Soundproofing

Cam_Young · 02-09-2005, 12:17 AM

Does anyone know of good soundproofing material for finished houses?
my house was made mid 1950's and my home theatre set up is in the basement, and i can hear the sound in the room above. what im looking to do is put something on top of the drywall/wood stairs to dampen the sound.
if someone has a solution that would help me out greatly
-thanks
Cam

can you cut some holes the the drywall and use blown in insulation, you can usually rent the blower from Home Depot

Cam,

Unfortunately there is no quick and easy solution for soundproofing. These links will give you some idea of what you’re looking at.

Thanks for the help guys, unfortunatly i cant blow holes in the walls. what i was really thinking of was some sort of mat that can be fastened to the wall as u see in movie theatres or in sound rooms.

What you’re seeing there is acoustical treatment to "deaden" the room by eliminating reflections. That has nothing to do with soundproofing.
