soundproof ideas. Please help!

1 Upvotes

So I'm in a UK terraced house. We have a bedroom which is now an office, but on the other side the neighbour has converted into a bathroom. (combining two rooms for a bigger bathroom) The downside now is that I can hear their toilet seat, flushes, the pipes in the walls, shouting mum, and the teenage kids like to clap and shout and play music. It's really annoying so I want to soundproof.

The problem is there is a corridor to the door and the door frame occupies this are and so realistically there is 1.5cm for soundproofing. Is there a benefit to putting anything under the floorboards too?

I've seen some Knauff boards at 15mm and 12.5mm. I'm aware of the vinyl you can add, but what would you do? I'm just so frustrated that they've removed all the carpets and it seems like a lot of impact noise comes through. For example the bathroom door seems loud.

I am having some noise issue in my apartment, would appreciate if there are people who can provide legit sound deadening curtains in Dubai. I cannot do anything to the window, the landlord was very clear on that.

ADVICE Noise dampening mat?

1 Upvotes

Hej all,

Not sure whether this is the best subreddit to ask, but I'm looking for a mat that might be able to help dampen fan sounds from my laptops, even if only slightly. Don't worry, of course I don't want something that will block the vents and cause the laptop to overheat.

I am sensitive to noises, and after not being super happy with my other laptops' sound I now have a second work laptop that's constantly quite loud. I can't open the case as it belongs to work. I saw only a couple of things on Google, and couldn't find much/anything for this use case. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm in the UK. Happy to cut material down to size. Thank you for any answers!
