Re: Sound Proofing
A while back my neighbor started calling the cops every time wed have band rehearsal.we tried turning down and it wasn't enough. We only rehearsed once a week and always finished by 9pm so we didn't think we were being unreasonable , but I had to do something . I ended up hanging sound blankets (like moving blankets but sold for sound) and cut foam and auralex to stuff in the windows. It didn't soundproof the room but it did make us significantly quieter outside the band room and deadened the reverb in our practice space which really helped for recording. Unfortunately my problem neighbor kept calling the cops. In fact, he would call as soon as he saw cars show up in the driveway. After treating the room the cops said they couldn't even tell there was a band playing until they got right up the door.they told us we were no longer a problem and that the neighbor had become a nuisance to them. Luckily for me the neighbors moved out. I went over to introduce myself to the new neighbors and the guy was wearing an iron maiden shirt and told me we dint play loud enough! That's my story
I agree with others here.to do it right you need to build a room within a room.if you can't do that, hang blankets or carpet on the walls to deaden the sound.that will at least help.
