My neighbor plays his music all day almost everyday and I've built a wood fence which I'm going to put Mass loaded vinyl on it. It's 9 ft tall so I'm hoping it works. In the meantime I use an outdoor fan which is like white noise which does a good job of mitigating most of it

Great content. Thank you!! I’m conspiring building up our fence from 6 ft to 9 feet incorporating mass loaded vinyl.

How does a concrete/cinder block wall compare to a brick wall? Thanks

@Hypercube9 Год назад

How does a dirt mound compare to a wood or rock wall? It would be thicker (at least at the bottom) and the angle at which sound waves hit it might direct them upwards. I don't think I can build over 6 feet where I am. So perhaps a combination raised dirt mound and them a rock wall on top?

Watching this on my half acre back yard as a train rolls by. 🤦. We are going to do a 6 ft final fence. We removed about 8 trees on the lot because they were dead (old water oaks) and now the noise is worse. Adding a fence, a few trees on the back of the property closest to the tracks and adding an inground pool with a water feature - should all help correct? Does an inground pool soak up and block ground vibrations?

My neighbor runs his AC almost year around. Even in winter. It sits about 20 feet from my patio. It's annoying as hell on a 75F day to hear this thing running. I can even hear it in my dining room just inside the patio door. I can go six feet nigh by city ordinance w/o a permitor apply for a variance to go 8 feet and get a permit. What material would be best?

Very informative! Could I attach the mass vinyl to my chain link link fence that has bougainvillea growing on one side? I know they have sharp thorns though. I just need a quick fix for an upcoming wedding, and I live on an extremely busy highway. Thank you!

@soundproofguide 2 года назад

It would certainly help but usually chain link fences are only 4 ft and to really block sound you’d have to double that. Or at least have 6 feet of fencing with MLV.

@zbthunderwood Год назад

We live uphill from a busy highway and are trying to block low frequency noise, bass from car stereos and 18 wheelers specifically. We're about 100-150 feet from the road. We've installed an 8 foot wooden double board fence, which helped some. Would mlv on the fence help block bass if it's directly between us and the loud cars, or would the sound simply travel through the ground and air and still come through our living room walls?

Add foam or thermocole inside two wooden pannels and also put some foam outside the wall from where the noices are coming

The fence would need to be tall and solid. The problem with the gun noise it’s so loud and echoes through the air.

Hi, our neighbours have a very loud electric pomp for heating their home and water, facing our building. Our house is a bit weird, very long shaped so there is no escaping for the noise as their house is right next to ours and inbetween they have stones as pavement. Distance is about 4 meters and right across this noisy machine (above 50 decibel sometimes) we have our bedroom. We isolated and filled the window with glass wool but it comes through the wall. Can someone please help us with any tips as we did not sleep a proper night since december and we have 2 small children and full time jobs and we’re just not sharp anymore. Thank you❤

Neighbor's house is positioned above mine on the slope. She plays her stupid music and her stupid outdoor tv and the sound actually funnels down towards the back of my house where I like to sit in my yard and read a book and watch the birds. I'm getting more and more angry. There is something about the position of the houses that directs the sound toward the back of my house. Our municipality has a 6-foot fence ordinance. The top of a 6-foot fence would be lower than her deck where she blasts her noise. Any ideas? So far all I've come up with is to play a pink noise app on my phone but the sound still cuts through.

@granjitsingh 3 года назад

You need the gap between the pickets because of heat/cold - expansion/contraction. Otherwise I'll crack and fall apart. Build the fence as normal with a 1/8 gap or 1/16 gap. Now by building the fence you'll have to put pickets on both sides and in-between the pickets it'll be a 2*4 gap, the same thickness for rockwool safe'n'sound to be sandwiched.

@Engineer_Heathen 3 года назад

The wood will shrink as it dries quite a bit. This is why decking is installed with the boards touching, but once it dries there are gaps. Fencing is a little different though because small gaps means you could have issues with high winds. So the reason you want gaps is because of the wind.
