Hi, I'm Fyn. Sound engineer in Portland, OR. Into retro computing (mostly 80s home computers), mechanical keyboards, and climbing. I've been around the fediverse a while now (Mastodon - @fyn@mstdn.party) and wanted a home on the forum side of things. Nice to meet you all, and happy to answer any questions.

If you don’t own the place, forget about it. If you do, and you’re serious, put up a metal channel on the wall to create space and use sound damping material in between the wall and channel, then put another layer of drywall with sound damping material. Low frequencies make vibrations through anything connected so even the ceiling could be a resonator. You’re gonna have to either isolate the room with the sound or the room you want to be sound proof. It’s a big job.

    I am a rentoid unfortunately. I was wanting to make myself a sound proof box around my bed so I could sleep in perfect silence.

    Oh, you could make a box. Won’t be cheap tho. The main thing will be isolating the box from the floor.

    Shouldn't be that expensive, the distance is already decent so they shouldn't have to hat clip or anything crazy, isolate from the floor by resting it on rockwool.

    You're looking $400 bucks probably
