Creating quiet in noisy apartment
-
Miss Kitty on Sep 01, 2014The best thing you can do since you live in a rental is to get as many layers of material on your wall as possible. If you could find an inexpensive but decorative, thick area rug (say 5' X 7') at a thrift or consignment store and hang it on your wall, it will help to buff the noise coming from the neighboring apartment. The more you put on that wall, the better, so hang some large pictures, heavy insulated draperies, etc. If you have hardwood floors you could use a large area rug there too to absorb some of the noise. Also, if you would run a fan at night while you are trying to sleep, that would also help some. Good luck!Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Sep 01, 2014Lowe's and Home Depot sell styrofoam in 4x8' sheets which you could cover in fabric, decorate, and/ or even spray paint to tack onto the wall with command strips. This may help lessen the noise. Or as Miss Kitty suggested hang a rug, heavy blanket or even heavy drapes on the wall to help absorb. Fabric and rugs do absorb noise. good luckHelpful Reply

Janie Lou on Sep 02, 2014@ WELL I WOULD PUT A FOAM CRATE ON THE WALL YOU KNOW THE KIND THAT GOES ON TOP OF THE MATTRESS.............HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WORKED WONDERS. JUST HANG A CURTAIN TO HIDE IT OR MOVE YOUR BED IN FRONT TO LOOK LIKE A HEADBOARD OR A BLANKET OR A RUB OR MAYBE THE NEIGHBORS CAN MOVE THE TVHelpful Reply
