My problem with the weather strip application. My door will not close because of that added space from the compressed stripping.

Incredible - thank you so much

Excellent step by step!

very practical.

KZread recommended this video 👍

Nice vid, thanks.

If I have HVAC all over my ceiling joists, is there a big difference between two layers of drywall on ceiling vs using safe and sound and a drop ceiling. Obviously both these options will not prevent all noise making it upstairs but is there a major difference between the two.

Thanks for the cleaning tip, wasn't even thinking about that!!!

You’re welcome! It definitely sticks a lot better and for longer if the surface is clean and dry.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge here! Great information! Any suggestions for reducing noise from neighbors from a shared wall that is made of brick? Not handy so hoping to find simple solutions that can help minimize the sound. Many thanks!

Thanks for watching! Here's a link to one of that I talk about soundproofing cement walls! kzread.info/dash/bejne/iGaBttGGgKmnprQ.html Let me know in the comment section which method you'll choose!

Omg this is so practical. I’m using earplugs, a white noise machine and sleeping pills to help me manage lack of sleep due to noises coming from outside my bedroom door from within the house and from noises from neighbours outside the windows. I still get woken up despite having taken the sedatives, and I wake up with sore ears after using the earplugs. So I’m considering paying someone to do this weatherstripping, and other soundproofing things because I don’t want to get it wrong the first time.

Get a box fan and put it on the floor beside your head. It helps IMMENSELY. I don't know how people can sleep without one.

Wait a box fan?? What is that??? Please I am in this similar suckish situation. Just moved and the neighbors are so noisy they have some machine that is really loud and she does NOT move that thing. The noise comes through the walls and my mind keeps picking it up and I can't sleep

Nice helpful to to figure out which points where to apply the adhesive to get it sealed.

What parts are best to apply the adhesive?

Does it help block outside noise eg neighbours front door slams. As I want to plug the gaps around my front apartment door to block out neighbours front doors slamming…

Great video! If i may make one slight correction. Einstein proved that light is smaller than sound, because light moves faster. So you could see light, but the sound might not make it through. Really great practical application! Keep it up!

Which side of the door frame you use double strip?

@soundproofguide

The side the door closes on.

Is a small gap fine?

@soundproofguide

No, a small gap can let in 50% of the noise back into the room.

You never showed the top weather strip applied. Would have been nice to see since you're suggesting the application to be different than the other sides, if I'm interpretting correctly.

I just need something to stop the thud and slamming door from a slamming door roommate

You need smaller weather strips

I tried it, the soundproofing is unnoticeable, and its just harder to open and shut the door.

11 times longer than it should be. And the door bottom isn't covered?

@kolinbuckley3517

I think it is because you are supposed to use a rubber door strip which is something different. He shows it in one of his other videos. It could only be for entry doors though. Your right about the length though.

You said at the beginning youd go over which type of weatherstrip is best for sound. Sounds weird but for some reason google (which has gone downhill at verbatim or specific results) can’t seem to focus on that specific aspect and even Reddit discussions are getting into the details of sound dampening but not simply specifying which material for the weather strip itself is best. So this video was a disappointment

Your videos drag on for so long and the results for the sound is nothing, this was a waste of time
