SoundProof: Simplicity
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Soundproofing on a Budget: Drywall
Thursday, May 20th, 2010Times are a bit tough right now, and we certainly understand how difficult it can be to figure out how to soundproof your home if you are on a budget. If you absolutely can’t afford to buy soundproofing materials, consider doing the job with some drywall. It won’t be as effective, but it’ll certainly help.
Here’s a brief video talking about how to install drywall for a soundproofing project.
Applying Green Glue
Thursday, April 15th, 2010Are you intrigued by the concept of using Green Glue but hesitant because you’ve never seen it used before? If so, check out this simple video from the Green Glue company showing how easy it is to use.
When we say you simply need to apply it with a caulking gun and then apply new drywall to the existing wall, we’re serious. It’s really that easy. Check it out!
Soundproofing between a Bedroom and Family Room
Thursday, February 11th, 2010If you’re renovating your home, or simply adding an addition, you may find it important to include soundproofing in your new construction. It’s hard to juggle the position of the rooms in a house you already own so let’s say, for example, you plan on putting a family room near a bedroom. You don’t want events in the family room to disturb someone trying to sleep so you’ll need to sound proof the wall.
This particular contractor is using a very special sheet of drywall (probably with a product similar to Green Glue within it) and some spray foam. We don’t necessarily condone spray foam as the most effective material, but we do appreciate his ideas. Check it out!
Soundproofing a Recording Studio
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Gregg Tauriello created a video for eHow explaining how to soundproof a recording studio. You don’t need a professional soundproofing consultant on your books if you’re simply creating a home studio but there are some basic soundproofing concepts you should really understand. Check out this video for some great information on how to insulate or soundproof the walls for the best results.
Library of Virginia Wall Panels
Thursday, August 27th, 2009If you’ve ever questioned the feasibility of using simple wall panels to reduce noise in a room, look no further for proof that they actually can work. In this video you’ll hear what sounds were like in the rooms at the Library of Virginia before soundproofing panels were installed. In the second half of the video you’ll hear the major difference in reverberation after the panels were hung on the walls.
The panels not only cut down on noise but add a bit of contemporary style to the room. What an amazing, useful, and productive investment!
DIY Room Soundproofing
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Some of us are a bit more visual than others. That’s why we were glad to find this incredible video from ExpertVillage outlining some of the details you need to consider when attempting to sound proof a room on your own. The video talks about covering windows (if that is your choice), checking for places where sound can leak through, and things you can do to absorb sound if you’re on a really tight budget.
Understanding Green Glue
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009The other day we came across an incredible video put out by the Markertek New Channel explaining exactly why acoustic damping adhesives like Green Glue are quickly becoming superior soundproofing products. Green Glue allows you to isolate or dampen sound without undertaking huge and costly construction projects.
This video shows examples of hard surfaces and how easily they can conduct sound. One is bonded together with a regular adhesive material and the other is bonded with Green Glue. The results of the test are absolutely astounding and you’ll be amazed at the wonderful job Green Glue does at keeping noise from resonating. Check it out for yourself!
