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

u want to soundproof ur bedroom?

I want to soundproof or reduce the sound leak in my hifi room....

Do we really have to google about this topic and then help you? Cant you search for this in google?

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

Hi bro. High five 😁
I might go to shopping and get something done this weekend.

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.

TS angry liao....

Carpet, thick curtains/blanket, and alot of pad cushion can cover string instruments already except drum and bass guitar la haha...or electric violin + headphones

Haha. Not angry. An eye for an eye, that's all

I'm using violin. Wonder if that setup would be good enough. But thanks. I can make it thicker I think

it's the low frequnecy sounds (bass) that u should worry about.

this can leak easily even got soundproof.

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.

Itu foam, bini aku bising

ductape her.

On the stirrups? Hahahaha....

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

i 2nd buying an electric violin, in the long run probably better

Cover walls with egg cartons. Paper type. Overlap it.

use Egg box, if not mistaken it called...

u need to learn how to quote the right person.

Haha. I rarely angry in real life. I never had a room that's too deafeningly silent. That would be awesome if I can make it. I'm half psycho anyway

First, some comments here are not right.
Acoustic treatment and soundproofing are completely 2 separate matters.

Acoustic treatment - makes the room sound better. In general, treatments such as wall panels, soft surfaces and bass traps.

Sound Proofing - isolating the sound source and avoid it leaking out of the enclosed area. In general, isolation to avoid vibrations travelling out of the room, such as building a suspended room inside a room.

no offence, but they are right in general.

sound proofing is subset of acoustic treatment.

Not gonna argue with you but I would stick to my statement. Engineering approach when you identify these 2 issues are different.
Sound proofing is not a subset of acoustic treatment as sound proofing has got to do with vibration isolation whereas acoustic treatment deals with the vibrations response within the room. In your argument I believe you meant by having particular frequencies absorbed, it reduces the energy leakage outside, which is partly true but does not mean sound proofing is a subset of acoustic treatment.

By saying soundproofing is a subset of acoustic treatment, it means you can draw a Venn diagram with Acoustic Treatment and its subset is soundproofing (which in fact you cant).

is all what matters to me. no need to be so serious. cheers.

For me living in bedroom full of egg-cartons will mentally block my creativity

lol not egg box, egg box works similar as acoustic foam, its only reduce wave bouncing , if wan do some sound proof u need 3-5 layers of walls at lease or double layer of glass with vacuum treat between, acoustic treatment and soundproof alot different.
acoustic treatment (sticking egg box / acoustic foam ) only wil make ur room sounds better , and easier for recording , doesn't help much with sound proof.
