I want to play my violin, but the sounds is a bit too high. And since I'm not living alone, it's going to be troublesome for others. I'm thinking to make my room soundproof. Anyone had any experience with building a soundproof room? Would love to get some insight on how did you guys do it smile.gif

Yeah. That's the idea. So that the noise won't reach outside the room

By that standard, no need forum. No need Q/A tag. Just Google everything. Which is why I'm asking for experience, if anyone in this forum has ever done it before. No need to be an a$$hole. If I'm wrong, point it out nicely. I'm not an ignorant. Unless you are.

I see. I didn't know about that. Thanks for the insight. Some friend of mine are suggesting egg cartons. Seems like usable, but looks a bit ugly. Haha. And not sure how long can it last

I'm more into mids so a tapestry or two on the wall might do.

for walls can use the egg carton shape sound-proof foam. windows and doors maybe quite problematic to seal the crevices.

but since TS use violin, i guess tapestry as u suggested is enough. smile.gif

Ducktape who on where again? Haha

I think I'll give it a try with tapestry and sound-proof foam. The door is my main concern, with those two I think I can make it work
