And isn't it perfect, the way that his "cheesy little amp" and "secondhand guitar" would be auctionable classics by now?

All other methods are going to be costly and take valuable space.

Sound dampening is less expensive but no method would be cheap and you would have to get the homeowners permission. Not likely for spray-in foam.

You can use spray-in insulating foam that will deadon sound.
You can also use "sound engineered" drywall panels.
Both of these methods are easily attainable with fire ratings. That is where part of the high cost comes from. Manufacturers do not want liability for fire loading in people's homes.

Since you are only renting the place, a tube amp and attenuator or headphones may be best for now. 8)]]> Guitar Players Discussion JosephLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/diy-soundproofing/#post-161603 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/diy-soundproofing/#post-161585 Thu, 23 Feb 2006 20:56:40 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/diy-soundproofing/#post-161585 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/diy-soundproofing/#post-161572 Thu, 23 Feb 2006 20:14:47 +0000
Like PVTele says, don't discount eggboxes completely, only in terms of volume reduction which is what I gathered was your main concern. The damping they're very good for, what I was trying to get across is the amount of places you'll find where people say 'just stick eggboxes up' and think that it'll make a difference to the volume outside the room. It's a lot of effort to find enough - you'd be mighty disappointed when it didn't make a difference.

I know from a friend's experience, my ears still hurt from both the un-damped rehearsal and all the whinging afterwards :lol:]]> Guitar Players Discussion Misanthrope https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/diy-soundproofing/#post-161572
