Soundproof Your Bedroom on a Budget with These Tips

Out of all the many rooms in a home, the bedroom is the one you will want to focus on the most in terms of soundproofing. It is good for your mental and physical health to sleep in a nice and quiet bedroom. Quality sleep at night will make a huge difference in your overall productivity levels, your ability to focus, and your mood.

There are many different things you can do to make your bedroom nice and quiet. In this guide, we are going to take a look at the best concepts for blocking out annoying noises.

Treat the Windows With Add-On Double Glazing

Most of the street noises you hear inside your bedroom are able to enter because sound waves can easily travel through average window types. A good way to block out all that noise pollution is by getting added on double glazing. When you get add-on double glazing, an additional layer is installed to your current window panes. 

This product will create an added barrier of neutral air that blocks sound waves and helps drown out some of the noises you hear. Your entire bedroom will be much quieter and you will still maintain the full functionality of your old windows.

Install Thick Carpets

Soft flooring absorbs a lot more sound compared to hard floor types like tile or hardwood. If you want to drown out the sounds coming from outside and perhaps warm up your bedroom then it is a good idea to look for a soft wall-to-wall carpet. You can also consider a thick floor rug or a couple of loose rugs if you don’t have the funds for a complete carpet floor.

Seal the Door

The area around the door can also let a lot of sound from your bedroom escape. A good way to keep your bedroom private is by installing a door seal around the door and by adding a door sweep. With these sweeps and sealants in place, everything you do or say in your bedroom will stay nice and discreet.

Consider Acoustic Curtains

Add-on double glazing is going to drown out most of the noises you hear coming from outside, but it won’t block out all sounds. If you want to make your bedroom quieter, it might be time to switch to acoustic curtains. These curtains look like any ordinary curtain but they are with a thicker polyester blend fabric that absorbs some of the sound waves. 

Add More Furniture

Adding more furniture to your bedroom will also enhance the soundproof qualities of the room. This is because any heavy matter you add to the room will absorb and deflect some of the sound waves. Consider a large solid wood sofa for your bedroom, or add a solid blanket box behind your bed. Other accessories like ottoman or potted plants can also reduce echoes and make your bedroom quieter.

It is always best to start your soundproofing journey with Stop Noise. Add-on double glazing won’t affect the look or functionality of your bedroom, yet will offer the best soundproofing results. From there on, there are lots of other soundproofing accessories that you can gradually install so you can create a bedroom that is ultimately peaceful.
