A simple tip on how to sound proof your room.
Hi CZcams family. I would like to share with you why I need to sound proof my room here in Singapore. Here in Singapore, there are a lot of complains when it comes to noise and other musical sounds. Through this video, you might have an idea on how you can sound proof or minimize sound from coming out from your room.

This is what I’ve been wanting! A lot of videos on these panels are about limiting echoes in the room and I’m like nooooo I need them so people stop complaining about me being loud when playing video games 😂 thank you for this!
Thanks for dropping by. All the best to you. 😁👍🏻
Have you found that these work for you? I dont want everyone outside my room to hear me
What you need is sound isolation. these panels disperse sound and reduce reflections and hence echos. So I learned that sound isolation methods are completely different to sound absorption and sound reflection reduction. Towels apparently work best in reducing all of those.
@@eingoluq what kind of towels?
@@jl8686any. old or new. obviously, the fluffier the better, but you can use any really. just remember to at minimum double it up.
im so happy i found someone that actually showed results, ty. *kiss*
Thanks for stopping by 👋🏻😁
I am a local who is going to buy their first guitar but was anxious about neighbor complaints. Glad i came across your video :D subbed
Thanks for stopping by. What kind of guitar are you getting?
Thanks I was looking for a video where someone test this from outside the room now my mum can hear my music and me talking to my friends!
You can try this 😁👍🏻
Can or can’t lol
Thanks for this, I’m changing my room to a studio as well and your video helps a lot!
You're welcome. Good luck on your installation. :)

According to my experience, the most effective setup should just be closing the air gaps at the door. If you remove the sound panels at the wall, the overall noise isolation should still be the same.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Best household item to use to close gap?
Thick foams and blankets.
Will it accumulate dust?
@@DoubleSaltedEggYolkShark yes it will. Just use a controlled speed vacuum cleaner when it gets dusty. :)
Love the laugh and positive energy haha :) thanks for showing how it sounds on the outside! I can never understand all the decibel and hertz talk or read the meters 🥴
Just trust your ears. Thanks for stopping by Taylor
your happiness is contagious, bless you
Thanks Niko
Thanks Blaire for the how to and before after. This is a great idea! A neighbour plays the violin, a few plays the piano, including myself. If I can hear them, I sure they can hear me! I want to be considerate.
Yes you are correct about that. You can also play not later than 9pm :D

@@laurabrown6073 Thanks
This is great... something I can learn
Thank You very Much Sir for uploading this video...I Will show your video to my Son...
You're welcome. Thanks for watching :D
great video with results shown. thank you.
Thank you
I've done a lot of research on soundproofing
And the truth is that when you're improving the sound in your studio you'll be dealing with two different issues
1.) Sound reflection. Sound within the studio that bounce the wall and back into the mice.
2.) Soundproofing. Sound coming into the studio from outside or sound created in the studio and going out.
Sounds or frequency produced outside is one thing and mechanical sound created by your structural is another issue.
The foams on your video are meant for sound reflection (sound bouncing the wall) not for soundproofing.
And even for sound reflection, studies shows those foams do very little.
Thanks for the information.
What can you recommend so i can soundproof my wife's boyfriend room ?
@@xljx8304 ahhmm you try this.
@Luis Gonzales, Oh yeah, this is a very interesting comment. Actually, I want to practice violin & guitar in my appartment room without bothering my neighbors, so in this case, I should buy equipement for soundproofing not sound reflection right?
What can you recommend in this case because i nearly bought the same equipements as the guy from the video just before reading your comment.
What do you advice to avoid bothering the neighbors (aka soundproofing )
@@adriancambier7464 the foam reduces the power of the sound a little bit, another type of material is mineral wool or ex Rockwool brand to be specified, but if you need total dampened wall, apply mass loaded vynil or double the wall, created some room within the room. dont forget raised the floor too!
well done man, nice work
I hope you go inside your adjacent neighbors house or apartment to hear the sound or vibrations and not only to your kitchen. But in fairness, you did an excellent job!
Thanks Leo. 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much for this!!❤️❤️❤️
You're welcome Ernie 😁👍🏻
You are amazing! Awesome video and instruction!
Thank you for your generosity honey! xoxo
You are so welcome!

omggg, thanks for this!!
Thank you so much for this!!
