Egg cartons will slightly help tame the sound in the room but they wont do much for soundproofing, same with carpet. Unfortunately there's no cheap way to soundproof a room. The only way it will be truely soundproof is if you building a floating room inside the room that's already there. Check out these sites they have alot of good info on soundproofing. http://www.soundproofing101.com/

O'hourigans Carpet on Tattersal have a truck around back, and they allow you to mooch old carpet out of it.. go at night, nobody will bug you.

If ya cant afford $$ soundproofing, hang the carpet from 2x4 straps along the ceiling.. this will give an airpocket between the carpet and your walls ( or mattresses ) which helps deaden alot of sound. - Thu, 29 Apr 2004 8:54am

so do you just put the tiles on the walls? and put the carpets away from the walls hanging from the ceiling, and put blankets and what not in between?? - Sat, 1 May 2004 7:32am

I think its best to have an air pocket between the carpet and something absorbent to sound ( ie: matresses, styrofoam insulation, fibreglass, whatver you have,,)

the studio we jam in had a second wall framed in with two layers of insulation between the walls.. - Sat, 1 May 2004 7:59am
