I get woken up regularly when my neighbour closes a door, because it makes a "thump" sound.
I'm renting, so I can't make any structural changes to my flat, but I am wi lling to put any sound proofing materials in the room which is next to the "noisy wall".
Slightly unfortuntately, this wall is in a stairwell. However, I can put t he materials anywhere else in the room, immediately next to the stairwell f or instance. Also, I don't mind how much room the materials occupy, as I d on't use the room for anything in particular.
I was thinking of using "free standing sound proof panels", if they exist. The height of the room is 2 metres, and so it would be very convenient to get panels with that particular dimension. It would also be very convenien t if they stood up easily by themselves, although if not, I suppose I could make them upright and stable by wedging something between the top of the p anels and the ceiling.
It really doesn't matter at all about their appearance, so they don't have to be fancy looking panels suitable for an office.
Can anyone recommend anything that might be suitable please? Thanks a lot for any comments!
