With coronavirus lockdowns and quarantines on the rise, YouTubers are transforming their rooms into video recording spaces. We all know how frustrating it is when you\u2019re bang right in the middle of a shoot and even your neighbour\u2019s low footsteps can ruin your video. Save yourself from the unwanted drama and soundproof your room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Make your room cosy with carpets and blankets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cover your floors with carpets. If you have thick blankets lying in your closet, this is a great time to put them to use. Hang them up on your walls and doors to keep the sound at bay. You can layer blankets one on top of the other until they\u2019re thick enough to absorb sounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Decorate your walls<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a more stylish alternative that doesn\u2019t spoil your room\u2019s decor, try lining your walls with tapestries and large paintings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Shut out the sound from windows<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sound that travels through windows can be pretty loud. Consider mounting <\/span>sound absorption curtains<\/span><\/a>, or blackout blinds on your window frame. You can find these on Amazon for a relatively low cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Cover the gaps in your doors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insert a door sweep between the bottom gap in your room door. You can shop for various options including <\/span>soft cloth draft blockers<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>wooden draft blockers<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>foam draft blockers<\/span><\/a> or get your own door jam sealing kit<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Make your windows sound-tight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tightly compress the tiny gaps in your windows and doors to drown out outside sounds. You can buy sound-tight seals like <\/span>weatherstripping adhesive tapes<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>rubber tapes<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
