Sound proofing
on: April 08, 2005, 12:29:12 PM
Has anyone sound proofed their music/bedroom room? I practice with headphones (electric grand piano - well its got a grand action) but the knocking from the keys can be annoyingly heard downstairs. I want to eliminate this and be able to play any time of day. Some details: 3 bed semi-detached house, currently use 3rd bedroom for music room with laminate flooring, but thinking of moving into 2nd bedroom (has carpet). Can you offer a way to achieve the "play any time and even without headphones" solution given the details above?
Thanks

Sure can!! Lay a carpet and line the walls with eggboxes. Then seal all the gaps around the door.
This is what my old schoolfriend Kavi did. He played the drums

Ive tried putting carpet under the piano and this doesnt make any difference. Not too keen on having egg boxes on the walls!
