Hello

I'm not usre if this is the best place to ask this, but here goes..

I live in a small apartment on the top floor, I have one neighbour who
unfortunately for him shares a wall with my noise room where I regularly
practise my mixing of techno and hardstyle. Obviously I have the monitor
speakers turned up ear bleadingly loud to emulate conditions at my favourite
night venues and a lot of these conditions evidently manifest themselves in
his living room...

Before I fall out with the neighbour completely, I have decided to look into
ways of *cheaply* reducing the volume of the sounds passing through our
shared wall without actually turning the volume of my music down. Some
people have recommended egg cartons, carpet tiles and even hanging a duvet
from the wall, but what I'd like to know is; do any of these methods
actually work? And if not, can anybody recommend some similarly cheap
alternatives?

TIA

No.

There isn't one. If there was a cheap solution, all houses would be built
with excellent sound proofing.

Do a Goggle search on the subject in uk.d-i-y - it comes up regularly.

It's called HEADPHONES, work every time and very cheap, do a whole house for
under £30, apply to head not to wall.

I already use head phones, I can't wear two pairs; that's just silly.

Build a room within the room, solid, airtight and
suspended on springs from the roof.
If that doesn't attenuate sufficiently,
build a room....

Thanks, I've been looking into that after doing a google search; but it's
far too expensive and time consuming to consider. Plus I think the room is
too small to lose precious space in this way.

It look's like my neighbours just gonna have to buy some head phones ;o)

Or a Glock.

You could ask when he's out and do your antisocial stuff then.
What about the people below you? Are they deaf too?
