How To Sound Proof Walls
How To Sound Proof Walls

How to sound-proof a section of my basement?
I am a drummer that lives in townhouses connected to 2 other houses and they get very mad because of the loud noise. I was just wondering how I can sound-proof the walls so that they would only hear a bit of the drums(enough to live with). Anything I can put on the walls? Concrete walls and a wooden floor above me. What could I use and would it cost me a fortune?
We purchased sheet rock called "Quiet Rock" and this did the trick for us. We have a son who is in high school band and his drums were getting us into trouble with our condo neighbors. We purchased enough sheet rock to do his room and the stuff really is sound proof.
Just go online and look up "quiet rock" for a local store that carries it.
How can I sound proof my bedroom? LOL, its not for a dirty reason?
I have a loud home theater system in my bedroom, but when I step out the room, i can hear sound from other rooms in my house. Does anyone know what kind of material to use to soundproof the walls and stuff?? thanks for looking....
Well you have options:
expanding foam behind the drywall
regular insulation behind the walls
or carpet the walls.
I would go with the:
expanding foam behind the drywall
![]() Sonic Barrier 1" Acoustic Foam w/PSA 18" x 24" List Price: Sale Price: $12.23 You save: $5.76 (32%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days See Reviews For This Product DescriptionThe Sonic Barrier 1" acoustic damping foam is a precisely engineered material that offers optimum absorption for its thickness. The material features our exclusive embossed surface finish that helps to trap acoustic energy and improve high frequency performance. This finish is applied to an acoustic-grade open-cell polyether foam, which absorbs and converts the acoustic energy into low-level heat. A very aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive provides easy and permanent installation onto any surface. The Sonic Barrier 1" foam is excellent for general loudspeaker cabinet use. The non-composite nature of this material means that it acts as a sound absorbent across a wide range of frequencies. For situations where the cabinet walls are already acoustically dead, composite barriers may not be necessary-- in this case, the pure foam material can offer a lower-cost alternative with minimal difference in performance. The foam will help absorb unwanted sound from within the cabinet without disrupting airflow between the driver and port. This can reduce unwanted sound reflections and prevent them from exiting through the cone or port. The foam can cause an increase in apparent volume, which can help to offset the space taken up by the driver or the port. Sold in 18" x 24" Sheets Features

Unlike standard waterproof MP3 players--which transmit sound through the air or water and produce only a muffled noise when submerged--the SwiMP3.1G relies on your bones to conduct the sound. This direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheekbone to the inner ear produces exceptional sound clarity, so you can listen to all of your favorite tunes while working out or taking a leisurely swim. And you needn't worry about damaging your hearing, as bone conduction hearing is a safe, well-established hearing mechanism in humans.

Ideal for swimmers, triathletes, surfers, synchronized swimmers, and anyone else involved in general water activities, the Finis SwiMP3 1G waterproof MP3 player allows you to listen to music underwater.
