- How to Soundproof a room is a question I get a lot from Beginners and what I tell them firstly is when focusing on soundproofing a complete room, you can't only on soundproofing the walls, You need to also focus on the doors and windows! And certainly don't forget about soundproofing the floors and ceilings! There's many aspects when it comes to making an entire room quieter. This video will focus on all these aspects and also give you all the information you need to choose the right soundproofing material.
The most important thing about soundproofing a room is knowing what you're soundproofing from. Are you trying to get rid of air borne noise, or structural noise. These two types of noise will need two different types of soundproofing methods.

hi soundproof guide sir ... i saw alot of ur youtube videos on my other account

so.. may i ask u some questions but it's little embarasing and long
what do you prefer me to ask by email or i just drop here?
thanks
Hi there. I am experiencing some issues with sound coming from cars that reverberate inside my bedroom. I have caulked around corners and even made up an acoustic cover on the outside of my sliding glass door. This noise seems to be coming through the walls. I can't hear music or people talking only deeper sounds coming from accelerating vehicles and rumbling. If I were to put some heavy furniture against the walls and put say some acoustic tiles attached to a board I could place on the wall where the sound is coming from would this reduce the noise?
Where is the link for the caulking?
2:30 soundproofing the door caulking… product used is not included in list of links
You called it acoustical sealant. Brand-name? Where to purchase?
This really is the ultimate checklist, I'm just a college student looking to eliminate noise coming out of my room; I came to this video to learn more about acoustic panels, and I discovered that my door would be the main culprit. Acoustic panels are basically the toppings of a sound-proofed room if I understood the content correctly. I also learned so much despite not being able to perform any of it in my apartment. The use of resilient channel systems, acoustic sealant, weatherstripping, the ideal drywall material, applying putty pads in inconspicuous spots in the electrical routing, thanks for educating me, you got my sub.
1. Soundproofing insulation.
2.acustic puddy pad around all electrical outlets.
3. triple pane windows.
4. Acoustic caulking or backer rod around all gaps, doors and windows and before baseboards are installed.
5. Mass loaded vinyl between 5/8 drywall.
6. Solid core doors.
7. Resillant chanel on ceilings between floors.
8. Acoustic drywall instead of mass liaded vinyl.
What is the total cost?
Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for doing this.
We got triple Glazed windows installed a few weeks back but as time has gone on - more & more noise is coming through. The windows were 5-figures so it wasnt a cheap job by any means but we havent gotten the ambient/outside sound surpression we were promised
Ive been wanting to soundproof my room because its right beside the kitchen in my house, so when someone in my house always seems to be making a full meal at 12am, sleeping gets kinda hard
So thankyou this is really useful for me
Thank you!
This is good stuff. Keep up the good work. You deserve more views though.
Thank you Asad ☺️
perfect man
Thanks. We're converting the 2nd floor to an apartment and we'll live on the first. Not having to hearths people upstairs is important.
Hey what do you think of stacking heavy duty aluminium foil for soundproofing a window then taping each side to insulate it. I know from your videos you say MASS is needed but would it atleast be effective as "blackout curtains" are, its kind of the same workflow except the curtain isolation is done with Velcro. I ask because i use a portable ac with casement windows, and this creates a massive gap from having to open the window for venting. I did buy a bag-like window seal to stop hot air from coming in, but it doesn't do too much for soundproofing and the only possible thing i can do with these type of windows is stacking curtains+foil. You can google "portable ac casement window seal" for a perfect visual representation.
TLDR: not wanting you to be my personal helper but i did read foil blocks 85% of the sound, so curious about your opinion on it.
Hi there, my question is I moved to an apartment and I hear the voices upstairs of my neighbors. And my room is kind of big so there is a lot echo. Of noise I make and the noise coming from upstairs. Can I add mass vinyl to the ceiling and then paint it white because the room is white?
we live in housing association property, my above neighbour flooring really awful noise when they walk sometimes they drop objects in mad night which they wakes us up from sleeping
I’m here to soundproof a CNC machine with a 24000rpm Spindle I’ve installed in my Photo Store, I have built a fully painted 20mm Plywood box with Silicone in all gaps. After watching your video: inside I will spray Automotive Sound Spray, then Automotive sound sheets because we have all these, I might add carpet over that for a better look, the front door is a large acrylic sheet, I will add 1 or 2 layers and lastly I will rest the 40x60” machine on a layer of rubber.
loved this. just curious if the walls are concreat what are great ways to sound proof them. I live in europe on all walls are concreate
Drywall over the concrete. Most people think concrete is soundproof but it hardly is. If you can, build a stud wall over the concrete and build off from there. Thanks for watching and best of luck on your project!
Any suggestions for people in apartments?
I've been watching your CZcams channel for a while. Thanks for doing it.
I've always been very sensitive to sound while sleeping, so I'd like to
soundproof my bedroom in my single family home. Can you give any
advice on how to find a soundproofing contractor. I'm located in California.
Thanks for watching! I’m not familiar of any soundproofing contractors in your state. Try yelp and find one with great reviews and make sure to get some references. 😊
I need help with blocking out some extremely loud, daily noise. I’m talking LOUD motorcycles and stuff to my left wall. I admit, I need to caulk the edges around the trim. But that’s also where the wall unit, ac is. Im positive it’s 3/8 single-sheet drywall. May or may not be insulation. 🤷🏻♂️😂 I’ll give more info if needed. Any recommendation?
I am putting together plans for new construction and a soundproof checking would be great?
That’s a great idea! I’ll make one and publish it on my website! Http://soundproofguide.com
I make asmr videos and my aunt is older and keeps her tv up at 80 all through the night. I’m wondering if there’s a way where I can tune it completely out cause people scream on the tv. Please lmk
Thank you! We've never lived in a bottom apartment before and the folks walking up/down the interior stairs (between our bedroom/living room) drives us nuts! Plus they're heavy feet stomping around, and yes, we can tell when they are stomping versus regular walking around, or if the lady is wearing heels, etc. We hardly ever hear them talking, but the stomping means we have structural sound proofing needs. And since we rent, we don't want to spend a lot of money. I'd really just like a cocoon thing over our heads in bed at night. We've already tried headphones, every kind of ear plugs, etc. UGH
Have you tried a sleep headband? I reviewed one where I was impressed with how well it worked for only $20. There are some $100 models that I’d also recommend if your budget allows but honestly, the $20 one is a great start! Plus if you buy it from Amazon, you can easily return it if you don’t like it! Here’s the link to the video! czcams.com/video/WyvGo5KsB4k/video.htmlsi=q_06_uRTivIJ4-la
Best of luck!
Hey man. I'd like to know the thickness of the rockwool since it wasn't mentioned. Would 50mm work well?
The thickness of the bat is 7.25”
Hey, is green glue sealant different than 'noise proofing compound' ?
Yes. The compound is the stuff that between the two layers of drywalls. The sealant is what you want to have around doors and windows and electrical outlets.
You did not list and link the acoustic sealant.
It also seems you linked a weather strip for windows only- I did not see included a link for weather stripping the inside edges of door
hey man so do you definitely recommend getting the acoustic sealant and applying that before applying weatherstripping?
Yes sir! 😊
@@soundproofguide cool appreciate the help as usual 🤞
Can I please speak with you? This matter might be life or death… MY OWN! I’m seeking something to go around the inner casing of a door that does not need to open ever again. So far I’ve purchased everything you said. What sticky backing do I need to surround edge of door that would be 1 1/2 “ thick (same as door thickness) I’m only finding some thing you linked for a window. I’m thinking that’s not what you would suggest for door as it pops out too thick to close door. I’m looking for something thinner, if it would go around a door so I can close door.
Sorry I’m advance for my multiple comments TMI… all of which will likely help your channel, not hurt it. I’m speaking my comments and Siri is doing it’s own translation of what I’m saying - driving me nearly crazy at this point 🤪 so now I’ve wrote an entire blog post/ novel in your comment section.

