- The most common questions I receive is how to soundproof a wall in an apartment, or any type of rental where permanent alterations are not allowed. These innovative ideas for soundproofing a wall in a rental not only absorb sound but also block it. Incorporating soundproofing materials like mass-loaded vinyl between an adjoining wall and a bookshelf can significantly reduce noise. However, there are specific methods that are more effective than others.

Awesome, but how can you install the curtains on the ceiling without any gaps above?
I can't do a bookcase and the sound is inall rooms , in the lounge though very thick blackout curtains has helped reduce, i think I'll get some for bedroom. Ar the minute have 2 pairs of curtains on the window, not enough as the outside wall is where the upstairs noise is
Try cork tiles Amazon have with adheshive I have done(4 mm thick).
I live in a townhome and I’m having that issue with my neighbor noise entering the master bedroom
Also, my bedroom faces, the road which is a main pass-through the community what are the best options and most economical options to block, road noise and the neighbor.
The wall facing the road, has two windows, one rather large opening approximately 70” x 58” and the other one is a circular window which is 26 inch circumference. They are double painted argon gas
Besides some of the trumped up mufflers, it’s really the sound of the tires on the road that make the most noise or the most frequent noise. I need to find a remedy.
Same, but in an apartment. Have you had any luck? Currently dropping an offensive amount of money on some soundproofing curtains and not too confident about them...
Hi! I’m using two cabinets. Placing them front and back to act as a wall dividing the living room and my room. Thickness is 50cm for each cabinet.
They are full height.
Do u think it’ll be sufficient for sound proofing?
Or should I add an extra dry wall in between the two cabinets?
Tks

What would you recommend if one wanted to create noise blocking partitions or all encompassing walls within a large open space room? For example creating a noise blocking barricade around a treadmill in a ground level apartment where the walls are shared with the neighbor.
Januar lives in the flat above mine and keeps on shouting and sulking day and night. Please suggest some solution sir.
What if the noise is coming from below you, lenders converted their garage below me into living unit so they r moving in soon + they have 2 small dogs who have sharp barks... I can hear them beneath me clearly yet I was told they did soundproof w Rockwood.
Do acoustic panels or acoustic foam have 0 efficacy when it comes to not allowing sound in or out of the room? Or do they have at least the minimum efficacy on that?
Idea: you could hang the vinyl or the blanket on the back of the bookcase unit to still give the barrier but the bookcase will still be functional. You won't damage the wall behind because it's still on the bookcase.
Could work as long as the materials are thin
Hi I live in a rented apartment where the wall my bed is against is a shared wall with the garbage chute / elevators. Is there a way to dampen this noise that doesn't create structural impact? Would a bookshelf that isn't the length of the wall but is directly against the garbage chute section work for example?
Yes it would help minimize the noise if you have it directly in front of the chute.
What about the neighbor above you in a rental?
There’s really not much you can do to soundproof a ceiling without adding drywall or something underneath.

"Extracurricular activities" 🤣
Extracurricular 😂

I was just going to say the same thing😂, i think that we’re talking about two different things when you say “extracurricular” activities lol.
I don’t think we are 😏🤣
Well then the development on where I live these apartments must have leaf walls cause my neighbors are so damn obnoxious that even me talking over the phone is bothersome to those psychotic people. These walls here are very frail and ALL of their business and mine are simultaneously known by both apartment that has obliged me to hinder my visitors if I am to have neighbors of this kind : psychotic and wise guys all of them , y’all don’t know. So I honestly do appreciate your video here and the suggestions as well but if you could , educate us some more on how to yes, block out the articulate words people have in their homes to be kept private, what can be done to these walls to block out sounds and eventually have a heavy and severe silence? When that day comes , maybe I could go back into playing my clarinet, my violin and piano not to mention my singing
So this isn't budget friendly.
I need to quiet my blue heelers barking
I think you need another channel - Cesar Millan lol 🐶
