Drywall Soundproofing – The Complete Guide

Drywall Soundproofing – The Complete Guide

As a homeowner, there are many reasons why you may want to make your walls soundproof. If you wish to keep out external sounds from your home or minimize the noise coming from the next room, you can create a drywall sound barrier. This is where drywall soundproofing comes in.

 

Why Install Soundproof Drywall?

Soundproof drywall barriers help you to contain the sound inside your room, allowing you to maintain a high level of privacy. Keep in mind that sounds can easily go through standard drywall. That means it’s crucial for you to install a soundproof drywall barrier if you want to control the sound. This is why drywall soundproofing is important.

Though there are various ways of creating soundproof barriers, installing special soundproof drywall is the best way to go about it. These useful noise mitigation products are easy to install over walls, without necessarily having to demolish them. They don’t necessarily require specialized skills and you can use them even without the knowledge of how they work. However, we will explain this below.

 

How Does Soundproof Drywall Work?

Before looking at how they work, it’s worth mentioning that soundproof drywalls are more effective than multiple layers of standard drywall. These products are made of several layers of gypsum and other materials, depending on their expected level of performance. They are also wrapped in thick liners of paper or rubber, to create a mass of drywall panels. The materials used work very well in creating a barrier to block noise through your wall surfaces.

Soundproof drywall panels quickly dissipate sound when hit, minimizing noise from the echo and re-vibration. They also help to keep out other noises, but the results also depend on other materials used to create the wall. However, soundproof drywall is your best option if sound leakage is your biggest concern. The installation process is also simple, but you may need a handyman if you’re not up to the task.

 

How to Install Soundproofing Drywall

Soundproof drywalls can be installed to replace ordinary drywalls and kill noise. The installation process may take some time, but it’s generally very simple.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install them:

• Before starting the installation process, you should check for any holes or cracks in your wall and close them. That’s because any space on the wall can allow a certain amount of sound to go through to the next room.
• You may need to install soundproof insulation such as this OWENS Acoustic Insulation to create a little more distance between your wall and the external noise. The insulation will also help you to close any cracks or openings in the wall. Remember that the walls need to be as airtight as possible, for maximum results.
• Use a standard drywall knife such as this Drywall Axe All-in-one Utility Knife to cut the soundproof panels into functional pieces while installing. The boards are easy to cut,and you can install them the same way as ordinary drywall.
• Using regular drywall screws, attach the soundproof drywall panels directly to the studs. You can use threaded screws to install the panels on walls with wooden studs or finescrews for walls with metal studs.
• Optionally, you can use resilient channels to maximize the soundproofing results. Resilient channels are metallic structures attached to the wall studs, before attaching the soundproof drywall on top of them.
• After installing the soundproof drywall, you will need to check for any gaps or cracks in the wall and seal them using soundproof glue. It’s essential to cover the entire perimeter of your wall, to ensure that only a minimum amount of sound can go through.
• You should check all the electrical cutouts on your wall and seal them. That means you have to seal switches and power outlets, to minimize unwanted sound leakage in your room.
• After installing the soundproof drywall, you are free to tape, mud or paint your room and start enjoying the experience.

 

Drywall Soundproofing Options

Though there are only a few soundproofing drywall products on the market, you can easily find something that will work for your walls. These brands include:

1. Quiet rock

Quiet rock is a high-class product that is not only soundproof but also fire resistant. It is made with lower quantities of materials, allowing them to take less space than other products. The best part is that they are very good at limiting the sound in your room and you don’t need any special tools to install them.

 

2. Quiet coat

If you don’t want to replace your wall with the soundproof drywall, quietcoat is just the thing for you. This product is available in paint-form,and it helps you to reduce the noise comingfrom your appliances. You can apply them to various surfaces, but they are most suitable for rooms with electrical devices like computers, air-conditioning units, and others.

 

3. Quiet wood

As the name suggests, this soundproofing product is made of wood and is effective at controlling noise. The panels have an internal reinforcement of different soundproofing materials,and you can use them instead of conventional plywood products.

Besides these products, you can find several other soundproofing drywall options on the market. Keep in mind that these products may cost little more than ordinary drywall products, but they are worth it if you really want to reduce noise.

