Jewtoys Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Assuming at least one person on here has experience with soundproofing a room, you know, because you were beating the wife and tired of the neighbors calling the cops. Any tips or specific products to use or avoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Are you looking to finish off a room/basement? or just adding some stuff to an existing room to reduce noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Are you looking to finish off a room/basement? or just adding some stuff to an existing room to reduce noise? Adding to an existing room. I've never had any experience with this and pretty much would like it to be as silent as possible. I don't want my neighbors to end up killing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 What is it for and what are you trying to sound proof it from? Insulation material will help the best things are the foam you use in a music room but it will cover your walls( idk of you care about that) there is also paste you can coat your ducts with so it doesn't transfer through then as well into other rooms, specific double sealed doors are available to reduce noise.

Geeto67 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I know for recording in the past I have hung "eggcrate" panels up. But that is more to kill unwanted echos and reverberations than to keep sound escaping from the room. http://www.acousticalsurfaces.com/acoustical-foam-eggcrate I can recommend a heavy door with a seal at the bottom though - you'd be curprised how much sound can go through a hollow core door and the open slit at the bottom.

jerrodh Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 There are various sheet good products out there. Should be better ones out there than this one probably can find it cheaper too. But just for reference. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/panel-products/construction-panels/fiberboard/1-2-x-4-x-8-sound-board-fiberboard/p-1977355.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for drums, I cannot stand playing electric crap and don't get the full use out of a acoustic set. They make basically a mini room that would enclose the kit but I'm not sure how well those actually work. Appreciate the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends, you can get a similar setup to the same they have at guitar center and it works fantastic. If you want a guy a couple houses down from me does recording inside his house professionaly im sure you could check out how his setup is and talk to him about things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea companies strictly do soundproofing, found someone local who is coming out to check the space out. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for Greg Barcus. :thumbup: KillJoy My dad has worked there for 20 years and they make great products, seems like every movie theater, church or commercial building we go to in columbus he can point out a product they make.
