– Weatherstripping: Use weatherstripping around doors and windows to prevent sound from leaking through gaps. – Acoustic Sealant: Apply acoustic sealant to cracks and gaps in walls, ceilings, and around electrical outlets.
– Heavy Drapes: Install thick, heavy curtains or blinds made of dense materials designed to absorb sound. – Layering: Layering curtains can further enhance sound absorption.
– Foam Panels: Attach foam acoustic panels to walls and ceilings to absorb sound waves. – Fabric Panels: Use fabric-covered acoustic panels for both sound absorption and aesthetic appeal.
– Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV): Install MLV behind drywall to add mass and block sound. – Extra Drywall Layers: Add an additional layer of drywall, preferably with a damping compound like Green Glue between layers to reduce sound transmission.
– Solid Core Doors: Replace hollow-core doors with solid-core doors, which are denser and better at blocking sound. – Acoustic Windows: Install double or triple-glazed windows with an air gap between panes for better sound insulation.
