No matter your location in NYC, many New Yorkers have unwanted noise coming into their homes. Traffic, neighbors with loud stereos, TVs, kids and parties all are a bother. It’s easy to soundproof your home. First here’s ideas that you can do yourself. Later we’ll explore how Team Handy Dan helps clients quiet down outside noise with some simple, inexpensive solutions.

How To Soundproof Your NYC Apartment

Let’s start with inexpensive soundproofing ideas. To soundproof a room without drilling holes, you can consider the following ideas: Add lots of soft materials to your home. Place that heavy overstuffed sofa against a wall. Add blankets and rugs. Put up heavy curtains at the windows. And voila, your home is quieter because all these soft materials absorb sound waves. In other words, these materials deaden sound. These soundproofing ideas are perfect for renters. There are no permanent changes done to your space. When you move, just take all your soundproofing items with you. And of course, your security deposit will once again be yours.