 

Drywall Soundproofing Cost

So with all this talk about drywall soundproofing, you may be wondering – ‘how much does all this cost?’ Well, that depends on a few things, including the type of drywall soundproofing material you choose and where you go to purchase.

For example, you can get QuietRock #510 for just over $50 per 1/2″ thick, 4′ x 8′ panel at Lowe’s.

Let’s say that’s too expensive for you and you decide to use conventional, thick drywall. In this case, you are looking at about $10 – $15 for 1/2″ thick drywall.

This means you can purchase 5 times as much thick drywall for the same cost as QuietRock #510. However, when you consider the advantages of a drywall soundproofing material such as QuietRock, then you’ll see it’s the better choice. Why? This is simply because it allows you to easily pack in greater sound absorption in a smaller size. Moreover, multiple layers of drywall is just not very practical.

 

So, Why Not Install Multiple Layers of Drywall?

Theoretically, you can replace soundproof drywalls with about eight layers of regular drywall products, to achieve the same effect. While this can be done, it is not the best solution. Moreover, there are also several other limitations:

• Several layers of drywall increase the weight of your walls, and it may be too much for your house to handle.
• They result in additional labor costs. That will mainly happen if you choose to hire a handyman to help you with the installation.
• It reduces floor space.
• It’s impossible to install multiple layers of drywall if you already have a ceiling in your room.
• If you install multiple layers of drywall, you will need to increase the installation materials used. That includes tapes, insulation glue, joining screws and others.

 

Bottom Line:

Though there are many noise mitigation strategies out there, soundproofing drywalls is an excellent option. These unique sound damping products look similar to ordinary drywalls but are quite useful in reducing unwanted noise leaks. They are readily available on the market and make it easy for you to improve the privacy and comfort of your home or office.

How to Connect TVs to Speakers or Stereo Systems

How To Connect Tv Audio Out To Speakers and Stereo Systems

 

The Problem With The Speakers In Your TV

Though most TV comes with inbuilt speakers, the sound quality doesn’t necessarily match with your desire to enjoy high-quality surround sound. That’s because most modern TVs are very slim and therefore have limited space to include powerful speakers. This is where your TV falls short in giving superior sound quality to match the high-definition video.

Your best bet is to purchase an external audio system and connect your speakers to your tv. These external audio systems may include home theater receivers, soundbars and many others.

 

Connecting Your TV to An External Audio System

If you want to get great sound experience, an external audio system is a much better alternative to the regular internal speakers. After purchasing your external speakers, your first question may be ‘how do I connect these speakers to my TV’?

Most TV sets give you about three options that allow you get quality sound output, using your external audio system.

 

OPTION ONE: RCA Connections

Beside from being easy to connect, RCA connections are the most common way of sending sound to your external audio system.

These analog stereo outputs are available in most television sets and they don’t require any specialized training or skill in order to set it up. Here are a few pointers to help set up everything perfectly:

• Firstly, while you could always use regular RCA cables, its bets to get good RCA cables that deliver audio properly such as the Mediabridge ULTRA Series Subwoofer Cable or the RCA Cable, iXCC 6ft Gold-Plated Cable.
• Locate the RCA audio outputs (probably labeled tv audio out) on your TV set and connect the audio cables. The other side of the cables should also be inserted to the corresponding audio inputs of your home-theater receivers, stereo receiver, powered speakers or sound bar. However, your external sound system needs to include an inbuilt amplifier, since regular speakers will rarely give you a nice audio performance.
• Since these analog connection outputs are dependent on your TV, they send a two-channel stereo and allow you to enhance your listening experience. This means you can use the external audio system to enjoy a total surround sound experience.
• If you are using a Home-theater, you should be able to get a surround sound signal from this system, by using additional audio settings. To get this, you should look for features such as llx or Dolby Prologic II and use them to enhance your listening experience.
• If connected to a soundbar, look for any sound enhancement capabilities and tweak them to your satisfaction. Such capabilities may include virtual surround sound that allows you to get a surround sound experience, by expanding the soundstage.
• Some TV’s may have a 3.5mm mini-jack instead of an RCA audio output, requiring you to use an adapter cable. However, many high-tech television sets don’t have analog audio output options, leaving you to explore the other two options when trying to improve your sound quality.

