Why not both? Could put green glue between the double layers dry wall panels. Add mass loaded vinyl onto the panel and then cover with another panel. I know it's very expensive but thats how I would do it
You certainly can do both! A lot of people has installed both products and we’re very happy with the results. One good thing about having green glue is that it will get in between the seems of the mass loaded vinyl and create a better seal.
@@soundproofguideif you say the green glue will seal the seams of the mass loaded vinyl, that means that you're putting mass loaded vinyl on a solid wall and then a green glue layer and then drywall. Correct?
So i have a bar three houses down and my house has been getting hit by just the bass. So we are hearing beats & booms no music in our bedrooms and sometimes throughout the house. I tired everything to get the bar to lower the bass but for them, they think their bass is okay and won't do anything. I'm thinking of putting mass-loaded vinyl on the windows and covering them with drywall and also mlv on the walls and doubling the drywall as my only hope in trying to reduce the noise. I also was thinking of putting up a 9 foot fence and adding mass like mvl and maybe something else to at least be a semi-barrier outside.. Im not sure if any of these will work but its maddening that they have their bass till 2 every other day.
What would be the best way to soundproof a decentralized ventilation system with heat recovery? To install them you have to drill a 180mm hole in the wall, the tube from the fan itself is only 160mm. What would be the best soundproofing material to fill in the gap? I have found construction foam with 63 decible noise blocking, or would green glue or mass loaded vinyl be better?
If you need to have the vinyl with no gaps; then what exactly is the point of it in a fence…. If it can work on a fence, then clearly you’re saying it can work in a wall with gaps
My guess is it wasn't used for soundproofing the fence. Maybe for privacy. Maybe to stop stuff from going through. Being so heavy and dense, it would be very effective at stopping say thrown balls and toys. Could work as an archery backstop for backyard archers for example. If put all the way around the fence, maybe it would work well for stopping animals from crossing too (some animals like to damage fences or dig under them, I presume such a heavy material might discourage some of them) Of course there could be cheaper alternatives, but the context was 'what to do with excess if you have leftovers'
Does anyone know if there's earplugs that can actually block low frequency/neighbor thumping on the ceiling sounds? Is there such thing of an earplug? I wished one existed
JFC this guy LOVES listening to himself talk.... So, much so, I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about, because, at this point he just uses soundproofing as an excuse to make RU-vid videos. Speaking of which, he could consolidate his 20 videos that all have this same problem into one, and save the viewer a lot of time. Because, there's still multiple generations of people who don't sit around watching internet videos, simply for the sake of.................watching internet videos. "The best way to soundproof a wall is to begin adding mass."....🤦♂
Concrete is highly porous and a terrible sound proofing material. Consider educating yourself, both on knowledge and perhaps common sense exercises. Maybe there’s a “common sense booster” app on iOS. Currently you’re not even eligible to have this discussion. More learning required.
