Bob,
I live about 50 feet from a bar and regularly can hear the bass noise from live bands in my bedroom (not extremely loud, but loud enough to make it difficult to sleep due to the barely audible bass line).
I am looking for noise reduction solutions and have seen your recommendations for the lead foil. Would this foil need to cover all walls of the bedroom or would it be pretty effective still if it only covered the wall facing the bar? (The other walls are not exterior walls). Also, the wall facing the bar has a window which is triple glazed with heat mirror (two panes with heat mirror film in between). Is it likely with the bass that the window is our weakest point or the walls (wood frame, no insulation - two inch air gap, plaster wall inside, shingling outside)? I am also considering per the recommendations seen here to get the 2" closed cell foam material for the window as a first step to try since the lead is more expensive.
I live in the southwestern portion of Ohio (Cincinnati area). Please let me know if there is anyone in this area you could recommend to provide consulting and/or actually do the soundproofing work as we try resolve our noise problem.
Many thanks for your help,
Kate
