Laminated windows are GREAT at reducing noise.
I used French casement and tilt-turn windows, with argon gas.
When the windows were locked shut the noise was very, very minimal. UNLOCKING the window but still keeping it shut the noise went up a bit.
And then opening the window, the more open it was the more noise came in.
But the dual pane, laminated, argon gas filled windows were Tremendously quiet! Plus the added security of the lamination was a nice feature, as well.
You needed a sledgehammer to break these windows. No one was going to throw a rock and climb into my house! Plus the lamination reduced the UV light to 3-4%(???) and kept radiant heat energy from coming in. On a hot, sunny day you could put your hand on the glass and it was as cool as the plaster wall next to it! Incredible!
Expensive? Well, what isn't! But it made the house so much more safe and more 'comfortable'--- which was absolutely priceless to me!
This is, by far, the most complete and thorough video about soundproofing I´ve seen so far. As a singer living in an apartment, it´s rather frustrating knowing how complex and expensive can soundproof a room be. But your video has the virtue of showing all the options available... at least in the global market (not in my country yet).
Congratulations for your didactical and clear explanation.
And, by the way, you are very handsome hehe
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Highly informative. Very well done video. Thank you!
So many good options. Thanks so much!!!☺️
Best content I've seen that is not only soothing to listen, to but also very informative. I am going to get Dry Wall (without the glue, I'll use double-sided tape due to renting a room and don't want to make it permanent), The soundproof blanket sheets for outside/inside (same door) while putting the dry-wall outside, and inside as well for the most noise cancellation possible. I will do this same process for the bathroom luckily private in my room, but the neighbor is behind my bathroom so I don't want to disturb or them hearing me as much.
I will use the MLV for bathroom flooring and some sections on-top of the carpet (bed legs from shaking lol). I will also plate dry walls *using double-sided take safe for removal* around with acoustic panels to reduce/cancel echo but for design
Thank you for the great content.
very professional. thank you so much.
This was very helpful. thanks!
Great video!👍 thanks a lot🙌
Great video much appreciate the detailed response in the process of building a Home Theatre in my basement I will once a sheet rock is off there is block behind it is necessary for me to soundproof those sides as well?
Great Video!! Thanks a lot 👍🥇
Thank you sir, this was a great informational video! liked and subscribed
Thank You! So nice to hear! :)
Thanks for the video! I'm going to be building a room in an unfinished basement. I'm thinking about going with one layer of the QuietRock or perhaps something like Sound Break XP. Or would 2 sheets of 5/8 with green glue give me a better STC? I'm more concerned with a higher STC rating for the ceiling. Thanks!
Thanks! Comprehensive overview!
I am curious if you can advice something for sound proving the enclosure for a small CNC machine. It is not only the air born sound, but a vibration also. So from what you mentioned here I can use the floor mats under the machine and weather proving on the door. But how can I reduce the noise and vibration that come through and with the walls? If I make the walls with 2 layers of thin plywood with something in between them, what would it be? Rockwool? some regular towels maybe? I was even thinking about a yoga pad... Any suggestions about that specifically or the enclosure sound proving in general?
Great video, thanks!
When installing T&G hardwood flooring that is nailed down, is there anything like MLV to use under the hardwood and over the subfloor to cut the noise of foot falls? The nails used will probably go all the way through the subfloor. A floating floor won't work in this situation. We will have access to the underside of the subfloor so that's an area where products could be used.
Is lead not used anymore?
Thanks for this video. Can you please recommend from where I can buy the same blanket as it's not available on Amazon since long time? Thanks.
Do you have a video on which doors work best (those OF the Solid doors obviously they will be solid and not hallow) thank you!
Thank you so much, liked and subbed
Wow good information
Have you had any experience with flooring underlayment but used on walls?? they have a STC 50 rating and above which is pretty close to MLV
Thanks for the work done ,what an we use in atent or what type of sound proof can we use ?
im curious as to how i could sound proof a 5th wheeler trailer. do you have any recommendations?
I had experienced a new home construction where the contractors sprayed the ceiling with some type of popcorn like material and noticed how it almost eliminated echo in the room afterwards. I wonder if this technique could also help with soundproofing.
Good day...
Regarding about Mass loaded vinyl..do you prefer this product to put is on a tile floor????
