...as a budget-friendly measure to soundproof a house with paper-thin walls? Can hear everything and we've been good at laying down ground rules for times to shht as much as possible, but even things like hushed conversations, brushing our teeth and flicking light switches seem amplified around. I don't want to live like a nun, ideally! I've considered:

  • moving furniture around so wardrobes sit on the walls of adjoining bedrooms, to muffle noise.
  • putting (cheap) thick masking tape on insides of door panels.
  • hanging thick card posters or fabrics on walls.
  • locating Zayn and inviting him to sing to us 24/7 as a distraction.

Tips or previous experience of this would be much appreciated! Or unwanted 1D fan objects.

i would add furniture to 'absorb' the sound, and carpet upstairs if its possible or to your taste?

no shoes upstairs makes a massive difference if this isn't already done

Thanks! Yes, it seems that the rooms with most furniture are the quietest. Are soundproofing boards effective foe within a house, or are they more to shield between neighbourly noises?
