How do i soundproof a my room in my house for my drums?


i live in a house with my parents and i play drums. they pretty much hate me because of the noise i make. i have my drums in the back room of our house and its fairly big. im paying for this so i dont want to spend too much money but i need to soundproof. help please

you know you can goto any good music store and buy pads to go on your drums that will kill the sound and still let you play.
also when your alone you can remove them so you get all the sound.

Description

Reduce outside noise and enjoy your music more! Maxell's HP/NC-II uses microphones in the headphones to detect ambient noise that is interfering with your music. Information from the microphone is fed to the audio enhancer pack where it is analyzed and a precise active noise cancellation wave is generated. When this "anti-noise" wave meets the unwanted noise, the noise is reduced up to 95% so your music comes through loud and clear. With 16Db of noise cancellation, the NCIII has a full range (20 to 22,000hz) of frequency response with Neodymium magnets in a 40mm driver design. In addition to its high-quality stereo sound and superior noise cancellation technology, the Maxell HP/NC-II offers a collapsible design, a 6foot cord, travel pouch, dual prong airline adapter. The NCII is a lightweight closed ear design with longer battery life than most models on the market today, up to 50 hours of battery life. All important benefits to users who travel. Use Maxell's Noise cancellation headphones to enjoy your favorite music, or to simply block out unwanted noise. Road noise and airline noise can cause fatigue, and using noise cancellation headphones can help to reduce this fatigue. You arrive at your destination more energetic as a result. Or use noise cancellation headphones at home or in the office to block out ambient noise to help you concentrate and work more efficiently.The HP/NC-II also will provide sound without battery power, an important consideration for travel and to choose Maxell when purchasing a noise cancellation headphone.The HP/NC-II comes with a 90 day warranty for parts and labor.

Maxell's HP-NC1 portable headphones are equipped with Noisebuster, a patented noise-reduction technology that really works, making the HP-NC1 an ideal companion for in-flight (or even on-bus) music lovers. The Noisebuster technology works via the following process: tiny microphones within each earpiece "listen" for any pervasive environmental noise and send this information to a device called an in-line audio-enhancer pack. This device reads and analyzes the information and then generates a noise-cancellation wave that's out of phase with the noise itself. The audio-enhancer pack feeds this wave back into the headset--when the noise wave goes up, a corresponding cancellation wave goes down, causing the two signals to cancel each other out. This eliminates a good deal of unwanted sonic junk, from airplane engine noise to distant freeway traffic seeping into your living room. We evaluated our HP-NC1s as a utility crew used jackhammers on the street outside our listening room. Because you can bypass the Noisebuster technology with a switch, it was easy for us to compare the noise-canceled signal to the standard sound. While Noisebuster didn't entirely eliminate the jackhammer's rat-a-tat-tat, it did significantly reduce the sound so that we could listen to quiet music, such as soft jazz and classical. As for the sound of the headphones themselves, the midrange is clear, but the HP-NC1s are a little sluggish overall, with no deep bass or extended high frequencies. In fairness to the HP-NC1s, noise-canceling headsets often sound restricted in the frequency extremes, as it can be tricky for the noise-canceling devices to differentiate between noise and music. The fit of these headphones is also a little snug for our taste, but you can loosen them a bit by gently bending the headset. We have heard comparably priced, non-noise-canceling headphones that sound better than Maxell's HP-NC1. However, better sound doesn't matter much if you're having a hard time hearing the music in a noisy environment. At this price, these headphones are a bargain. Pros: Noisebuster technology works well In-flight dual-jack adapter included In-line volume control Cons: Snug fit may be uncomfortable Average sound quality

Description

The 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

"Professional studios aren't always affordable or available. I've found Mr, Hogan's Porta-Booth to be a practical solution than sounds great!" Peter Clark, VO:A note from Harlan: Over the years my stopwatches have become so prevalent in recording studios that several engineer's tell me they call them: "The Harlan." Who's got the Harlan? Where's the Harlan? So I had a sense of deja vu when I received this email from change strategist Kristine Oller: "I've discovered that, in my circles, your fabulous Porta-Booth product is now referred to as a 'Harlan box'... as in: 'You need to get yourself a Harlan box.' Dunno how that caught on but it has!" I Feel like Yogi Berra - "It's déjà vu all over again"
