How to Soundproof Your
Home Office for Better Productivity.
Now that more of us are working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an efficient workspace is crucial.
Here are some tips provided by
bobvila.com to control outside noise.
1. If you don’t already have one,
switch to a solid wood door, It will absorb more sound than
the common hollow-core door.
2. Install a door sweep
or something similar, This will stop sound from sneaking
through the space under the door.
3. Add rugs, This will prevent sound from
bouncing off the floor.
4. Install
acoustic panels, They will absorb sound
that typically bounces
off of bare walls.
5. Caulk holes
and cracks, You can find caulk made
especially for soundproofing.
6. Install a
drop ceiling, If noise is coming from the
floor above you, installing a
drop ceiling can provide a
barrier of sound absorption.
7. Update windows, If it’s in your budget, swap out
any single-pane windows for
double or triple-pane windows.
