For houses with floor-to-ceiling windows, any noise outside can often be heard clearly inside the house in the dead of night. However, the walls of some houses are not thick enough, so every sound from the neighbors' homes can be heard, which is somewhat annoying. Here are a few methods:

1. Doors and windows. You can choose solid wood composite doors, that is, high-density solid wood doors. Generally, this type of door has good sound insulation. Pay attention to sealing the windows. At the same time, if you feel that the sound insulation effect is not good, you can make a double-layer window structure. This is the best solution, especially for families with floor-to-ceiling windows.

2. Sound insulation panels and sound insulation cotton. These sound insulation materials are inexpensive and have good sound insulation effects. You can fix them on the wall with wire mesh before applying putty, and then paint or paste wallpaper to reduce the impact of noise from your neighbors.

3. Soft pack. The soft bag is sponge or foam sponge fixed on the wall, which is not only beautiful but also has the function of sound insulation and heat preservation.
