How to sound proof and vibration proof a room?


My coworker has an autistic child the is sensitive to noise and vibration. With the fourth being over now and it being a terrible day for her and her child I was wondering what would be the best way to go about creating an area that will dampen the sound and vibration of the mortars that the city uses?

You will need to install the following: wall to wall carpet, cork tile on walls, drop ceiling tiles and heavy drapes on the windows. Also, plant trees, shrubs and pines around the house. Some sounds will still be audible, just not as loud.

How can i make my hollow doors more sound proof?


I have jut moved into a bungalow and had new doors fitted , I could not afford solid doors so have had hollow doors , The problem is that they do not stop any of the sound , and when I play my music even at low volumes it can be heard through the bungalow , Is there any way to sound proof them with out changing the looks of them , Can anything be put inside to make them solid , or reduce the sound.

cover them in egg-boxes
it really works

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

Description

Provides the same high quality sound and features as the FINIS SwiMP3 v2 Waterproof MP3 player with an upgraded processor and memory (1 GB). 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. Rather, this is the first time an audio company has leveraged the technology to enhance the experience of swimmers, tri-athletes, surfers, synchronized swimmers, and anyone else involved in general water activities.

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. 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. The SwiMP3 1G attaches to your swim goggles or snorkeling mask. The SwiMP3 1G also shines from a music standpoint, with 1GB of memory and support for both MP3 and WMA files. Listeners have a basic selection of controls, including volume, shuffle, and resume, with an MP3 control panel built into the side panel. And when you're ready to swim, the player attaches easily to your swim goggle or snorkeling mask. Other details include a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 8 hours per charge, a built-in USB plug that inserts directly into your computer (no cable required), and a lightweight housing that weighs only 2 ounces. Designed to hold approximately 240 songs, the SwiMP3 1G is compatible with Windows 98 SE, 2000, Me, and XP and Mac OS 9.x and 10.x. Features: Patented Bone-Conduction Technology: Directly vibrates the inner ear to create the highest quality of music underwater New Sleek Design with Strap Clip: Allows unit to be attached easily to any swim goggle or snorkeling mask Integrated MP3 Panel: Incorporates On/Off, Volume, Next/Previous Track, Pause, and Shuffle functions 8-Hour Rechargeable Battery: Lithium-ion battery charges directly from a USB port for plenty of continuous high-fidelity music Windows and MAC Compatible: Easily drag and drop any MP3 or WMA files directly on to the device Expanded 1GB of Storage: Allows for approximately 240 songs to be stored
