has become heavier, thus suggesting it's time to get up. I hate alarms, but maybe ......

All the best

i did the same thing but i used mdf and put a layer of second skin on the side facing the window

Thanks for the video Dan Any suggestions for HVAC vibrations/sound traveling through the apartment structure? What is the rubber matting mentioned? ps. remember to repair, fill and paint, the holes made by the attached flanges before the lease expires. Perhaps butting the closet against the window would hold the plywood. Along with soundproofing, keeping heat in the apartment during winter months is a plus. Blocking light coming from the apt. during a zombie apocalypse another.

Wrap it with MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl), you can look it up. Also, something Dynamat would work and it has peel off adhesive, but a more expensive.

Exactly what I need!!! Is it cost effective?

it‘s not convenient for a door once you need to constantly open and close it

Why does every sentence you utter sound like you're asking a question? WTF?
