One of the most popular products for blocking sound in apartments is called homasote.
Block sound from room.
We won t show you how to block noise coming from outside since most exterior walls already block sound fairly well.
So when it comes to blocking outside noises you may find that you don t get significantly better results than you can with much cheaper alternatives like hanging curtains or quilts.
In reality acoustic panels that you hang on walls and ceilings are better at keeping sound in the room than keeping it out of the room.
It s a lightweight composite product made of recycled newspapers and cellulose fibers.
Changing rooms is not always an option if you don t have another room to switch to but if it is a possibility try staying a few nights in a possible new room.
If your bedroom is a room that is on the main road of the street or next to a room where there is a screaming infant then switching rooms can help block out a lot of noise at night.
By wrapping homasote panels in a nice fabric you can reduce the noise coming through your walls by about 20 percent while adding to your home s décor source.
The room might be a place that you want to keep sound out of a home office for example.
To reduce sound reflection cover bare walls and even ceilings with something soft so sounds like voices barking or even the commotion created by a running vacuum cleaner won t reflect.
Or it may be a room you want to keep sound in like a home theater.
