What are some inexpensive ways to soundproof a room?

My boyfriend may end up moving in with my parents and I because he can’t get along with his mom or dad at all (it’s honestly really really bad..) and the only thing he’s worried about is that he makes a lot of noise at night because he games until the wee hours of the morning, and tends to get angry and yell. I was wondering if there were some cheap ways to sound proof a room?

Answer #1

There is some excellent advice at this site. Note that you want sound reduction, and not sound absorption (for studios - changing the characteristics of a sound). It can be cheap but there is some work involved!

Answer #2

I dont think your parents need to change their house to conform to him, I think your boyfriend needs to not stay up so late and play video games. It doesnt sound like a very healthy life style.

Answer #3

my parent’s don’t care. they just don’t want to hear him. and he makes money from gaming.

Answer #4
