| Turn it down. 85 dB is enough for anything and won't wake the neighbors. |

Have you tried a Power Soak? To keep loud sounds in you need isolated walls and mass. Brick walls or concrete is good. In an apartment? Good luck. Foam won't do it. Sorry I am not more helpful. | |

| Sorry but correct. Soundproofing and cheap don't go together. It takes mass and physical decoupling/isolation. Maybe it would be cheaper to build a temporary iso-booth to play in. Doing an apartment just isn't feasible. Bryan

| this is true...I have a garage that has an aluminum door blocked up with like 2 or 3 mattress beds, and it sounds like there is nothing blocking the sound, you need heavy heavy drapes at least or brick or concrete something heavy and dense. |

| Every one told Henry Ford that the V8 engine could not be done… well guess what he did it!!! I have done some experiments with different items commonly available and I have had some pleasing results BUT this idea is still in the infant stages.. so there is still a long way to go.. and yes I am a guitarist Bill |
