Recently, i just rent a room at Subang SS15 there... It all seems very nice until i actually sleep at there for the first night.... OMFG.... I just realise how terrible the partition sound insulation is.... haizz..... i can hear the next room person sneezing, talking clearly like he just sit beside me..... Zzzzz.... I cant really sleep during the night..... I think the owner renovate the house by using partition in order to squeeze mroe room in her house to earn more money.... But seriously, can they just use brickwall instead of partition ??? haizz......


Can anyone have this kind of experience ??? Can teach me how to improve the sound insulation ???

Can anyone save me ??? I will Really Appreciate ur help.....

Since it is a rent room, you can't do anything with the wall. Either complain to the owner and shift out. Or get a ear plug from the pharmacy.

i thought maybe u guys got any easy and efficient DIY solution.... because i now considering buying some soundproof material and stick it on the wall....

Soundproof material wont cheap unless u use those egg cartridge but u need to stick it on the other side

u mean i cannot stick it on my own wall ??? i need to go to the other tenant room to stick it to their wall a ????

yup^^

egg crates not much help. he will need sound absorbing materials like foam, where else egg crates more useful
for bouncing off sound waves, so there is no reverb or slight echoes.. anyway egg crates so thin, sound easily
pass through.

rent another place better..

if really no other option then i might move out..... just feeling tiring because i just move in only.... Zzzz....

ok ok.... i will consider ur suggestion..... thanks for ur reply.... i truly appreciate it.....

I have the same problem as TS ... juz that the room is in my family house.
Any suggestion how to reduce noise coming into my room???
I read some of the replies saying can stick noise reduction material on to wall .. would like to know more.

good material not cheap.. could be 2x your rental to stick on the wall

Actually, there are two different issues here.

Sticking material on the walls helps only to cut down the reflected sound within a room. For example, in a theatre or cinema, panels or soft materials are fixed to the walls to absorb sound rather than reflect the sound which would create the 'echo' effect. It does not help to prevent sound from travelling from one room through the walls/ceiling to the next room.

To prevent sound from travelling from one room to the next room, you need to have solid walls (brick or concrete) full height to the floor slab without gaps or openings (air-tight). Normal gypsum board partitions are no good to block the noise as they are light and have a lot of gaps. Furthermore, the partition is usually constructed up to the suspended false ceiling level with the space above empty. Noise can also go through the suspended ceiling easily.

move out. the place is a fire hazard. its designed to be a temp stay for maybe a week or two while you hunt for a better place.

nothing u can do regarding the noise. try playing white noise with your laptop and get used to it. easiest would be earplug

icic ... meaning to reduce noise coming, i need very concrete thick wall n door. That would be quite impossible. I would still wan to know the material that can be use n the cost
