Shana Russell on Oct 03, 2016Heavy curtains with blinds will help quiet outside noise. Adding throw rugs, can also help if you have someone downstairs who is noisy. And lastly, instead of using pictures in frames that may bounce from noise hang woven art. Good luck with your quiet room.Helpful Reply

IFortuna on Oct 04, 2016I see someone suggested foam egg cartons. My generation used the paper egg cartons and you can often find them in 18 to 24 egg size. I eat a lot of eggs. I am sure I could have sound proofed my entire house by now, ceiling to floor. LOL : )Helpful Reply

Bunny Harrison on Oct 04, 2016This idea was used in a dining room, but since it has a classic look it can go anywhere: using picture frame mold make rectangular frames, stuff cotton batting onto foam board, cover with fabric matching room, staple, and hang. Looks beautiful and absorbs sound.Helpful Reply

Wranglerold on Oct 14, 2016I have the old style aluminum doors with the lip on the back side. I measured the thickness an went to Lowe's an got it there,it comes in 24x48 X13/8 . You will have to cut it down to size an then work it in, its tight,but it will fit.Use a puffy knife on edges to help you out. I live out in southern Cali where it hits 105 in the summer an with this product an a fan blowing in the garage it's like 75 degrees.Helpful Reply
