Soundproofing Bedroom - Blu-ray Forum

Jamie P · 07-07-2010, 02:02 AM

So, I am looking to soundproof my bedroom. I do live at home with my parents, and their bedroom is right above mine. My entire house is tile so that adds to the sound issues. I have been doing some research and have a few questions and would love some additional input and guidance as I do this. My goal is to contain sound in my room as well as, and just as important, the vibration and bass sounds from leaving my room.

Some ideas I have;

put another layer of drywall on the ceiling-maybe fiberglass under first layer, or fabric? I have read a lot about Green Glue but would prefer not to invest that kind of cash in to just the glu. Any other ideas about what could be done?

I am going to put some base traps in the corners.

Build some noise absorption panels to hang on my walls.

I do understand I need to take care of my window, and I don't know how I am going to do that because I open my window in the spring and summer time. Also don't know what I am going to do about my door b/c I am sure a lot will escape underneath the door.

I have an open closet that goes straight up to right below my parents floor, so I was thinking about putting up some foam in there?
