The best way to block the sounds radiating outside would be to buy some furniture. I have purchased two sofas along with a wooden shelf to reduce the sounds going outside. This is a good option, given the fact that you will be able to beautify your room as you will decorate it with furniture.

• Cover the Floor

You can purchase rugs and carpets which will not only keep your floor warm but also absorb the sounds in the room. There are many carpets available in the market. I have painted yellow on my wall so I purchased a red carpet to enhance the beauty of the room. Since the texture can improve and reduce the sound I purchased a vinyl carpet. I have heard from a friend that those carpet blocks sound very good. After listening to him I purchased the vinyl carpet and I got effective results.

• Hang Paintings

You can hang paintings in your room to soundproof it. Paintings and tapestries are cheap ways to block the sounds in the room. But keep in mind that vinyl and paintings together can collectively produce less effective results to soundproof a room. So if you want to hang a painting, normal rugs or carpets will produce better results to block the sounds in a room.