---

OPTION TWO: The HDMI-ARC Connection

Formally known as an Audio Return Channel connection, it’s a nice way of connecting your TV with the external speakers. This option requires your TV to have an inbuilt HDMI connection port that’s indicated as HMDI-ARC. Keep in mind that not all HDMI ports have ARC capabilities and you need to check before you start to connect. You external sound unit also needs to have the same capability, for you to successfully connect them.

The HDMI ARC connection allows you to smoothly send the sound signals to your home-theater or soundbar, without having to separate analog and digital audio connections.  It’s physically done by connecting a HDMI cable to your TV set and using the same cable to connect your audio output unit. The cable not only receives audio signals from your TV, but it also outputs video signals.

Since ARC enabled HDMI connections doesn’t need you to separate the audio signals, you can highly cut down on the cables connecting to your TV set. That means you can quickly avoid having a clutter of wires around your house while enjoying an amazing audio output. It simplifies your audio system set up and is very convenient when it comes to controlling the sound output. However, you may need individual HDMI cables if you need a better sound quality.

When connecting your TV using this option, you need to ensure that the ARC output is active. keep in mind that though TVS can automatically detect ARC enabled devices, some units may require you to manually turn on this feature. Luckily, you can easily activate this feature from the menu, under audio settings. You can also check the user manuals to know how you can turn on this feature on a television set. So, purchase a good HDMI cable such as the 4K HDMI Cable 6 ft – Atevon High Speed 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 Cable and get going!

---

OPTION THREE: Digital Optical Connections

Digital optical audio connections are a better way of connecting your TV to an external audio system, compared to RCA connections.

This connection uses a fiber optics to digitally transfer audio signals from your TV to a compatible sound system. Here are a few tips to help you use this option and enjoy an improved listening experience:

• Firtsly, you will need optical cables if your TV did not come with one. An excellent choice is the 4K HDMI Cable 6 ft – Atevon High Speed 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 Cable.
• Just as with the RCA audio connection, connect your digital optical cable from your TV to your home-theater or soundbar. This cable will be coming from the tv digital audio out. You need to ensure that you connect to the corresponding digital input, to ensure that you successfully transfer the sound to your external audio system.
• Depending on the type of TV that you have, digital optical connections can give you a 5.1 channel audio output or a 2-channel sound signal. You can enjoy programs and movies broadcasted in Dolby Digital sound or DTS 2.0+ signals.
• If you don’t get any sound after connecting your TV with an external sound system using this option, you should check your television’s audio settings. Check for PCM in your sound settings and adjust it to see if it solves the problem for you. This will mostly happen if your sound-bar has a digital optical connection feature, but lacks the capability to decode Dolby Digital or DTS 2.0+ sound.
• If everything is well set up, the sound output should be great. However, you should note that the Digital Optical Connections are not suitable for transferring video signals. This means that you need a different connection option if you want to enjoy a fantastic listening experience while enjoying your videos. Luckily, the audio connection is awesome.

---

 

So there you have it, the answer to ‘how do I connect speakers to my TV’? Now, hooking up speakers to your TV should be a breeze. Enjoy that surround sound!

The World’s Best Speakers & Audio Gadgets

Exclusive Reviews At BoomSpeaker.com

 

Who Are Bluetooth Speakers For?

For anyone who wants and easy to use audio system that can stream tunes from any smartphone, computer, or tablet.  If you want a speaker that can sit in one place and sound great or a portable speaker that you can take with you to the beach, the gym, to the office or…in the shower.

Of course, you may trade some quality and crispness for a speaker that can go in the shower, be submerged in a pool, or is durable enough to be considered military grade. But that doesn’t mean you can’t great sound and music if not AWESOME from portable Bluetooth Speakers.

Bluetooth Speakers can fill an entire room with rich and sharp sound.  Any of the speakers that we recommend here on BoomSpeaker.com will take care of all of your sound needs whether you’re wanting your music at the beach, the poolside, while you shower, while you rest on the bed, while you work at the office, or for any number of times and activities that you could want music or hands-free calling.  The Best Bluetooth Speakers here at Boom Speaker.

Compared to a few years ago, there are a lot more choices in the Bluetooth speaker and headphone department.  That means that you don’t have to pay out the wazoo to get a good pair of headphones for the gym or chilling at the house.  You no longer have to spend an arm and a leg to get the right speaker for your desk or the beach.  That’s the good news…

The bad news is that all the choices on the market today make it dang hard to figure out which Bluetooth speaker and headphone set are the right ones for you.

