It's better you tell us what your application is. like you want to stuff it in your ears or you need DIY insulation for your room?作者: yayaya 時間: 2009-7-6 20:20
I think you are referring to "Audiophile's 吸音棉". It is used for enhancing audio performance. It does not necessary absorb the sound from disturbing your neighbor above.
Sound barrier is an expensive thing. You can try suspended ceiling, it may help a little.
If it does not work, you have to insulated the ceiling with sound proof insulation like Roxul (Homedepot or other stores) with thicker dry wall.
In any case, no easy fix in my opinion.作者: yayaya 時間: 2009-7-7 00:37
An inexpensive, but effective solution: There is something you can buy to seal off the gaps between your doors. I think he buys those from Home Depot? I am e-mail him this thread, and see he has time to tell you more!作者: Mr_Right 時間: 2009-7-7 13:34
- google up "sound proofing" and there will be lots of info about ways to reduce sound transmission to your neighbor.
Basic idea: Add mass, decoupling between inside and outside wall.
- If you're renting, there's nothing BIG you can do. You can improve by fixing the weakest links: Better window seals, put weather strips around your door so that it's air tight. Add very heavy drapery to window/door will help a bit.
For better acoustics inside. (eg. for listening to music, or reducing the echoing/resonance), you can:
- Use carpet if you have a hard surface (helps with mid & high freq)
- Treat walls/ceilings with some form of absoprtion material (studio foam, heavy curtain)
- For low-freq stuff, you need bass traps, google it up.
Hope that helps, you're probably disappointed at the answers though.作者: yayaya 時間: 2009-7-7 13:52

I don't think you can do much with the base unless you thicken your wall & ceiling作者: yoursecret 時間: 2009-7-7 18:41
Sometimes I have to work the night shift and sleep late the next day. so I hang a blanket in front of the window to cut down the light and noise. Maybe it will work on the walls too. If you like loud music, why dont you use a headphone? As for pets, I know you can train a dog not to bark, not sure about cat though.作者: yayaya 時間: 2009-7-8 02:33

It's those made in china old green blanket that got passed down from my parents. kind of scratchy and heavy. It's just something that's lying around with no use, I don't think you can buy them anymore. I suggest you just try it with whatever you have.作者: siumaibb 時間: 2009-7-10 09:59
