The easiest way to stop a neighbor’s loud music from bothering you is to soundproof the wall. In fact, one of the questions I get asked the most is “How do I stop a neighbor’s loud music from bothering me?” Luckily, it’s not that difficult to solve the problem. Muffled voices – ok.It’s fair to assume that almost everyone will have at some point lived next to a noisy neighbor.
But as for that, I would like to find a solution where I can be assured that eavesdroppers won’t be able to hear actual WORDS. And if he didn’t rage out every time he sees me, I could tell him that I don’t spend all day looking at my neighbour’s ins and outs.Īnyway, sorry, this became about more than soundproofing. But nowadays you are being filmed almost consistently every time you leave your house, so he needs to get things into perspective regarding my camera. (Maybe that’s why he rages…because my camera angers him). I only caught this from checking live feed from ‘motion detected’ notification. Anyway, when I put mine up, he put one up (from the same company) on HIS door within 12 hours! And I have happened to notice that he wears a towel over his head and face EVERY TIME he appears in front of my camera. Unfortunately it faces directly onto his apartment door, but I am not interested in others’ comings and goings as I DO have my own life, so if nothing has happened, I erase it without watching it every 2-3 months. So I installed the peephole camera/doorbell. Maybe he hates redheads?ģ) Someone tried to break into my apartment about 10 months ago, judging by the damage to my door and door hardware when I got back one evening after being out for about 4 hours.
I didn’t really take any notice of anyone 10 years older than me until I was in my 40’s.Ģ) I trigger him to rage and he screams at me every time he sees me even though we have no background to speak of. I shouldn’t even show up on the edge of his radar. At his AGE he should have a full, robust, life of his own. And geez I never saw myself as particularly attractive. What is weird is that:ġ) a young man in the prime of his life cares THIS MUCH about what is going on in MY life!!! I mean, I am 46. I hop that the blanket ONTOP of what is already there will do the trick.īTW, at the beginning I said that the neighbour is weird. Because knowledge is power and people can edit what they heard to fit their own narrative. It is a very violating feeling when you have caught an eavesdropper and know that they may be gossiping to the neighbours about what they hear (my co-op is extremely social).
Mass loaded vinyl for door manual#
So I painstakingly installed soundproofing foam squares (like the ones you see in home YouTube studios) on the inside of my door, a rubber door gasket, AND a foam door sweep on the bottom of my door, but after ALL OF THIS, I tested it by having my friend read from a manual at normal voice level, and I could still hear him and could make out most of the words he was saying.Īfter reading your article, I will try the soundproofing blanket, that I can roll up above my door- and I will leave up the soundproofing foam and unroll the blanket OVER the soundproofing that is already there. The other thing he does is when he is coming in or out, he will find a reason to pause in-front of my door for 5 minutes and fumble for something ONLY IF CONVO IS GOING ON IN MY APT.
The motion is either him cracking his door open to hear into my apartment better, because he was probably pressing his ear against the inside of his door and wasn’t hearing enough of my business. I have been having phone conversations or having a friend over, and I get a motion alert 3/4 of the time when there is conversation in my apartment. I know 100% that he does this because I have a doorbell camera that turns on and records by motion detection. He’s a fairly young man (early to mid 30’s?), and he is constantly trying to eavesdrop on any conversation leaking from my apartment. I have a strange, busybody neighbour right across from me.