We’ve made it our business to find the Best Bluetooth speakers under 100 dollars here at Boom Speaker.  Why?  Because you shouldn’t be fooled into thinking that you have to pay more than that.

Besides reviews and great advice, we also have loads of great articles!

 

We Help You Find The Perfect Speakers, Headphones & Audio Gadgets

We require these Bluetooth Speaker Devices to:

• Be Powerful:  No one wants to turn on their speaker and not be able to hear it over the sound of the ocean or other background clutter.
• Be convenient:  Read to pack.  Able to get a little wet.
• Big or Small: It needs to be sensible. Too big and there’s no sense in the technology.  Too small and you’re liable to misplace it or it’ll be weak.
• Have Value:  If we wouldn’t buy, we don’t recommend it.  If Amazon reviewers didn’t like it, we don’t bother.
• Compatibility:  If the Bluetooth speaker doesn’t pair with a system or has short capacity…it’s not worth it.

Other Things We Consider:

Portability:  If you want a smaller speaker to take with you everywhere then that may be your choice.  If you wanted a speaker that’s a little more powerful but you don’t mind the added weight then that’s an option, too.  Generally speaking, the larger the Bluetooth Speaker then the more power, bass, and volume it will have.  But not necessarily the crisper sound.

Carrying Case or Handles: Smaller Bluetooth speakers are meant to be automatically portable.  You can toss them in backpack or piece of luggage and in the glove compartment of your car.  Of course, you want your speaker to be protected, too.  That’s why it’s good to either buy speaker that comes with a carrying case or purchase one separately.

Larger speakers will have carrying handles and may be a little more durable.

Power Source: Smaller Bluetooth speakers, in particularly Bluetooth headphones, will have rechargeable battery units that are convenient but you must remember to charge them.  Larger speakers may require AAA or AA batteries which you don’t have to charge but beware the added cost of those batteries.  They aren’t cheap and they add up.

Cables: Remember to check that your the Bluetooth Speaker that you order comes with cables for power.  No need to worry about cables for connection but charging is a big deal.  We find that the speakers that come with USB charging cables are most convenient because you can charge and listen while you’re on your computer at the same time.

The Look: Sure, looks aren’t everything but no one wants to pull out their Bluetooth Speaker at an airport and have the bomb dogs called in because it’s so dang ugly.  Remember to choose the speaker that looks nice and fits your tastes.  There are many different shapes and colors available these days.

Battery Life: Always check the standby and use time of the Bluetooth Speakers you buy.  These times will differ and a speaker that brags about a 10 hour charge time may only be talking about the time that the speaker is “asleep” and doing nothing.  It’s important that your portable, Bluetooth Speaker has good battery runtime, else what’s the sense?

Weather Proof: You don’t need waterproof as you’re probably not going to be doing much listening under water.  That being said, many speakers today come as “ruggedized” that means they can be dropped, splashed and even showered with for your listening pleasure. There is also a sub niche of Bluetooth Speakers labelled under terms such as “outdoor weatherproof wireless speakers“ if you’re the camping, hiking, adventurous type.

Whether it be down by the beach to up in the mountains, you love spending time outdoors, but you definitely don’t want to leave your music behind. For the avid outdoors person, you need a Bluetooth speaker that is portable, but is also rugged enough to not break after a few slight bumps in the road. A good outdoor Bluetooth speaker also needs to have audio come out louder than a barely audible whisper too. So in short, if you like to spend your time out in the wild, you need a Bluetooth speaker that is both loud and rugged.

 

What to Consider When Buying Outdoor Bluetooth Speakers

When shopping around for a small speaker for your desk, you may consider sound quality and size, but when looking for a speaker to use in your campsite, there is a different set of criteria that your Bluetooth speaker needs to meet.

Durability – Your speaker needs to be able to handle the unexpected. At very least, your choice in speaker should at least be able to endure splashes of water and a bumpy ride down the road. Look for speakers with an IPX4 water resistance rating or above as well as one that has a bit of armour.

Portability – What good is a speaker if it weighs 100 pounds and you really don’t want to lug it around? The more durable outdoor models will be a bit heavier than your indoor ones, but the best ones won’t be unwieldy.

