Natural Science Forum / Physics / Acoustics / February 2005noise personal defense
I am tortured by impact noises coming from upstairs. I sleep with inserts "earsoft" and with a muffler "peltor optime 3". What else defense to add? What do you think of a insulated cabinet? Where to find one? Thanks Ant, Have you tried talking to the upstairs neighbors? They probably don't know they are bothering your sleep. You could offer to buy them some carpet runners for high traffic areas. Other that that, you are looking at rather costly modifications to improve the impact isolation of the structure. You might try adding a noise generator in your bedroom to create a steady background noise such that the intruding impact noise is not as disrupting. Sharper Image and Radio Shack have these devices.
