Hello. Thanks for being so generous with the materials. I'm currently soundproofing our basement and could use anything you're offering. Cheers!

Thank you for this content. I need to build an enclosure for my generator in my RV. It needs to be a solid box, the generator grabs air from below, and exhausts below as well. The enclosure needs to be waterproof on the inside. Do you have a video to suggest on your channel?

Thanks so much for your helpful video! I'll definitely be using these techniques x

Looking forward to trying different options to soundproof an apartment. Great channel!

Very 'sound' advice. Thank you.

I really love your technical instructions and advice.

Great! I was looking for different options when SP-ing i door with blankets. Didnt know about moving blankets! Thanks :D

Easy to follow. I have bathroom with knotty alder door and is thin, I will add floor sweep and take door jams off to seal and find weather seal inside of door and because the door is so thin will it help some when I put polyurathane on door.

Super thx! I really was struggling to soundproof my door but this video helped me a lot!

Thanks for the help!

THANKS ! VERY GOOD INFO! HAD BEEN REVIEWING ALL THE AVAILABLE VIDEOS ON KZread! BY FAR THE BEST AND COMPREHENSIVE ADVICE! KEEP IT UP ! THANKS AGAIN!!

Great advise on several soundproofing techniques.

Hey, thanks for the info! So my apartment has a door sweep but a sliver of light still shines through. If you catch this comment.. would you replace with a few mm longer door sweep or is there supposed to be a sliver in order to open and close? Thanks!

We are under going renovation of our basement and we have Stripped the entire wall. We want to sound proof and your web site is very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for the video

Thanks for the tips

Great stuff.

Have you taken measurements? I'm looking at soundproof blankets or mass loaded vinyl to lower HVAC noise coming through a utility room door

Excellent and timely information given the fact that A LOT of people are now working from home in makeshift offices.

I am currently trying to prevent mostly my voice from escaping my living room where I play video games into my upstairs neighbors house. Hanging another layer of drywall is out of the picture as I am renting, so I am looking for another option. If I were to cover the ceiling 100% with 2 or 3 inch acoustic foam panels will that make a difference? If not is there anything I can do or am I hosed?

I actually was searching options to sound proof my studio door and this was great advice. Thanks Man!!!

Hi there. Really good video. Looking to see more content from you and I do learn allot.

Good advice on a big source of noise.

Nice video thanks

nice video and quite educative

Hi, thank you for this helpful video. I have a little less straight forward of a situation that I’m wondering if you could help me with. I live in an old Edwardian apartment building in SF. I just had somebody install one of the original redwood doors of the building to my dining room door frame, which prior, was just an open door frame with the original door removed. I had to have a professional do it, because the molding of the wood of the building has shifted over time, making the door trickier to install. I installed the door because I play classical guitar and I am trying to eliminate sound coming from that room out into to the rest of the apartment. Unfortunately, the door installed has some pretty good sized gaps where the light streams through, and the top of the door is actually not completely straight, so the gap at the top graduates from a bit smaller to larger. So, I am wondering if I can address these larger gaps somehow with weather strips and what kind and method would work best for this situation given the gaps are larger than normal. Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it!

Go to Cliff's Hardware and try a roll of their door insulation made of FELT. It's about 1-inch wide. You can nail this into the wood framing around the doorway. Should help to close those gaps without getting all kinds of glue and foam stuck to the framing.

Is it possible for me to make my own soundproof blanket in my own country? I can't get hold of moving blankets. What are they made of? I did a bit of research and discovered they're made of partly cotton matting.

We rent, and my son's voice is very loud from his room. After sealing the holes and adding the door sweep, what kind of non-permanent solution would you suggest best?

Thank you for your intuitive video.& I would appreciate free stuff as well

Currently building a music studio and found your channel really helpful. Will be sure to check out the website as well, thank you!

Great information

Awesome

I definitely need some for my kids door when they play

I really want to try the door sweep as my apartment door has quite a substantial gap

What kind of blanket is best regarding thickness and type of material please?

Do you recommend using green glue for filling gaps? Or just for glue gypsum/plywood?

Not heard of a moving blanket, are they available in the UK?

when sound proofing french doors, how do you seal the middle between the doors?

great video

can u do a video for a jalousie window type? how to soundproof pls

Sign me up for the Rubber Industrial Door Sweep. I need a couple of those. Thanks.

How about moving blankets inside a laundry closet on the interior side of the french doors? Could it impede air circulation?

Hello , in my room , i have an aluminum door with a glass window in the middle . How to sound proof it?

Learned so much to help soundproof my home office. Really trying to work on having my sound not leave the room so easily. I have 3 kids that are with a babysitter during the day and I talk on the phone for work a lot. I have tried all of these methods, but the door is hallow and I still feel like my voice travels easily and if there is crying you can hear it while I am on a call. Do you think a door blanket would help?

Replace the interior hollow core door with a solid core door. Anything else you try to do will not address the prime issue involved here.

Hi there! Thanks so much for these videos. I am a voice actor trying to sound proof a giant window in my den. I already have a booth but because the window is so big, the traffic noise is leaking into my booth. Do you think using the sound deadening vinyl material and industrial velcro would help reduce the sound the same way as installing sound blankets? I just couldn't find any videos of people trying out the vinyl material so I thought I'd ask. Thanks so much!

Great question Annie! There's a few things you can do in this instance. MLV will help in reducing road noise because it will bock sound and also help absorb the vibrations. So you can definitely use that. I would go with a 2lb. You can also use something like indow window inserts. One thing to note about these inserts is they work very well if you have a single pane window but they don't make enough of a difference with doubler triple pane windows in reducing outside noise. Best of luck!

Would acoustic foams help to reduce the fan noise of a kitchen range hood if it were installed inside the range hood?

Working on planning a rather large acoustical room project. Really the first physical acoustic project I've ever done. These tips are great. I've always been hesitant to try those acoustic caulks and sealers. It seems like you actually have some good hands on with them. What is your direct opinion of those materials in real world application?

@soundproofguide

3 жыл бұрын

Honestly, I find acoustic caulking works just as good as regular caulking, the only difference is that it doesn’t crack over time.

interesting fact, I tried sealing the door really well and in fact it stopped having effect. It seems when you don't have the construction separated from the door by some means, it acts as one structure and the door isnt as good sound separator as it's connected too tight. What helps seems to be mass and layers of some mass stopping sound, too much sealing seems to have effect to some means but too much seal has adverse results as it mitigates dilatation.

What would you recommend for a gap ABOVE a door? Putting a door sweep up there seems a little silly to me somehow.

@soundproofguide

2 жыл бұрын

Hmm it does sound very silly indeed. Is the gap too large for weatherstripping? There are thin and wider weatherstripping you can buy so that could be a solution?

Cool education

I live above a garage and l can hear the opener all the way to my bedroom on the 3rd floor. I placed a rug, layer of card board, and rubber cabinet liner under the rug and failure. Is there anything that could help other than Sony Noise Cancelling Earphones. Plus l share a wall with my neighbor and after their remodel l can hear them talking on their phone.
