Soundprofing my windows
Hi everyone, I recently bought a house, finished renovating and after sleeping in it for one month, I found out about this little problem. The noise that comes from outside, such as neighbours' music, people talking on the street, cars passing by... It's not unbeareable, but I would like to slightly decrease outside decibels if possible. My question is, would 1 or 2 plates polystyrol that would fit into this empty space do the job or should I avoid wasting my time? I was thinking putting one plate of 15cm/6inches or maybe two of 7cm/3 inches with a little gap between them so this transition of the sound would be even more decreases? Any other materials? I am not good at this, so thanks in advance for any advice! https://imgur.com/a/OVl4ncP submitted by /u/28Marcus [link] [comments]
