How were you able to soundproof it? I have an office (upstairs) that I would love to soundproof so that I don't have to wear my headphones all day.

- CoastalCoder 3y agoThere's a lot of structure-specific details. Happy to DM if you want, I enjoy the topic.

Here someone testing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eKwb58vvFI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eKwb58vvFI This is the original one I saw when I considering doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABvTWSxOes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABvTWSxOes One more DIY with fabric and rock wool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPEouyiEt3Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPEouyiEt3Q
- CoastalCoder 3y agoEffective soundproofing is tricky. I had to wade through a lot of conflicting advice when I did it. I suspect a big factor is that most people do only a handful of implementations, and might overgeneralize the lessons they draw. Also, for a given structure and environment, most people can only afford to try 1-2 soundproofing approaches (wall structure, ventilation, etc.) So it's hard to know if they picked a good point in the tradeoffs space.
