Bedroom soundproofing

NAS50557

Hey,

there was a thread on here ages ago about soundproofing.  I’m looking to move, but I worry so much about my bedroom being directly attached to the next door neighbours bedroom.  I can’t sleep and get so angry if I can hear noises making that low rumbling noise through the walls.  I don’t mind during the day, although it’s not ideal.  But i can’t handle it at night.  Has anyone had a wall or room soundproofed?  Did it work?

  • In bed I could hear/feel my refrigerator and gas combi boiler from the room below in my terrace house. Drove me mad.

    I found it helpful putting the fridge on a sound absorbing matt (made from recycled tyres from the look of it). I also put squares of the matt under my bed legs and made sure the bed wasn't touching the walls.

    For the boiler I just set the thermostat timer to 5C overnight.

    My ~1900 terrace has the pumped in insulation between the houses - I generally only hear the loudest of baby screams and the odd saxaphone practice.