Love the video very helpful. I would like to soundproof my basement ceiling. Any suggestions for the best product to use for that particular job?
Thank you! I’m happy you’re enjoying my content!
Is your basement ceiling finished or is it still open?
Soundproof Guide opened its an unfinished basement that I wanna make it more comfy without having to “finish” it
Ok salamat sa paliwanag...
Thank you for the video. There are other presenters that also agree with the products you recommend. I purchased a CNC machine which I installed in my basement. The sound it makes is not acceptable to my wife. I need a method of trapping sound within an enclosure rather than keeping sound out. Are the techniques you propose the same for trapping sound in ???
I want to isolate engine room noise in a boat. What you suggest?
Thank you
Thanks
a good strong noise kick out warning on all rental business home contracts best sound proofing material ever, I wonder if I can get a patent on this ?
Love your voice
I have a dog kennel with concrete floors, block walls and an unfinished ceiling ( exposed joists). I am looking to reduce the echo effects of the dogs barking. I have 600 sqft of ceiling and about 900 sqft of wall to treat. I am open to budget friendly suggestions?
The one concern I have is odor absorption issues and then how to clean the materials chosen.
Warmest Regards
Eddie
I need advice how to soundproof against fireworks...my neighbors shoot them off from june to august. Loud and jarring i used a decibel meter and it registered 80-100 decibels, plz help!!!
Very good channel
Imagine using every technique combined just for one bedroom. The Ultimate Soundproof Room!
This is my idea.
Thank you so much for the ideas 💕 But I have a question. Is it also advisable to put to put the soundproof blankets with in walls if we're doing double walling?
For that you should use MLV. 5/8 drywall then MLV then 5/8 drywall again
Hello I am a restaurant owner, recieving noise complaints from our neighbors, what type of layer would you Recommend. I was thinking quiet rock, Mlv, Studs, insulation inbetween, another layer of mlv and then another quiet rock. Putty pad on all electric outlets, and green glue sealant to seal everything. And green glue to stick the quiet rock on the wall. Is this my best bet ?
First, thank you so much for your very informative and well articulated process, application and choices. I have been watching videos on soundproofing and found yours to be the best, by far (no, I am not related). The project I am interested in is decreasing the sound between the upstairs and the below downstairs bedroom. To avoid demotion of the existing ceiling in the downstairs bedroom, I am thinking of: 1. Apply a MLV product, then the channels and then 5/8 sheetrock. 2. Will installation of the MLV via staples ok or do I need to glue to the existing ceiling? 3. Will this process be enough protection so that the downstairs occupants wont hear the upstairs TV or walking around the room? 4. Should I purchase the sound protection sheetrock you talked about vs regular 5/8 or is the difference not cost effective? 5. Lastly, do I need a soundproof experienced installer or can a contractor handle this job? Thanks again for your help.
Hello we are people who fellowship in atent but our neighbours are complaining of the noise. What should we use at the moment thx
Hi. I Have a water pump installed in the wall behind the toilet that is making noise in my neighbors apartment next door because the wall is very thin ( 10cm ) . Is there a way to somehow block the noise without taking my side of the wall apart ? The problem is that i only have a small door next to the pump so my reach is limited..Is there some kind of spray that i can use for the wall area around the pump or maybe a fabric that i can put over the pump?
Regards from Berlin. Germany
Firat one has to conduct a noise study to figure out what frequencies and amplitude your working with so someone can figure out a strategy and plan on blocking that energy from going in/out of the room/building and if there is a specialized application. ie. Home Theater/audio listening room, etc.
I live in a concrete block, which is open plan....this open plan includes the wall which is shared with the elevator. And this wall is where I will do soundproofing, against air and structural noise from the elevator.
Should I do the WHOLE ceiling, or is it ok just to do the 1.5m area near the wall? (Doing the 1.5m would be better financially and aesthetically due to the layout of the kitchen)
Hallo, you are great at presentation. Thank you so much. Have a nice day. Feemale single, located in Tashkent, O'zbekiston.
can we insert drywall in windows. will this sound proof windows?
I have a wall with my neighbor's stairs and front door on the other side. I hear people stomping up stairs and slamming doors. The wall is paper thin. What is the best material to use for this wall.
How does using silicon as a sealant compare to Green Glue?
