Thanks, Now i can keep my victims nice and quiet when i capture them. Won't have an incident like a few years back, when I had to kill the neighbor after he came over to see what all the screaming was.
@@alanhall6909 we juss did it few days ago, there is a little expanding 2k foam, closing the gaps were like 2 mins... Combined with rubber isolation around the door= inexpensive but great sound proofing, just trust us balkan = European Mexicans when it comes to building
don't make the mistake of fill the hollow door with expendably foam. that's a bad idea. just buy a solid core door and if you budget is small just buy a used one.
I did the same but not with foam, but with an epoxy-like solution that solidifies. I sealed all the holes all around the door, poured it from the top and let it solidify. It added cca 50 kilos to the door of course, but honestly, i can barely hear any sound coming through from the hallway.
The only method I found really works is two doors , both quite nicely sealed. It creates an air gap in between and almost no sound is heard inside or outside of room.
Agreed. I have two doors but may still need to use some tips like the door sweep and the adhesive strips because the outer doors has spaces, allowing bird whistles to penetrate.
Hey soundproof guide, I'm thinking of using the weather strip and door sweep on a bedroom door, but as the windows are tightly sealed double glazing, I'm wondering where the overnight ventilation would come from for the room ? The only place I can think is the ceiling fan in the ensuite, although the fan itself is off at night. Should I be concerned about how airtight the soundproofing is ? Thank you
*Just a tip*, if you take RU-vid seriously, don't do clickbait. 15 ways... BUT you'll only get a few, to see the rest, read it on my website which DOESN'T even include pictures on all of them.
Hello! Thank you for your video :) I have a question regarding the Self Adhesive WeatherStrip. I live in a rented flat and maybe in a few years the landlord will want it back so...are they easy to remove? or how does the procedure work? Thanks!!!!
I'm sure you've already figured it out by now but for anyone else that is curious about this....yes they are very easy to remove and if there is any sticky residue, WD40 and a rag will take it right off👍

@@soundproofguide Some manufactured homes have this same issue, so the real question is what can you do in these cases to allow air movement but reduce the noise?
God, does this guy have a tic and OCD or what? It does not take 9:40 minutes of repetition to explain what is a solid-core door. It instead takes only 30 seconds.
I simply asked the software engineers who are incredibly loud behind the door to be a little mindful of the rest of the people in the office and to actively work on not talking at full volume as if they were outside in a wind storm. It didn't work :/
I've sand baged some hollow core doors. Heavy! , but does an excellent job for cheap. King Frost closed cell foam strips around door frame. Floor sweep is a pain and wears out to fast - use a an adjustable. Rubber threshold seal ( the rubber is easily replaced). Been
@@sandragaribay06 U have to remove 1 side of the door. Line it with a thick mil. Plasitic bag with dry sand enclosed. Most hollow core doors are devided I with a 1x or 2x top, middle and bottom, so u will use two bags. Reattach the side of the door u removed. Another option is to actually construct a hollow core door ( very easy) and process as above. U may have to reinforce the door with L brackets inside.
The best type of door sweep for noise reduction is the ones made of rubber. Check out the link in the description and you’ll be redirected to Amazon to the one I recommend.
Unfortunately living in a rental, I am not allowed to do any of these things. The doors are metal fire doors not on dampers and they sound like gun shots when someone enters and exits their unit. The door in my apartment actually shakes from the vibration of theses doors slamming. The hallway noise is unbearable.
What a fantastic video and fantastic Channel! I never really leave comments but in this case I felt compelled to do to how valuable this content is, I'm so happy it exists
Is there a gap on the bottom of the door? If so then it doesn’t really matter how dense the door is because sound will easily bleed through the cracks. Install a door sweep if your don’t already have one and add some weatherstripping around the inside of the door jamb. Make sure the strip isn’t too thick. Check out our website to see if you can figure it out and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any more questions, I’d love to take a few minutes to help my viewers. 🙂
Most likely the seals around the door and the frame and even the frame itself. If the frame is cheaper lumber it won’t block the sound vibrations very well. Or if the door has any play while it’s shut & moves around it’s not sealed against the frame good enough to work effectively
The next video that I will be posting is how to soundproof a washroom, but I will begin working on a window soundproofing video for next week. Subscribe and stay tuned :)
Idk why all the comments are so salty 😂 thanks for the video i’ll be buying those things once I have more $ i’m really excited to be able to sing without having to worry about botherine my frontsoor neighbors in my apartment
@@soundproofguide what about doing the same except it was a hollow core door? Would that along with the two sound proof blanket and curtain be more or less effective than just a solid core door?
@@daviddang82 I know this is late but I also have a hollow door and had the same idea I have been having a hard time finding actual sound proof blankets or curtains so I was wondering what you ended up going with that worked for you
Easy way! Just get some soundproofing foam cut out the area where the knob and hinges will be then attach it to the door make sure you can still open it then BOOM soundproofed!
like i stated before, as i said before, why you repeat everything you said like 18 times and remind us by saying "as i stated before, as i said before" its annoying AF breh
Hi, my room is small and low cieling just 7 feet, there is no sound preefing work has done, can i use this room for voice recording ? please advice me.
Would you recommend putting anything in the space between the doorframe and the rough opening? My doors have about 1/2” gap on either side of the doorframe and the only thing blocking sound coming through is the door casing. Thanks.
8:26 I would really love to see if any example test on this part, cause I got a high school son and he can really shuts while he play games with his bodies
