    Thank you to Craftsman, the sponsor of today's video. Because of our sponsor we are able to renovate our friends Sam and G's basement while testing out Craftsman’s V20 complete tool line, specifically made for the DIYer. Sam and G built their beautiful home but after the lockdowns over the past few years their business suffered and as a result they were unable to finish their basement. We're super happy we could help them out AND film this awesome basement finishing series. You are going to love it!

    I gotta admit. I used pink insulation for sound transfer in my previous house I built and the mineral wool in the new house I just built. I can definitely tell a difference with sound transfer. Old house the pink insulation did not seem to help and I always felt like I wasted money doing that. With the new house I really have a hard time hearing noises from different rooms and it seems to do a way better job. Maybe it's just me or my hearing is going bad with age LOL. Love your videos still.

      will 100% agree with you on this. mineral wool is WAY better for sound control and can't believe all the people actually thinking fiberglass does much for sound transfer especially on interior wall cavities. I've installed lot of rockwool and with it's sponge-fit and more dense characteristics it significantly reduces sound travel through walls. Installed throughout my new home and its well worth the investment!

    Heads up on your respirator filters. You have Organic vapor filters installed instead of particulate. Black/OV = Organic vapors and Magenta/P100 = particulates. essentially you are breathing through activated charcoal in this video which will not stop the small fibers you are worried about. You should probably get combination filters(ov/p100) for your type of work.

    I love the last comment about the waste water pipe.
    Our house was built in 2018, and we didn’t realise when we bought it as a quick possession that the internal walls did not have insulation, unlike in the United Kingdom.
    Whenever we are in our open plan, living room, dining room, kitchen, and either of the toilets flush, you can just hear everything.
    I am sometimes tempted to rip the wall out and re-insulate it.

  • @ptessier73

    I soundproofed an office room like that but only used 1/2" drywall for the walls. For the ceiling I went with Sonopan and placed two layers of R20 between the joists. t didn't want to drywall the ceiling and used a suspended ceiling. Technically, if I need access to the ceiling it is less complicated and work to cut / remove sonopan with a suspended ceiling than it is with drywall. Anyway, the end result is amazing. I get very good soundproofing, so much so that I can't even hear when someone rings the door bell anymore.

    2:26 2:51 Fluffy insulation doesn't really add an appreciable amount of mass. That's what drywall is for. The pink stuff's stuff's purpose-from an acoustics standpoint-is to convert sound pressure to heat as it passes through your wall cavity, and to dampen the resonances that might build up between the wall panels.

    Jeff, I plan to convert my basement into a practice room/theater room, and I'm looking forward to watching your upcoming video(s) on building a theater room. (I've watched your past videos on sound proofing, but I'm curious to see how you build out the new theater room) One thing I'm very interested in, is what to do for HVAC in a sound/media room? I think isolating the room from the rest of the house and not installing duct work into the room might be a good way to go, and instead install a mini-split for just that room, but a mini-split only heats and cools a room... what about air circulation and fresh air? Any suggestions on what to do for HVAC and fresh air into the theater room? Well, I will be on the look out for your upcoming videos.

    • @LiraeNoir
      @LiraeNoir Рік тому

      Mini split is one way to go, especially if you have the budget to buy a silent one.
      Another way to go is with regular ventilation, but with a built-in dedicated baffle for your soundproofed room. Basically make a box where the air can't go straight, and isolate the box. You'll find article and UA-cam videos on that easily.

    • @HomeRenoVisionDIY
      @HomeRenoVisionDIY  Рік тому

      for fresh air best to install an air exchanger or a fan in the ceiling that only blows out. you can set it on a timer to exhaust the air in that room while not in use and bring in fresh air. and always leave the door open when not in use.

      Depending on whether you have 2x joists, TJIs, or something else, you can use the RSIC-1 EXT04 or RSIC-1 LP. Both are a bit pricey ($8/clip) but allow you to choose the exact height of your ceiling. Since we're picky AND cheap, we ended up finding a great deal on RSIC-1 (normal ones) in bulk and added blocking between our TJIs which gave us flexibility on exactly where we put our hat channel. 2x 5/8" drywall and minimal penetrations, and life is good!

    I plan to redo all of the flooring on the main level of my home. If I were to put down a layer of MLV on the original subfloor, then another plywood subfloor on top of the MLV, would that help at all to reduce impact noises in my basement? I have a home office in my basement, and I can hear every step from people and dogs, as you mentioned in the video. Unfortunately the insulating I did to the ceiling of the office when I built it was not enough to reduce the noises. But maybe a layer of MLV sandwiched between two layers of plywood on the floor above would?

      when it comes to sound reduction both mass and the type of flooring have a huge impact on overall performance. mlv and another layer of subfloor will help a lot. if you are using a hard surface flooring then consider a cork or abatek underlayment as well.

    We live in a home where we have a crawlspace beneath us. Whenever they installed the flooring, I'm sure they didn't use any underlayment & if they did, it's horrible. You can hear every creak and footprint throughout the house.
    Is there anything I can do from the crawlspace side where I don't have to tear up the floor and start all over again? I'm guessing the insulation could work but wondering if that's the best solution
    P.s. it's a 40 yr old home and had been upgraded in most areas, the flooring being one of them it's just that the flooring is so stinkin loud

    Great video. Does the R value have a major affect on the sound proofing? In your video it looks like you went with R20. Would it make sense to assume that the higher R value the better sound proofing? Lastly, would you recommend buying pink insulation for 2x6 walls instead of 2x4 walls because it's thicker? Thanks and love the content. I am a fellow Canadian who has been watching for years!

      r value has no relationship with mass. 2x6 is more mass and therefore more effective.

    The pink fluff is like a small amount of cotton wool inside your guitar or violin, it slows down the reverberation in the 'sound box'.
    This is important to know.
    Mass is not needed, just some, and very loose. More density the worse the SOUND insulation, but you must have some.
    High density in the sheet material is what is needed.
    The heavy sheet material on the wall slows the high frequency sounds.
    Long deep sound is always difficult to stop, just like in the ocean the long slower waves travel 1,000s of miles.
    Now a second structure with cladding on both outsides only is very effective, includes a little fluff to stop echoing inside the walls.
    Remember how far a noisy drill in a concrete building will travel, so solid materials carry sound easily.
