Quiet Down the Noisy House - Continued

This may not stop all sounds from the screaming children or the running through the house, but it sure is going to put a stop to hearing the television or the radio from the next room when you are trying to sleep or work.

Among other things, you can also use foam insulation and fill in cracks or areas of the windows and walls where sound is entering where you do not want it to be. Foam insulation is available by the can and is very inexpensive, but in some cases, it could take a lot of foam insulation to stop a lot of noise. 

Insulating the ceilings in your home is going to put a muffle over most noises in the house. You can use fiberglass, blown or rigid board insulation. This is going to help keep your home warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and it is going to help put a stop too much of the noises in the house. Even insulation in the ceilings in the first floor leading to the second floor is going to put a stop to more noise than you could have imagined!

Taking a little time, and a little money, you can make a noisy home one that is comfortable even when there are seven people living in the house!