You're welcome 😁👍🏻
Thanks for sharing! My new BTO house rooms are so echo-ey! This guide helps alot
Have always wondered how to attach the panels without them dropping off
I've used BluTac. You can use it without damaging your walls.
Should make before and after 😁
brooo you are the best!!! im gonna get that one cause i live close to a highway and the noise is insane!!! car passing every single minute... lots of car noise.... will follow your tips!! your energy is really awesome!!!
That's exactly the same with my situation, I hope this works the other way around.
That's exactly the same with my situation, I hope this works the other way around.
@@julietmaestre2272 yesss I’m sure it will! Good luck on the installation! And success in your future projects!! 😃
Thanks Samuel :) Good luck
Special personality.. Good video👍
Thanks Eric. :)
Sir thanks for the great idea...
You're welcome Eman. 😁👍🏻
Hi! Thanks for sharing the tips on soundproofing the room. Could you share where you purchase the foam? I would like to soubdproof my room too!
Thanks for watching. I ordered it on Shopee. 👍🏻😁
Guys do not try the double sided tape you will just waste your time base on my experience after few hours it will fall down use a Insolation adhesive spray
Wow thanks Binson for the advise.
Thanks! I just needed to learn how to install the soundproof insulation. Your video helps better after going on a few videos.. 🙄..
You're welcome. I hope you were able to manage your installation. 🙂👍🏻
Because that wall is quite sensitive 😂😂🤣 You're too kind 😂
😁😁 thanks. You know lah 😅
Blaire, I have a small livingroom and my neighbour is always complaining about my music being too loud and feel I am always walking on egg shells. Would you think that using these tiles on the wall that seperates us would work? Cheers my man!
You can try. For my case, it did help. :)
sir Blaire, can you give me an advise how you keep those foams clean? because i understand that it's like a sponge that would absorb also dirt and molds, how do you clean em? or do you ever clean them at all?
If there's dust on the foam, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust. :)
hey blaire! would you say that the sound panels also cancel noise coming from the outside or just block the sound from escaping?
Hi there. It depends on where you put it. But based on my experience, specially the door part, it lessens the sound from the outside.
You made me smile haha 😂
Hala ka nice sir blaire hehe no more reverbs and echo Whohoho
Salamat Jeth. Congrats sa imong mga recordings diha :D
Rock n roll na sir...hehehe
Salamat :D
awesome
Thanks Gio :D
Hello. I like the video and I want to order the Blu tack you used. I wanted to know, do you use something to hook into the foam pieces then use the blue tack to stick to that? If so what do you use to hook into foam?
If not, did you use the Blu tack directly on the foam, did any panels ever fall off? If so how long till it fell off?
I only use the BluTack to the foam so that it won't damage the wall.
Thank you for this wonderful idea! I will now buy some foams so i can't hear my neighbors radio at night.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. 😁👍🏻
Hi Blaire, does this work if the case is the other way around? My room absorbs noise from the outside I want to sound proof or noise prevent the walls and the windows..thanks.
I think it depends on the loudness of the sound and the location of where you put it.
I love this vid
Thanks :D
Sir, It's looking a bit horror 😂bt afterall that's essential!!💯
heheheh :D
I’m trying to soundproof my apartment so I don’t bother my neighbors below with my music. that hard floor you have will absorb heavy bass and it will travel through walls. I suggest laying down heavy rugs Or carpet on the floor
Thanks for the suggestion. :)
Thanks 🙏🏽
thank you for this
You're very welcome!
Keep it up sir. gamay nalng for 10k subs.
Thanks Jean :D

Hi I just got my drums set up a wk ago now looking forward to install those sound absorbers..wat abt window panels with blind any idea?
You can try with thick curtains so that sound may be minimized.
Which panels did you buy?
I think when people say that this just stops reflection and doesn't sound proof, the are trying to say it's not sound proofing by the technical definition, which would be to block sound from leaving or entering a room; but instead it stops unwanted sound inside the room from traveling around inside the room and creating noise that you might not want in studio recording.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Trevor :)
A carpet would help reduce noise too! Pretty awesome build
Thanks for the suggestion. :)
seriously?

Hi Blaire. Was it able to suppress the noise from barking dogs outside? Thanks
That case, I haven't tried. No dogs in our area. 😁👍🏻
such a nice guy lol
Thanks bro I'll buy them cause in my room I play games and my voice is pretty noise
you are welcome bro :)
did you buy it? if so, did it block out the noise? i’m asking because some other videos on youtube say that their isn’t much of a difference.
