How many of you guys are here because you have loud neighbors? 👋
every single weekend he makes a party with loud music and shouts, they finish at 8 am and in Mexico you can call the cops but if they're inside their house nothing can be done. It's really annoying
@@JLchevz It's almost the same deal in the U.S. In certain cities, cops won't bother with noise complaints. Unless someone is bleeding, authorities won't help out. It's almost like they side with the D-bags.
@@oxymoron296 yeah it's frustrating lol
Jorge Chávez my issue is this fucking elevator that beeps outside my window
Neighbours dogs are making me homicidal. They move out in two months thank the lord, but my family has a dog that barks too and I hate it.
The best information so far I will be trying several of your advice, unable to get sleep due to noise outside your window can be a killer
I have combat related PTSD and I live 800ft from the birthplace of rock-n-roll (Beale Street, Memphis TN) and the drunken screaming/fighting...live bands playing in the streets from time to time is part of the area’s charm. But add the random, regular, daily blowing of the air horns on the trolleys they finally have up and running after 3 years is just too much for me to take!
Thank you for this video! It is the first one I found and the only one I need! Subscribed 🤗
did it work for you?
Just moved. These tips are a life saver!
THIS IS A WONDERFUL VIDEO!! SUPER INFORMATIVE!! ...and possibly sanity saving! :-) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :-)
I’m happy I could help! 😊
THANKS FOR THE LIST
Hi SoundProof guide, I love your channel, there are some companies that claim that Windows panels like the ones from Indow are more efficient at blocking outside noise than a double pane and even a triple pane window, how true is this statement?
Thanks for beautiful information 😊
justo lo que necesitaba!
I take afternoon naps and it is tough I live in a borough type area where renovating, road construction, roofers, or mowing is really common around here. During the day.
Thank you for these solutions certainly will try the cutprtains thing they seem to help in my case
Great information in this video. The whole channel is like a dag-gum swiss army knife.
Thank you! That’s so kind! 😊
Anyone have tips for blocking out fireworks? My neighbor shoots them off in the park for 2 months everynight...i live in a rental. Thanks. I have installed theater grade curtains but i need something much much better.
Muy buen vídeo, todo muy bien explicado. ¡Muchas gracias!
Un saludo desde España :)
Awesome information. I am interested in those window seals that were clear and had a chrome handles. I didn’t see the link. Can you provide it?
You saved my lots of money bro lots of love from India 🇮🇳
Soundproof huya kiya bro
Hi, I have question. In my location there is no good off the shelf weather stripping material so I had to do it DIY. I want to know which material is best in order to block the sound with windows weather stripping. Is it foam, elastic rubber polymers, cork or what. MLV is unavailable and I didn't ever see anyone do that with MLV. My guess is elastic polymers but which polymer is the most efficient? And about the cross section... Is B shape cross section the best? Hollow or not?
I'm buying an old farmhouse, and while I will be the owner I want temporary solutions to noise. Fortunately, I already have 8 panels of the curtains you mention. I also like the window seal option!
The blankets (I called) are sound Absorbing not sound Blocking but I havent found out from them yet what the difference is ...in the end all I want to know is how many decibels come in contact with my ear drums.
My new studio space has three big windows which am planning to seal... It's a rented apartment so I can't do much. I think the blanket or cotton option is going to be my best option
Would it be effective to buy a regular curtain with a pocket with lining (the kind of curtain that works a bit like a duvet) and then put in acoustic lining, or would that be inferior to a ready-made sound-deadening curtain?
That Indow Window stuff looks like something you could easily make yourself with a trip to the DIY store.
You could certainly make something similar using plexiglass. I'm not sure it would work the same because the windows are mostly custom made to fit your window. If you can make something similar that is airtight then you'd probably be good to go!
@@soundproofguide Thanks for the response! I'm in Japan so I'm not really sure what products are available here (I don't believe Indow Window is operating here). A common method here from DIYers seems to be to make a sliding double window using two pieces of thick corrugated plastic that overlap ever so slightly.
I'm in a rental apartment so I don't really want to shell out a load of cash for a window that isn't even mine (as you rightly alluded to in your video).
Thanks again!
Go to Helpful Mike's YT channel. He made his own inserts with plexiglass acrylic and it worked?
Is motorcycle exhaust sound consider as High frequency?
Is it works if some body up always pushing big furnisture alwaysvusing hammer and nail onock 22 bang2.
are these tips applicable to block sound coming in specifically (not so much going out). thank you!
Yes, depending on what methods you chose the amount of sound going out will decrease also.
@@soundproofguide thank u so much!!
What is up with the copyright notice at the end of the video?
In the Philippines, noise pollution is very common. Videoke is almost in every corner 😅 thanks for the vid
Would you have a suggestion for the ideas you listed for specifically keeping out the thumping of basketball noise?
@Laura R. Shoot em

