Sound insulation after repair can be increased by a number of factors, which will be discussed in the article.

The correct arrangement of furniture can significantly affect the level of sound insulation in a room. Most often, pieces of furniture stand chaotically in a room, which will even lead to good audibility of sounds in neighboring rooms, for example, conversations of neighbors.

To exclude such a situation, you should be guided by the following: cabinets should be placed close to the walls, other pieces of furniture should be placed, such as a sofa, table, bed, armchair, etc. If the closet is filled with clothes or other things, this will further increase the level of sound insulation. The main point is not to place furniture in the center of the room. This method is the easiest, but it does not give the desired effect, that is, sounds from behind the wall will still be distinguishable.