FYI...The blankets and curtains are NOT soundproof! They are SOUND Dampeners! They are an acoustic treatment to help reduce audio reflections in a room. They do very little in reducing sound from escaping or entering a room.
They are limited in the frequency range and amount of attenuation.
thanks!!
ANYTHING is better than nothing.
What do you mean by "batt insulation may provide better sound proofing value, but people still gravitate to mineral wool"? Do you mean financial value, or sound proofing value?
my question is it possible to sound proof a wall from bass sound coming from one direction
Can do a video on soundproofing a pool pump or perhaps a plastic Rubbermaid container which goes around all of the pool equipment?
I certainly will! I have a pool and will use my pool pump as an example in the vid. But since we’re expected to receive around 12” of snow tonight we’ll have to wait on the pool pump vid for another month or so... 😂
Do you have a video about soundproofing with cork panels ?
I don’t, I’ll add it to my list!
What is the best material to make a basement out of, to keep the loud crys inside? Asking for a friend.
LOLOLOLOL. I always think of this as Im looking to soundproof my space for VO work, I feel like I need to explain so someone doesnt think Im a serial killer.
What about plaster walls?
Good
Should I add a 5/8'' drywall directly to my current 1/2'' wall using Greenglue compund in between? or use Mass loaded vinyl in between?
Mass loaded vinyl if you can afford it and yes, 5/8” over top.
Hi guys how quiet home studio room is in db?
DIY walk in closet studio materials?
Whats your thoughts on sonopan, also do you have any ideas on how to sound proof a mechanical room ?
Sonopan is a great product at 31 dollars it’s quite cheap along with rock board 80 by roxul a combination to use
I just wanted to know how you think a foam mattress pad would work for sound absorption or for sound proofing a mic booth, or if you think it would work at all? I shopped around and noticed that it comes in various sizes, density, thickness, patterns and colors. It's also fairly cheap and can be cut to any size or shape and pattern that you want for the proproject. I thought it might work pretty good but, I've yet to use it. Plz let me know what you think.
If you're doing voice over stuff it would work well as a make shift panel to treat acoustic reflections
Elgato foam works.
I'm glad I found this because I need to soundproof my daughter's bedroom wall.... my neighbour's son room is the adjoining house and his room is on the other side of the wall and he talks very loud in the evening.
Can we use Rockwool ? Between the Walls
Certainly
Thank you, I own a studio apartment next to a paradise beach but noisy neighbors have it unliveable / unsleepable.
Let me know if you used any of these tips and how it worked out for you! 😊
Had same problem, found out a gun works very well
i'm honestly considering building a wooden frames and adding pillows to make acoustic panels. it might me the cheapest solution to isolate my home theater
Try adding some acoustic insulation like rock wool. It’s a ridged insulation that would work good as a diy panel i side a frame.
@@soundproofguide i don't think we use these type of insulation material in our houses in middle east all the houses here are built with Concrete blocks and don't need this type on insulation. that's why it's difficult to find them and very expensive when found. I've been watching videos left and right to find something affordable here since i'm moving to a new house and the home theater budget can not be high when you consider what you have to buy through the rest of the house.
How do I soundproof my sons room who is a gaming sound caster and yells and screams a lot where we can all hear him through the walls.
At 11. You forget to put the video into video link
SECOND i would like to see from how to soundprofing antiminer machine ?
putty pads, green glue and whisper clips are HELLA EXPENSIVE
I am looking to renovate my previously "finished" basement but i can hear every little footstep, anything clang or bang on the floor or counter from anywhere in basement, but voices and music not so much :). floor creaks as well (and i tried floor screws). So can I take care of this issue from the basement ceiling? and what is the best way?, looking to rent it. but will never be relaxed the way it is at the moment.
O lo l

have watched all your videos and they are great. Used most of the items that you have talked about but having trouble getting MLV or soundproof blanket at a reasonable price in Canada. Trying to soundproof a door in an apartment.
Thanks! Happy you’re enjoying the videos! I know what you mean when buying things in Canada! It feels like a rip off compared to the US prices.
@@soundproofguide I did use silent FX 5/8 drywall in a bedroom and it really works
@@frankschopp8748 It certainly does! Thanks for sharing. :)
Expensive but thick plexiglass in windows works but the takeaway is you can’t open them. Drywall 5/8 is Heavy to lift
At 2:02 minutes, Two tubes per XX feet of drywall". I suppose you meant a 4' x 8' drywall panel but it is garbled.
