Tips

Your primary goal is transmission loss for a better night's sleep and privacy within the room.   To combat noise bleeding in either direction,  you will need to disconnect common contact points inside your walls or ceiling, and add density to the surfaces.   These techniques are outlined in the Walls or Ceiling section of our Applications Guide.    The treatment involves the use of our mass loaded vinyl dB-Bloc which is a membrane that layers behind drywall to help combat the bleed of noise.   The treatments are for new or existing, finished rooms.

Note that wallcoverings, sound panels, ceiling tiles, and other absorption products simply enhance the quality of sound inside the room by absorbing echoes.   They do not block noise bleed in or out in either direction.   You need to be aggressive with your treatment, and follow the framing and barrier techniques outlined in the Walls section.

As for your windows, our Window Plugs featured in the Product Bin will help combat the noise bleeding through the windows.   These are portable, can be stored when not in use, and hung infront of your window for a better night's rest.   Note these are weighted, average 1.5 pounds per square foot.
