Inexpensive & Simple Way To Soundproof Your Room

Everyone in this world wants to have a room of their choice and that room they can make their own.For me its my home office where I can work with concentration but despite of doing many efforts I was unable to keep my family quite while I worked.So I decided to soundproof my room but did not have a lot of money and time to do so. I simply followed the following step and got the soundproofing done by my own. Now even the loudest kid cartoon cannot penetrate :P.

Windows in the room acts as a major source of noise.Despite popular belief, no need to buy expensive soundproofing windows to get the results, simply use acoustical caulk and caulk around the edges to fill the gaps created during the installation process.

My next step was to soundproof the walls of my room. I placed bookshelves, dressers, paintings on the walls as it increases the space between the sharing walls.If you have some budget then you can also install the acoustic wall panels as this is the best solution.

Finally, I replaced my old carpet with the new extra thick  carpet pad. Doing this ensures that I won't be disturbing anyone living in the rooms below me & vice versa.