Making shop has power tools like angle grinders on metal a lot I need less get out of a shop i am making so no noise complaint
resilient channels will create an air gap, will that make it mandatory to install two layers drywall?, so that the added mass cancel the air gap disadvantage(if there is one), thanks
No, not at all. And the air gap is THE advantage of reducing noise transfer between walls.
I would still add two layers of drywall if the budget allows. It will simply add to the sound reduction overall.
Let me know how it all turns out! 😊
I thought to really, REALLY soundproof a room you built a second wall an inch away from the initial wall, which creates a dead air gap and eliminates sound vibrations being passed to the newly installed drywall via screws, nails or adhesives connected to the outer wall.
Noise reduction requires the disruption of sound waves. Nails or screws connecting one wall to another allows for the vibrations to shake both walls.
I've seen this double walled construction done in offices that require total privacy and noise abatement. Plus the use of solid wood doors!
It does!
yeah I just have one wall I need to sound proof because of driving by cars...
Solid doors?
Yup. Solid doors versus a hollow door. Makes a difference
installed the rockwool soundproofing in a wall between two rooms, big fail!
Really?!? Tell us more.
@@soundproofguide we're a small motel, we had a problem with being able to hear conversations from the room next door, we installed 31/2" rockwool "safe & sound" then covered it with 5/8" drywall. it helped a bit but could still hear what was being said through the wall, very disappointing. thinking about useing that sheeting you showed in video between two layers of drywall on the next room.
@@lissaklopf9337 I bet some mass loaded vinyl would do the trick...and yet another layer of drywall. Better yet: An air gap between the two walls.
Lissa Klopf ... ok 3 1/2” that is already the biggest problem by himself ... in your case I would build two 3 1/2” or replace it with a 6” wall ... then double layer drywall on both sides of the wall and then maybe put MLV between the two drywall layers .. I would say that’s what I would do
You forgot to mention lead sheet...
1:59 2 tubes per sheet? Are you nuts?!
I’m the 🇬🇧 and green glue dosnt get a good review here , it’s a gimmick at high cost , it’s just the same as the glue you use for vinyl laying
Oher toutube videos rubbish the green glue and call it a complete waste of money. I dont believe you should recommend any expensive product without doing an acoustic test to see exactly how well it works. Without being able to back up what you say with acoustic test results the infomation cannot be relied on for any of these very expensive projects.
No Air No Sound...... its easy !!!
If you want to sound proof a wall, just pour sand in after the wall is done. Better yet, make a fluffy compound with a lot of sand in it, that dries into place, so you don't have sand come out of it everywhere if you put a nail in.
i am a company in china for making soundproof products, if you have good suggestion ,kindly contact .
Are you aware of the echo in your commentary? drops your your credentials in this field!
You forgot CORK PANNELS !
Haha, get it? "sound proofing paint".... "see results"? BTW, insulation isnt used in construction to keep air out rather reduce heat transfer, which is actually made worse by air movement. Vapour barrier and acoustic sealant are used in construction to stop air flow, which is a problem due to condensation.... but this isnt a construction channel so I'll shut up now.
Green glue is a myth...any glue would do the same job...
I’ve been told it’s a waste of money and a gimmick here in the 🇬🇧 I am thinking of using vinyl laying glue , it’s runny and sets like rubber
@@bellazroddaz the only practical use of glue between plaster board layers is to prevent it vibrating but I just used more screws than needed to fix it to the wooden frames and it was very solid afterwards
@@PYM_official good idea , I’m putting in a resilient channel so screwing is limited 🤔
Thanks for for ur response though 👍
You have to take his word for it - there are no tests in this video; just claims.
Please speak in hindi
Coming right up. 😄
Lost me at “five-eight-inch”
You lost me at "green glue". Snake oil
I have to agree, it doesn’t work as well as a lot of other soundproofing methods.
It’s an older video that I’m getting ready to do a big update on! Thanks for the feedback.
Jesus wtf you’re using way too much green glue. Literally 1/8th a tube is more than enough on those 4x12” gypsums
The more you use, the higher the effective bulk modulus - the viscoelastic properties that help with sound transfer are also less apparent with a higher fill ratio.