@@nathanpark5975 I need to know too lool have the Same issue 🤣
Hey man does the bluetac hold the foam on the door well? Or eventually they fall off?
It will hold the foam if you put a bit bigger amount of BluTac.
Bro From where did you buy the acoustic foams? I also need about 50 haha. Nice setup there btw
Thanks. I got in Shopee
Your videos is so funny and you are making good videos
Thank you Zooka. 😁👋🏻👋🏻♥️
I read that using acoustic foam doesn't soundproof your room. It is mainly only for acoustic treatment but that does not even do much. What do you think so far
First it is for show (if somebody asks why so noisy), next it will only minimize a little :D But better than nothing as what I've demonstrated in this video.
My family complains a lot about music gaming and other shit. Plus they are nosey, does this work if I want to isolate the voice in my room and don’t want them to hear me outside. If not what can I use!?
You can try. You can also add some thick curtains. :)
the room looks good and hopefully no more complaint ...hehe
Thanks By. Wala na siguro :D
Has the blue tak worked for you? I’ve had it about a year on my wall now with the same foam panels but it has been starting to drop off recently
Good point. Don’t trust blue tak. Eventually it’ll come off the wall.
From time to time you have to check. If you used a bigger size of you Blutac, it will not easily fall off. 😁👍🏻
@@BlaireBustillo thanks! Might go with some tape soon
where can we buy blue tack??
im looking for something to used holding this panels. thank you
Bluetacs can be bought in any local shops. Try searching online if you can not find in your local stores.
Thanks for this video Bro. I will install some in my room also. Ngayo lang sad ko sa link asa ka ni palit. 😁
Kumbate brad. 😁👍 Sent na.
wow so nice new friends here full support
Thanks my friend :D
Hi, did it also significantly decrease sound coming from outside of the room?
Hi Kerwin, it did help according to my house mates. 👍🏻😁😁
Acoustic treatment isnt sound absorption. If you need to soundproof your room insulate your walls and make sure the room is air tight.
Thanks. 😁👍🏻
Hey!, what u are doing is acoustically treating a room, not soundproofing it. Sure those foam panels will absorb some high frequency sounds, but will do little to actually sound proof ur room.
Thanks for your comment. This is also the request of the owner of the house so I need to comply 😁👍🏻
Using weather strips rin sir around your door jamb and a rubber door sweep at the bottom of you door para ma seal yung door at walang air leaks. I was also considering using thickening the door for more mass by using drywall/mdf/plywood. I actually wanted to try getting an edrum kaso problema rin sa hdb eh di kaanong kakapal yung floor slab need pang gumawa rin nang floor riser.
Salamat for your tips. 😁👍🏻
do u hv the before and after u sound proofing? just wanna see how much changes it does
Only after the installation
Good video po🤞🏽
Salamat :)
I think U will save more blue tack if u just put all the foam on some paper board or recycle box then paste on the wall😅
That's also a great idea :)
❤❤❤❤❤
You know of s.w.v. “I get so weak” In Singapore I love it! 🎶 ❤️ 5:28
Yes I know that song. Very nice. You can visit my Live Stream on sessionslive.com/blaire188 for LIVE music. 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻 See you Sat 9pm.
Thanx for the video. Is the blu tack still holding the foam on the wall?
Yes, still holding. It depends on the amount of Blutac 👍😁
Singapore may 31 2020. That's my bday. ✌🏾🤟🏾
Wow advance happy birthday 😁👍🏻
Oh, so I don’t need to put the acoustic panels in the entire room? Just the big parts?
yes you are right. if you can utilize curtains, the better :)
Can you please explain how did you apply it on the door?
Still the same, I used the BluTac adhesive. 👍🏻😁
Hi do U thing this foam can block the footstep noise from rooftop ceiling
I haven't tried. You can try it on your ceiling.
Hi, I just would like to know where do you get the foam from?? Thanks.
I got it from Shopee 😁👍🏻
@@BlaireBustillo how many foam did you spend on your room?
@@BreakOleg About 120pcs :)
hi can i ask how you cut them for the door thankyou
Use a new and sharp cutter blade. Measure it first then cut accordingly. 👍😊
Dude,so after installing all that do you hear the noise from outside or it's quite inside n outside your room?
The sound is lesser and damp.
