How to Sound Proof Your Apartment Against Outside Noise

If your apartment has been noisy for whatever reason—loud neighbors or construction work going on—here are a few tips for sound proofing your home.

 

Thick drapes: hang thick drapes in your bedroom or living room to help absorb outside noise. Something as simple as this can make a huge difference.

 

Decorations: hang sound absorbing materials like fabrics and cork on your walls. Of course, this should be done with a stylish DIY project to help create a fun, yet useful piece of décor.

 

Furniture: arrange your furniture so that it block noise coming from the problem area. If your issue is with the balcony put furniture in a layout that will absorb the most sound coming from that area. This might seem small, but it will go a long way in reducing noise.
