How to Soundproof a Party Wall

Whether you live in an apartment complex or a crowded neighborhood, soundproofing your wall for parties provides your neighbors with peace and quiet. It also allows you the ability to get wild and loud for your next party, or even set up a home music studio. Soundproofing your party walls proves to be an easy task to complete that doesn't require very many materials at all. This makes it easy for you to enjoy a loud environment with your friends and party guests.

Things You'll Need

• Measuring tape
• Acoustic foam
• Thumb tacks (2 inch)
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Measure your party walls with tape measure. Measure their height from the floor to the ceiling and the width. Do this for every wall that needs to be soundproofed. Measuring the walls lets you know how much acoustic foam you need.

2. Cut a length from the roll of acoustic foam meeting the measurement of the width of a wall.

3. Place the top corner of the length of foam into the top corner of the wall. Tack it into place with a thumbtack. Repeat this step with the other top corner of the acoustic foam.

4. Tack the bottom corners of the acoustic foam length into the wall. Place a thumbtack into the center of the piece to further secure it.

5. Cut another length of acoustic foam to fill in gaps that need to be soundproofed. Make sure to tack those into place as well. Repeat these steps with all the party walls that need to be soundproofed.
