People would just love to have some peace and quietwhen they are in their room. Keep the noise from coming in while you are having your quiet time or busy working on something that needs your full concentration. Definitely, you could not ask the family to stay quiet there will be kid’snoises, TV shows, and all sundries that will penetrate your room.

To have that comfort, there are ways to soundproof a room that should be simple and inexpensive

Best Ways to Soundproof a Home Room:  

First off, purchase a soundproof automatic door bottom and install it at the lowermost portion of your door. Add Green Glue and paint over it. The door bottom will fill the gap between the door and the floor. This automatically raises up when you open the door and drops when you close it. A door sweep will prevent noise from creeping in underneath and it is cheaper than installing a soundproof door.

Afterward, add some soundproofing to the walls with a damping compound. I would suggest Green Glue Damping Compound Tubes and install it with another layer of drywall over the existing walls. An additional layer of dry partition is needed only when there are extraordinary noises in the house that vibrates the walls like your teens playing the drums or multiple speakers in your sound system.

The least expensive and most straightforward way to set up are mats, carpets, and window hangings. These cushions the sound that travels through the walls and the floor. Cover the whole surface with thick carpets. In most homes, sound waves travel along the floor. Hang thick curtains along partitions and over the windows. Put a mat underneath the door to keep noise from entering. Depending on the noise level, you can opt for customized draperies if needed. Aside from soundproofing, you will have a room that will look beautiful and conducive.

An original approach is to use bookcases and install it along the walls. Fill it with paperbacks and printed materials. This will absorb the vibration and act as a sound barrier, and you’ll have a library as a bonus.

To prevent the rattling vibration of loud music consider mounting items like speakers. You can use insulation pads to keep speakers from annoying everyone  

Preventing Sound from going Out

To the noisy type, they would like to avoid the ear-splitting sound from going out and annoying people around them with their loud music or if you are in the recording studio business or into a band rehearsal. You can prevent this by soundproofing your room.

• Use a new layer of drywall, be sure to use a thick material. Thicker is better since it will absorb the sound. Get as much space between them.

• Use double studs along each interior side of the existing and the drywall. This will create the needed gap for better soundproofing.

• Screw sound clips into the studs, these are installed between the studs and the drywall. An additional barrier for sound will be provided.

• Use damping compounds for your wall, floor or ceiling. This method absorbs low-frequency noise.

• Seal cracks and gaps with acoustical sealant as well as seams in windows and walls.

• Ceilings can be soundproofed the same ways as walls. If there is no room beneath you don’t have to sound proof this, if there is spread a soundproofing mat on the floor.

• Use a door sweep to prevent the sound from creeping out.

• After the proper soundproofing methods had been done and still there is still sound coming out from the room use soundproofing panels. Be sure that it is securely attached to strong structures.