I want to reduce the sound coming from outside, are those foam helping u do that
For me my concern is my sound going out but for your end you can identify the part of your room where the sound can go in. Then cover it also with some thick blankets.
Is this foam will block the noise coming from the outside? Coz our neighbor are so noisy and I can't concentrate in my work. Hoping for your response Thanks
You can try. Add tarpaulin for additional materials.
Are there any professional service providers who do these kind of arrangements in Singapore? I suck at DIY stuff.
I think there are but it's costly for professional service in room acoustic setup :)
Importante jud soundproofing dri kay sikit kaayo. Lisod na mareklamo silingan
Mao gyud. 😁😁👍👍
@@BlaireBustillo si Mark ray Makarelate nimu ani kay siya tig soundproof sa among balay haha
Sakto gyud. Lisod na maka disturbo. 👍😁
I have noisy neighbor, will it work vice versa? or is it just other people hearing you?
You can try :D
Sounds coming from the 2nd floor roof can I use it on my roof surface instead of walls ? What should I do ? 😔
You can try and observe.
where did you buy these from? How much did it cost? Thanks
You can check in Carousell. $1.5 each
Based on the physics of sound proofing. Your room wouldn't do much. To many gaps. However, definitely would sound dampen to a small degree
Thanks for your inputs 😁👍🏻
Hi is this applicable for KTV studio room? you know customers like it with a little bit of echo when they use karaoke.
I think it is applicable. Echo or Reverb effect is generated from your audio mixer microphone effects. Increase the effects on your microphone if you want more echo or reverb. 👍🏻😀🎸
@@BlaireBustillo thank you so much!!
Where did you order it from, my son has the radio loud it bother my neighbors the wall are thin.
If you are in Singapore, you can order it in Shopee or Lazada. In US probably Amazon. 👍🏻👍🏻😁
After watching this video i bought my from Amazon in the US and they worked great!
I had 2 questions I was wondering if you knew the answer to
1. Would this stop sound from leaving the room
2. What brand did you buy? Where they just simple acustic panels from Amazon?
1. It will lessen if you put it on the areas where there's a thinner materials and wide openings for sound to go in.
2. Any foam brand as long as it is thick. 1inch or more. You can get it in any Shopee store.
@@BlaireBustillo Thanks man, I appreciate it👐
Hi, will this work the same way if you dont want the noise from outside to come inside the room
a different story. but you have to put thick curtain on your window so that it will deplete the sound from outside.
Hi Blaire, does it reduce the noise coming from the next room?
In my case, it helps especially from the door. The sound from the other room sounds softer inside. 👍🏻🙂 It also depends on how loud the sound.
@BlaireBustillo Thank you, Blaire :)
hi, may I check how many mm did you get for these foam tiles?
30x30mm per foam.
can i place them out of my door? like on my walls but outside of my room? will they still have the same effect and less noise visible from my room??
you can try. it also depends on how loud the sound would be. :)
Hi! outside of my place has a lot of noise.
will it help in my room if i will work from home? Thanks in advance
It will if you add more thick curtains to your window. :D
I was wondering how do you deal with dust.Im afraid since it's foam the dust will gather inside
I haven't cleaned it yet. You can try using a not so strong speed vacuum cleaner if you think the foam is dusty.
Hey there, may i know if this works in stopping noise coming from outside?
It really depends on how loud the sound is and where you put the foams. You can try and see. My setup is just based on my experience.
Where do u buy those sound proofing panels?
I bought it in carousel. Try also any online shops like shopee and lazada.
Sir while practicing my high vocals ,i always receive complaints from neighbours... Will it help ..pls comment...
yes it helps by reducing high frequency. the lower ones are more difficult to block and those panels are for sure not enough.
if you want an advice, its better for you to create those panels using towels instaed of sponge, because they absorb more sound.
like i saw on this video right here czcams.com/video/pABvTWSxOes/video.html "How to Make High Performance Sound Absorption Panels for $5" by diy perks. i highly raccomend you that.... let me know man! hope i'm been helpful!
if you still want to buy those panels, i suggest you to DON'T buy the cheap ones; instead go for the better performance high end ones.
It helps a bit bit add more thick curtains.
Thanks for sharing.
I thought acoustic foam
Just reduces echo. Do these really soundproof your room?
It is also part of the compliance of my neighbors eyes if they will complain again. You know, show them that I've done something. 😁😁