Hello! My issue is with a downstairs neighbor who blasts loud music with a lot of constant thumping bass. Is there any way I can soundproof my floor so that loud, thumping bass sound doesn't penetrate through into my condo?
Yikes i can totally relate,neighbor across the way used to play with music and bass would be sooo loud😮
I live in the building, noise coming from the next two building. They are shoemaker so i hear sound of hammering shoe all the time. its noise like i live in the construction site. It made me suffering every single day. T^T dont know how to do soundproofing
Soundproof vs sound deadening. What's the difference? Do you have a video taking about this?
I really need a video on how to soundproof when u have a window ac unit . When not in use during the none heated nights . I can hear everything through it . I placed vinyl covers over it and nothing . Please help
Great idea for a video! I’ll definitely look Into that!! Make sure to subscribe and check back in a month or so. Cheers
@@soundproofguide I already am sub and like ur videos :) can’t wait . Looking forward to it.
@@Tribalking Awesome! :)
I’m thinking sound proofing like ace Ventura pet detective xD so I can blast loud music at 3 am and not bother the neighbors xD
i want to soundproof my whole home to stop people hear what i say and what i listen to youtube
Watch some of my room soundproofing videos to get a good idea of the work ahead of you.
OK will you please make one more CZcams video for the females, describing the difference between the first linked green glue compound, which looks very similar to the second linked green glue sealant?
They are obviously not the same thing they only partly sound like it. Are they used together? Can you use one or the other or must we use both ….and which goes first? Also, I’m assuming I can walk into Home Depot and they can tell me what gun and casing I need in order to use both of these cans of green glue?
Great question! The green glue sealant is the one you want to use to seal the gaps around doors, windows etc. And the green glue compound is the one you use in between two layers of drywall in hopes to reduce noise transfer between rooms.
Every time you mention acoustic sealant are you talking about green glue because I’m familiar with green glue or yeah I’m not clear what you’re referring to when you’re saying acoustic sealant. From the looks of your video it’s not clear what you’re using for the acoustic sealant.
There's a canal just behind my house and with the first day of summer here these FUCKING Cane Toads will be the death of me. Pardon my French. Please help me! I'm losing so much sleep I'm staring to lose it.
Earplugs work wonders
You have to have a house to do that.
You need to own the home to be able to implement some of these tips. Others you can do without causing damage to a rental.
