    Soundproofing a room is either:
    – Insanely Expensive
    or
    – Insanely much work

    Basically you have to build a room inside your room, with a wooden frame that is “floating” on rubber spacings on the outside room. Then fill the whole thing with isolating materials and drywall it again. And if you do any number of small things wrong, your soundproofing goes out the window…

    Try here! Both have cheap alternatives, but like Terry said you will never fully soundproof a room unless you spend Billions of ££££!! lol Although the 2 links below have some pretty decent stuff and are Quite cheap!

    I mean i don’t mind putting in effort (I put the drywall up myself, and most of the insulation when it was first built), but just reducing mostly the bass thump would be okay, because everything else seems to be contained as long as the doors are closed

    Hehe the bass is why you need so much effort as it is the hardest to isolate… this is why in a studio, most of the time drumsets are in their own little room who is 2 times as sound proofed as the rest of the studio…
