Do You Lack Privacy in Your Apartment?
- One of the most valued features of owning your residence is having privacy. But it’s sometimes difficult to be sure if you have complete privacy in your apartment. If you can hear your neighbors, you can imagine they can probably hear you as well. Why do the walls of your apartment seem so thin? Well, there’s nothing that requires that your building owner use soundproof materials when building the apartment, and it’s an extra expense that many building owners probably choose to avoid. Since you often share your walls with your neighbors, this means easy transmission of sound from one apartment to another. But you don’t have to live with this lack of privacy. With the proper soundproofing materials, you can make it so that your neighbors’ conversations and sounds won’t bother you, and you won’t have to worry about them listening in on your conversations or bothering them with your noise.

What Apartment Soundproofing Can Do for You
-
- Greater privacy: By stopping noise before it transmits from your apartment to those adjacent to you, you dramatically reduce the likelihood of neighbors being able to hear your conversations.
- Better quality of life: The sounds of noisy neighbors can be extremely irritating, especially if they keep different hours from you. Soundproofing means you no longer have to be bothered by noisy neighbors or loud street sounds.

How Do I Know What Type of Soundproofing I Need?
- To decide which soundproofing approach is right for you, ask yourself two simple questions: First, what are the most intrusive noises you are hearing? For example, are you most bothered by street construction? Neighbors chattering? Traffic noises? Dogs barking? Second, where is the biggest problem coming from? Are you unable to hear the TV in your own apartment because of poor sound quality? Are you constantly hearing conversations in the hall outside your apartment? Do you hear people stomping their feet on your ceiling in the middle of the night? Knowing WHAT and WHERE you’re trying to block or improve with respect to sound can make your soundproofing decisions much easier. If your issue is with the quality of sound inside your apartment, you want sound absorption products, which dull ambient sound so you can focus on the sounds you want to hear. If your issue is with being overheard or with intrusive noises from outside, you need apartment soundproofing products. If the troublesome sounds are coming from above, ceiling acoustical treatments are the answer. If they are coming from below, it’s floor acoustical treatments. If they are coming from the same level, wall acoustical treatments are probably what you need. For complete protection against unwanted sounds, you may want to invest in multiple apartment soundproofing materials.

Choosing the Right Product for Your Soundproofing Needs
- Be sure to talk to your landlord or property manager before installing soundproofing, as this may violate the terms of your lease. If soundproofing is not permitted, solutions like thick area rugs and thicker curtains may help. Assuming you are able to use soundproofing products, choose sound absorption products to control and enhance acoustics in your space.
