Things such as sound absorbing and diffusion panels are typically used for improving the sound quality of your room after it has already been soundproofed. They will do nothing to soundproof the room.
The problem with any kind of sound proofing or room within a room method is that it is very expensive. 15 years a ago, I knew a guy who soundproofed his garage so he could play his drums and the materials alone cost him $5000. It wasn't even completely soundproof either because you could still hear the drums if you got within several feet of the garage. Your subwoofers will be especially difficult to soundproof especially in an apartment. The only suggestion I can think of is to move to a town where houses are more affordable. I hope things work out for you one way or another. |

Thanks. I don't know about houses when I get from ss $754/month. I've been told it's possible from a loan officer but I'd have to live in the boonies. Far from where I am now. But then quicken loans says different kind of. Like no basically unless it's short sale or foreclosure type. And even then they said $30k max. But I have talked to someone last year that said she's helped others like me. So I don't know.
Hopefully kcha will work with me. |

Not trolling. Are you kidding or just trying to be mean to me?

Isn't there something to put on the wall that will lower vol of external noise? There's got to be a way to do what I'm asking. External noise is affecting me HUGE. I have several mental disorders and the external noise is totally wrecking havoc in me. I'm afraid. I'm OCD. Anxiety disorder. ADHD. Depression. Aspergers Syndrome. Tourette Syndrome. This is an absolute necessity that I get a handle on this issue.

Thanks. Ugh. Not something kcha will do or let me do. I guess I'm just sol and will have to be transferred to somewhere else or to another organization which I'll have to go through the same thing again. Not gonna happen.
There's gotta be an organization to help me find a place that meets my needs ( |

The suggestion to use headphones so you can listen at decent volumes and block out extraneous noise is a good one. You need to make some accommodations too. Last edited by GaryProtein; 04-21-2017 at 11:53 AM. |

If you are in a housing authority owned dwelling, there is a very good possibility that federal funds support in part, the housing authority's budget. If that is the case your unit is likely subject to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act [Please note: this is not legal advice and is not intended to be such]. The housing authority may have an obligation to provide the accommodation you need. You should contact HUD's Region X office in Seattle and tell them what your problem is and if they can help. HUD and also ngo housing advocacy agencies are very aggressive in the Pacific Northwest. You may find some help there.

Robfine, thanks. Such a nice dog in your pic.
I forgot about the advocate route. There is an accommodation process. I been through it. But the guy seems unwilling to even try. He won't even talk to others to see if there's anything to do. I thought to ask here since you all seem to know about sound treating and stuff for theaters. |
