Do you know how to soundproof bedroom? For those with a bedroom that joined to a neighbour’s property by a party wall, noise pollution control is potentially even more of a problem, ie. everything will feel louder. That’s because of the close proximity, the reverberations and a range of other acoustic considerations related to sound transmission.
Let’s explore the topic in more depth and go on to answer that burning question: how can I soundproof my bedroom wall (even when it’s shared with my neighbours)?

What is considered a common wall (party wall)?
A “common party wall”, which is otherwise known as a “party wall” refers to a wall that is shared when two households are joined, one household to the next — usually via the bedroom wall. This is a fairly common occurrence, especially considering the rise of medium and high-density housing areas across Australia and the rest of the world.
So chances are if you live in a duplex, apartment, unit or townhouse you’ll have a party wall in your residence. The question of whether you need soundproofing will depend on whether you are impacted by external noise, including hearing anything undue, irritating, disruptive or disturbing from your adjoining neighbours.
Is your bedroom too noisy for you to rest?
The issue of getting enough sleep is an important one. That’s because your ability to catch some quality zzz’s is central to your overall health and wellbeing. Your bedroom should be an intimate space conducive to rest and slumber. If you go to bed only to find that you’re woken by a veritable ruckus coming from next door then the reality is: you’re experiencing interrupted sleep.
