I have a question about sealing up 2 windows in my bedroom to at least prevent some of the sound from escaping. It's a splitlevel, so about halfway up the wall is underground. I'm pretty sure plugging up the window would help quite a bit with the sound transmissions outside (especially due to the fact that the windows suck and hardly seal.) I'll hopefully be getting new ones this summer, that should help too I would assume.
Anyone have some designs for some cheap window plug type things that could be removed for safety reasons? I was thinking something like a 4'x5' sheet of plywood with something attached to the window side of the wood (this material is my main concern, I want cheap but effective, who doesnt!
) and having some sort of rubber seal to the wall. Any help is very appreciated! By the way, I'm in the flooring business so I have a lot of access to different carpets, carpet pad, wood floor sound transmission pad. (It's like a very dense/heavy gray padding about 1/4", you put it under floating wood floors to prevent sound on floors below, I'm not sure if this would work well if I stacked like 6 layers on or something
) Lookin to spend like 150 bucks (mainly for this material that I should use to prevent the sound transmission, I know it won't be perfect but at least something to try to keep my neighbors sane!), I already have plywood if that could be used. Thanks all!
