Hi All,
I have a quick question that could turn into a interesting discussion. I have read up on acoustic improvements in your home and the different foams you can buy to improve this. However I am not looking so much for acoustic perfection as my speakers and setup for me is already superb. I am looking more towards sound proofing my lounge.
Is this safe?
Is it possible?
How do you go about doing it?
I heard from a friend that one of his relatives did this and when he opened the door a mass of noise from his stereo could be heard. Upon closing the door again to his lounge hardly anything could be heard. The same from outside the house.
Would the window be a problem as they would let sound waves out surely. I can see how a door would be relatively easy to sound proof but walls, windows etc how do you do it without having to redecorate the whole place ontop of some strange foam business?
Can you give me some ideas / examples please...
Your help once again is very much appreciated.