I also use rock wool and this is really very effective And i also use mlv (mass loaded vinly) sheet.but is is stop sun lights and fress air.
I had to call the cops on one of my neighbors who would leave their dog chained up literally all day and all night, non stop barking. They'd even chain it up outside in the rain.
@@Haddy26 What ended up happening? People who do that to their animals do not deserve animals
I'm having so many issues in this new place I just moved into. In my last place I had NIGHTMARE upstairs neighbors who sounded like they were a part of a circus. Now, I never hear the person above me in this new place, but the noise from outside is absolutely relentless. I've been here for almost 3 weeks and the first 2 weeks everything was so quiet. All of a sudden it sounds like I live on a highway, I can audibly hear every single person's conversation outside, people slamming their car doors sounds like a sledgehammer hitting the backside of my wall, the list goes on and on. My plan is to take a board the size of my window frame and pack and load it with a ton of stuff on top that helps dampen noise. I can deal with the noise during the day but it's the night time that is driving me absolutely mad. This way I can put it up at night and then remove it when I get up. Not sure what your situation is and if you need the sound blocked 24/7.
Silicone sealant will get the job done?
My problem is wind noise. Do you think curtains will help.
Windows in our living room are big, no glass, and covered with grills only. How can I soundproof it so that sounds will not disturb neighbors and family members in their bedrooms?

Thank you for your video, will this help reduce train noise? I live by a train station 😭

How do you remove the acoustic sealant when you have to move out?
Leave it there for next tenants 👍
@@cestogram got me fucked up 😂
The landlord wont even notice its there tbh. Provided you did a neat job when applying
I have single pane windows in my rental apartment. What can I do to cut out the noise from outside?
Watch our video that just came out! I test a window insert and you’ll be amazed as to how good it blocks noise from coming in from the window!
Where I can buy this
There are links in the description of this video! 😊
Just got an apartment by a highway
How you finding it are you used to the noise?
@@HtheKing After 2 months yeah I sleep like a baby now. I barely notice anything. In the beginning I needed ear plugs but now there could be a war outside and i'd sleep thru it.
@@Somelikeitthrift That's good to hear lol hope I get used to this shit
@@HtheKing how u doing with the noise boo
@@mikecoby7546 I've gotten mostly used to it now it's kinda become background noise. Also bought a fan to put on at night and I can sleep peacefully
✅✅✅✅
If they’ve heard it before- and I’m still hearing, then obviously they didn’t want to do anything about it. I’m not saying a word. It’s maddening I’m so tired of this.
The birds are here with spring and there's a tree RIGHT outside my window, it's killing me
Definitely loud neighbors
There is a train 😔
I have an article about how to stop train noise. soundproofguide.com/how-to-soundproof-home-from-train-noise-8-ways/

SAD! Many have the right to make our lives HELL! Nothing we can do. I do not know anyone good with a "BAT"! 45 years in the same home! He is a shack up with girlfriend.
You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.
😂😂
The curtains I saw said 7 decibels. Thats a joke. Like its going to stop motorcycle noises?? 7 decibels is the sound of someone breathing about.
not 'cheap' - all require time & money to achieve fair results.
Cheap not free
