[quote=Anonymous]I would start with just adding a second layer of drywall to the ceiling and walls. Sound can't move easily through solids as well as hollow or thin walls. A drywall installer and painter could handle it for you. Windows and doors would probably need to be retrimmed. The door would need to be a solid core door. Not the cheaper hollow doors you typically see now. The problem is that solid core (solid wood) doors are rare now. We cut down all the trees that could provide wide thick boards. Also, any flat surfaces reflect sound. Bookshelves, curtains and other irregular objects will absorb and deaden the sound quite well. Not sure how to quiet anything in the air vents. I would recommend bose noise canceling headphones if you are looking for an immediate solution.[/quote]