Functionality – This criterion can be different for every person. Some want a Bluetooth speaker that is easy to use and to set up while others want it to be able to do a number of functions at a touch of a button.

From fairly substantial to downright heavy-duty, we provide info, reviews and comparisons of the best speakers and audio gadgets on the market. Stick around and you will surely find some gems.

clear that it sounds like the vocals and instrumentals are coming from different speakers, but they are not. With its small size and punchy sound, the Photive Hydra is a great choice for the outdoors person who

Loudest Bluetooth Speaker: Anker Premium Stereo Bluetooth Speaker

There are many high performance Bluetooth speakers out there; but most carry high price tags. If you are looking for a high performance Bluetooth speaker at a cheaper price, the Anker Premium Bluetooth Speaker

is your best bet. Simply put, at this sound quality, you won’t find another Bluetooth speaker under $100.

Powerful Sound

When it comes to sound, the Anker really holds its own. We are talking about extraordinary bass and volume! Powered by dual ten-watt drivers for a 20W output (highest available in this price range), the Anker

Premium produces huge stereo sound.

The device also features MaxxBass technology and two passive subwoofers for enhanced bass performance.
It also features MaxxBass technology and two passive subwoofers for enhanced bass performance, allowing you to enjoy the crisp, clear highs and deep lows of your favorite tracks. It is one of the loudest

Bluetooth speakers you can find with a rare combination of portability and excellent sound quality.

Build Quality & Design

As you can tell, the design of the Anker Premium is quite minimal. For example, it’s built with glossy plastic instead of the matte plastic found on many other speakers. Still, this speaker doesn’t exactly look

cheap. It is quite compact so it feels solid and looks solid.

Moreover, it’s the loudest Bluetooth speakers for speakers at this size range (under $100). Clearly, Anker spent the money where it matters, in making the device sound phenomenal.

Playtime

Producing such amazing power requires quite a lot of power. The Anker comes with a rechargeable battery that provides up to 8 hours of playtime at 50% volume on a single charge which is above average for a

speaker this powerful. Compared with the ridiculous 24-hour battery of the Soundcore, for example, you might be a little disappointed in only 8 hours. However, the Soundcore isn’t half as powerful with just 6W

of power.

The Anker Premium is the loudest Bluetooth speaker in its price range and a greet choice for those looking for phenomenal sound. In fact, this little device will give its more expensive competition a good run,

even at three times less the price.

We love the Voombox and it is in someone’s pack each time we go camping. If it’s raining you can always put it in a tent and still listen to it from just about anywhere at the stie.

Best Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker: Fugoo Tough

What is the best overall outdoors Bluetooth speaker in terms of portability, durability, functionality, and sound quality? It is the fierce-looking Fugoo Tough.

Marketed as the world’s most rugged. this is one model that lives up to its reputation. With six drivers spread across four sides, the Fugoo Tough delivers loud 360-degree sound at a respectable 95 decibel

volume.

That performance is all wrapped up in a tough shell that isn’t just for show. While its IPX5 rating makes this speaker safe from splashes, it is also snow-proof, mud-proof, and dust-proof, assuring you can do

pretty much everything with this speaker along for the ride.

While all of that is excellent in an outdoor Bluetooth speaker, does it really merit the $300 price tag? It does when you consider that its charger holds for 40 hours of continuous use. If you spend more time

out in the bush than you do in the house, the Fugoo Tough is definitely worth the investment.

Best High End Bluetooth Speaker: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless

with class-leading performance by way of state-of-the-art technology and seamless integration.

In short, it sounds as good as it looks!

Again, the price is hefty and it’s not the class of Bluetooth speaker that we regularly recommend her at BoomSpeaker (though there are indeed more expensive Bluetooth speakers out there), however if you are in

You can even change your style with optional sleek, elegant jackets. Simply put, this little device is your best bet on-the-go speaker. Indeed, no other portable Bluetooth speaker that costs $200 (even $300) can

match the Fugoo Style.

With all that said, the Fugoo Style portable Bluetooth speaker is bests in all the areas that matter: sound quality, ruggedness (durability) and battery life. If you’re in the market for a portable Bluetooth

speaker, you can stop looking now, we highly recommend the Fugoo Style.
