How to Soundproof Your Apartment
Our Tips to Help Soundproof Your Apartment!
A common concern while renting is the fear of noisy neighbors. So, why is your apartment so noisy? Although you can’t control outside noise, you can control noise within your space. Sound typically bounces the most off hard surfaces, such as hardwood floors, countertops, tiles, walls, and ceilings. The most common cause is the lack of furniture/decor to absorb the sound. There are many solutions and types of furniture to help reduce noise. Here are our tips to best soundproof your apartment.
Area Rugs/Carpet
To help breakup hard flooring, rugs/carpet help absorb sound within your apartment by eliminating the sound of footsteps and echoing. Not only will it make your place quieter, but your neighbors will also thank you in the end! The thicker the rug the more sound can be absorbed, leaving your home quieter.
White Noise Machine
Although a white noise machine doesn’t eliminate noise, it acts as a mask for unwanted noise that may enter your apartment.
Bookshelves
Similar to rugs, bookshelves help absorb sound that bounces off walls. By filling bookshelves, it creates a thick barrier almost like a second wall, eliminating sound from leaving and entering your apartment.
Wall Decor/Art
Not only will décor add a personal aesthetic to your apartment, but it also acts as a way to absorb sound off the walls. So, dress up your apartment with accent pillows, family photos, throw blankets, and more!
