Bro/Pro,

Any idea how to DIY sound proof ? Or where to find these peoples who do it ?
I think i need it especially for my living & bedroom, for a link house.

Get some reno guy to fix a 3 inches thick artificial wall over the existing one with plywood, then stuff in rockwool or something like that in it. Paint over the plywood wall with whatever colour u want. Its like a mini reno over ur house.

or you can use gypsum board and rockwool like in office use.

Agreed that rockwool would be a good choice. The more compact the fibres, ie. the denser the fibres, the better the sound proofing ability.

yeah, rockwool is good insulation material, I wonder got discount or not if I buy from my customer CSR must go check with them..

Central Sugar Refinery?

get the 80kg @ 50mm. that will asorb the highs, for your bass you will need vacum...

CSR lar.. the auz company, have plants in klang and seremban..

Hey friends,

I got a friend told me about the Rockwool come with a sheet size
2ft x 4ft x1inch Thick = RM12
Is this the price around? or this is consider mahal? shall grab the Roll one?

I'm wondering, can you stop the bass sound.. Other sounds, maybe neighbours wont hear... but when it comes to bass/boom sound, it may disturb them especially when watching movies at late night while everybody is sleeping.. I'm referring to a link house situation..

yeah i was wandering this too in a linkhouse situation..

LFE always kicking and annoying others neighbour. So turn on DRC (Dynamic Range Control) on your AVR. Maybe this can be a little help.

Bass (low freq) travels further than Trebles (high freq). So to avoid disturbing others, lowering down the volm at night helps in all cases.

To install sound insulation (DIY that is, not pro), its better to install rockwool, or foam in a 1.5-2" concealed wall all around, even on the ceiling (as in above the plaster ceiling). Window, if there is any, may consider upgrade to Double Glazing, it will significantly quieten down external noise infiltration too, so it means insulation works both way.

With double Glazing window, if u install air conditioner, it will also insulate away heat infiltration too. So you will save cost. But its not easy to DIY double window glazing. Its not cheap either.
