Soundproof ANY Door for $20!

The u-shape dorr sweep is blocking free door movement

so which is it, 3 or 10?.......I don't think any of this can muffle my screams

The bottom of your door is used as a path for air to return to the AC unit. If air cannot make it's way back to the AC, no new air will enter and your room will be hot/cold. May cause humidity problems also if air cannot migrate around as it should.

Bullshit video

It's not a problem for me I'm married...

I did all this in the video using only 5 dollars using the dollar express on AliExpress.

Why not just hang some felt on the back of the door?

what's the point in soundproofing the door when your walls are paper and air lol

Is there a doorsweep for carpet?

Behind the walls is the start. Then upgrade your door slab. Make sure it fits the jamb properly too. Another cheap option for where the weather stripping went is a thick bead of clear paintable caulk. Then wrap the door in plastic wrap. While Caulk is wet close door until it just latches, maybe even a mm short, and let caulk set. Then open door and remove plastic wrap. Perfect seal

I'm probably not the first person to comment this but I wonder how many people want to learn how to sound proof their bedroom so their kids don't hear them doing the nasty. 😂 That's why I'm here. Texas in the house!

Thank you good idea but the gap allows air to circulate between rooms, which is particularly important in homes with central heating or air conditioning systems. It helps balance air pressure and maintain consistent airflow. In some cases, gaps are part of a fire safety design to ensure smoke can travel to smoke detectors more quickly.

how to soundproof glass windows which have gaps on the joints😓😓

What type of door sweep would be most effective if the door is over carpet?

Hi! Where are the product links?

Just use a gag ball folks 😅

Just hang up rugs on walls and doors dont block the central air airflow

I was sure you were going to hand the cohabitant $20 to leave so they don’t hear you and your partner opening those loud plastic cheesecake containers of shame. Sadly, your method might not work against them, but at least it blocks out other people’s poor taste in music. 🙃

Are you crazy

This was helpful.. thanks for the videos that you are uploading.. you are doing great!

Really good advice from a Europan: Dont build your house out of paper.
But nice Video.

The only problem is your ac and heating will be offset the gaps in your door allows airflow to your returns where you place your filters causing bad efficiency and uneven room temperature

This won’t work for me. My room is in the back of the house and we have central a/c. The gap at the bottom has to be there to allow air flow and return back to the unit. I was hoping I could attach something to the back of my door, like cork or something.

They'll still hear me with your wife in your bedroom.... sincerely, Big Balls.

6dB is half, not 3dB...just so you have accurate information.

The soundproofing of the door will also provide additional insulation for heating/cooling (save money). Thought I'd add that to your helpful vid. Overall your recommendation is a very good idea.

Clearly made by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. Grammar is garbage too.

LOOOOOOOL !!!! This your American paper houses !!! xD ...In Europe we use bricks to build houses xD .. We have no problems with noise

I've installed toughened glass single pane 12mm on my window completely sealed.

Free solution: just stop oinking like rutting hogs.

Who has that kind of money

In a well-sealed room without central air, make sure you periodically ventilate if you're going to do this, and leave a window cracked if you're going to sleep there. The undercut under the door normally functions to provide enough air change to keep it from getting really stale. For interior doors, I tend to just put a rolled up towel at the bottom of the door temporarily to block noise. The weather stripping is a great idea regardless.

FYI that foam is available in white. Also, you should have shown the dB level with no music playing. People forget that a quiet room still registers dBs. Also, Apple Watch and other devices can measure dBs. Sometimes a third party app is needed. I’ve tested the Apple Watch with a dB reader like the one you use and it’s very accurate.

I’d appreciate a whole series on keeping sound from getting out of the bedroom.

Thanks for the nice video! But remember, the gap under the door is also for airflow. If you make doors too sealed, you block the airflow from windows to the kitchen or bathroom, where the extractor fan helps circulate fresh air and reduce CO2 levels. Also, for sound dB difference tests, it's better to use white or brown noise—it gives more accurate results and is copyright-free.

pro tip: use white weather strip to match/blend into door jamb..

will mess up your AC flow if you do this

I guess I need another door then haha

Im trying to keep my kids from hearing the wife and i at night

Your hvac will not function properly. You need 1" gap at bottom of ALL DOORS for air circulation of return air.

Funny is I had Hard foam from Tv I bought And Glued it to my door It was bulky yeah but it definitely worked Um Soundproof wise But My landlord didn't really like it and thought that I was nuts So I had to take it down so I'm looking for something else to soundproof because I really hate how thin my my door is and it's like so thin That you can see threw it in alot of places And I don't like that Everybody can hear everything in my apartment building my door doesn't have room at the bottom

What was this video titled nobody tells you this what is the answer to that question exactly why don't they tell you that you can buy weather stripping or I don't get it

Very good explanation

I've never heard you mention the door handle in any of your videos. There's a good-sized hole in the door that's covered by the handle; I imagine sound is getting through there. There's at least one solution to this, but what difference would it make to fill/remove that hole? I suggest you test this if you haven't yet.

Drill hole, expander foam….

I need help trying to sound proff my cellar door but it's really thin and is like a gate type of door and have a big hole where the door nob j presume was iI rent I wana do music down there
