If you don't want to reconstruct your walls and floors with sound-proof building materials, consider the less expensive option of installing carpeting and wall coverings that soften and absorb sounds.If you can't sound-proof your entire home, you might want to invest in sound-proofing your bedroom, so you'll have at least one respite from the noise when you just can't take it anymore. Sound-proofing your home will help you rest easier at night and keep your home quieter during the day as well. When you can't stop the noise at its source, you can do your best to keep it out.
