Sometimes the noise isn't too bad and reducing it by a few db brings it into an acceptable range for you. I also think that expectations regarding acceptable levels of volume reduction are really important and rarely considered. (against all standard advice) and also building a cloud above my mix position which solved frequency issues others said were impossible to fix based on physics.
#THE LOFT SOUND STUDIO ISO#
My other dumb ideas were creating an iso setup for a guitar amp which has worked unbelievably well. I suspect it will help a bit but won't solve the issue. It really matters to consider what someone's goal is.
#THE LOFT SOUND STUDIO WINDOWS#
Even pressing up some fibreglass panels on my windows really helped keep the outside noise out when I first converted my room. I do think that smaller ad hoc approaches do help. Either you build the thing right from the beginning properly and seal it up like a boat or you just live with all noise. I often feel that in these discussions, it's a scorched earth approach. Sometimes closing your window blocks out the noise enough for you to sleep. I know much less than others here on this topic but I like to try myself. Physics hasn't changed but approaches do.

In 10-15 years, it will def change again. If you look at expert acoustic advice in this forum and others from even 10-15 years ago, it's quite different. (against all standard advice) and also building a cloud above my mix position which solved frequency issues others said were impossible to fix based on physics.ĭon't get me wrong, most of my dumb ideas don't work but I'm a fan on experimenting for myself and learning the hard way. Please report back as to whether the results are worth the money spent.Yeah I totally will. Nobody else has to love it.Īnd it isn’t an anti-gravity machine or a plan to record in a vacuum, so it isn’t completely crazy. Your “dumb idea” is getting enough love from you that you are going to go ahead with it. This can have s pretty dramatic effect if you've not got a well sealed room yet. At least with caulking and door seals and window plugs you'd have something that last so no wasted money. There's no really fast or cheap way to get isolation unfortunately. If the room is not insulated you could probably start there before adding mass. And make a plug for the window(s) out of something cheap like drywall.īeyond that you'd have to cover your walls, ceiling, and probably floor with additional mass. Seal up the door with regular weatherstrip. I understand the false promises of MLV but can’t think of better productYou can make sure all holes, gaps, cracks, pipe penetrations, outlets, ect are sealed with caulking. If you close the door in a room, you get volume reduction. Please keep in mind in responses that I’m only looking for volume reduction. I understand the false promises of MLV but can’t think of better product
In this case, due to its malleability and weather proof qualities. As I understand, MLV is similar to a single layer of drywall but very expensive. It only needs to be temporary volume reduction. (Currently blacked out) I’d be looking for air tight covering as much as possible.ī) I could even cover the entire tiled roof and window from outside in MLV. The mass loaded vinyl could also cover the window.
I know I can’t soundproof this room but was considering ways of trying to reduce volume.Ī) I know everyone HATES mass loaded vinyl but could I perhaps remove the tiles on roof and place an air tight layer that the tiles sit on. You can even hear rain on tiled roof sometimes. It is treated well but with no sound proofing at all. My studio is upstairs in a loft with a tiled roof above. They are situated 85 feet away from my studio room with nothing blocking the path. My neighbours are rebuilding their house which is going to make lots of noise and take 6 months.
