Living in an apartment comes with a number of perks, from a lower rent versus a mortgage, or a smaller space to clean up versus a house, to simply lesser maintenance chores around the place you live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But as a renter, there are limitations to what you can do to improve our living quarters, but what if you are living in an area where noise pollution is high? It could be due to living near a busy road, noisy neighbors above or next door, or generally poor soundproofing<\/a> throughout the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of us have lived in a rental and have experienced our landlord delaying making improvements to the place<\/a>, So, we’ve had to take things into our own hands. Before we made any changes though, we made sure to inform the landlord that these were not permanent fixtures and would not damage any part of the property.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. You may want to dampen sounds within your apartment<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You may want to dampen sounds getting into your apartment\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. It may be a mix of both\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Keep in mind that it is not just about \u201cblocking\u201d sounds coming and going from the apartment. It\u2019s also about the apartment itself and how it handles sound.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Quieting the apartment itself<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Bare walls and floors, and hard flat surfaces will all echo and even to magnify sounds in your apartment. What can you do to prevent that?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
