DIY – How to Lower Room Noise while Working from Home.

Whether you are recording a narration or youtubing, or just trying to lower the room noise. This is how I started making my room more sound proof so i can get some silence. Working from home has all the noise from my roommates or from outdoors traffic. I either have to record a night or sound proof my room. Full parts list below. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

Here is a parts list of the stuff I used in this video:
Black Out, Thermal Insulation ,Sound Insulation Curtains: https://amzn.to/39cWWIy

Acoustic Foam Panel Wedge Studio Soundproofing Wall Tiles: https://amzn.to/2UGsdhV

Convoluted Foam Bed Pad Mattress Topper 4 INCH: https://amzn.to/2xgRRS6

Coroplast sheets 24 x 36: https://amzn.to/2UckYyQ

Hot Glue Gun Full Size: https://amzn.to/3aeMUrM

3M Command Picture Hanging Strips: https://amzn.to/33BCVKq

Velcro: https://amzn.to/39cx67x

Microfiber towels: https://amzn.to/399Ther

H1N Zoom Audio Recorder / Microphone:
https://amzn.to/3deRcB8

H1N Deadcat Furry outdoor windshield: https://amzn.to/33Fe600

I started adding blackout sound insulation curtains ( https://amzn.to/39cWWIy ) and book shelves to increase wall space and density. I then added 4 inch Convoluted foam ( https://amzn.to/2xgRRS6 ) to absorb the sound from both sides of the thin interior doors and walls. This lowered much of the noise and talking from the adjacent room.

I could have used professional Acoustic foam panels ( https://amzn.to/2UGsdhV ) but those the cost was higher than to cut a foam mattress topper. I also wanted it to be on boards so i can remove them if necessary to use on the table or another room. 3M Command stripes( https://amzn.to/33BCVKq) are safer for temporary mounting without leaving adhesive residue. Using Velcro or spray adhesive will leave adhesive.

Instructions:

  1. Cut the Convoluted Foam Bed Pad Mattress Topper into 24 inches to match the Coroplast boards. 2. Use the hot glue gun to adhere the foam to the plastic boards.
  2. Follow the 3M Command Picture hanging strips instructions.
  3. Use alcohol and microfiber to clean the board and the wall or door you plan to attach to.
  4. Add the adhesive strips on the frame and mount to door or wall.
  5. Add blackout and sound isolation curtains to further deaden the sound in the room.

Cafe Latte … in 30 seconds! Taste Test Review

I was at a car dealership. I saw a coffee making machine. I tried it to see how fast it can make a Cafe Latte and how it tastes! I drink about 2-3 cups of coffee a day and i always wanted to post a video about the difference coffee and coffee machines i use to get my daily fix of coffee.

I really like Starbucks Verona dark roast coffee beans ( https://amzn.to/39R3n50 ) and prefer fresh ground. I talk about a full gamut of coffee machines from K – Cups to Capsules, to instant coffee.

PM 2.5 Pollution Face Dust Filter w/ Valve – REVIEW PART 2 – DIY – Modifications!

I made DIY improvements and mods with the two PM 2.5 Pollution Dust face masks with valve to follow up with the prior review

. It cost about $5 to10 ( https://amzn.to/2xy8hWj ), but I have seen this used when i was traveling 2 years ago with traveling to Beijing China due to the dust and pollution.

Disclaimer: For tech and safety specifics on respirators check with http://www.osha.gov or manufacturers such as 3M (www.3m.com) for info. For the Corona Virus I believe people should follow the Center for Disease control’s guidance. Here is CDC website on the Corona Virus ( https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/ ) . Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I would use this for allergy , dust, or pollution mask, but not for wood working or DIY projects as its not rated for N95 or paint or anything. It is very light weight and will get dirty during DIY painting or wood work. I believe this is more fashionable for urban environments as they come in a variety of colors. Use a proper respirator for what you are working on.

Its washable but you need to remove the plastic valve. I noticed that the valve replaceable filters are single use and have adhesive to attach. I dont like this design and plan to modify it if i do use as a pollution mask. Stay tuned for that video.

I made a video previously of all the different masks I use for DIY projects:

as well as P100 mask review

. Soon i will review the 3m Aura 1870+ so stay tuned.

Its washable but you need to remove the plastic valve. I noticed that the valve replaceable filters are single use and have adhesive to attach. I dont like this design and decided to modify the design. The filters it included used an adhesive and the paper filter was harsh. I decided to modify the design by cutting a slit on the bottom part of the mask to be able to slide the filter into the mask like a sleeve. After cutting the it, I sewed back the edges and trim. In addition I also reinforced teh area where the valve sandwiches the fabric to prevent fraying.

Overall the mask is comfortable. but the inner fabric some sort of poly fabric and fleece material making it difficult to breathe. Also the valve is behind the poly fabric to air does not exhaust effectively. I may modify the cloth covering the valve in the future.
