Reddit reviews Silverback Sound Dampening Foam, 2 Inch Thick, 1ft x 1ft, 12 Pack

I don't think skateboarding counts as excessive noise (has to be over 65 db in the daytime).
Additionally, they are playing within the permitted times, which is from 10PM to 7AM (M-Sa), and 10PM to 9AM (Sun, holidays).

I believe here is the pertinent bylaw:

> Continuous Sound in Residential Developments
>
> 28.(1) No Person shall cause or permit to be caused a Continuous Sound that exceeds the following Sound Levels:
>
> (a) 65 decibels (dBA) Leq measured over a one (1) hour period during the Day-time; or
> (b) 50 decibels (dBA) Leq measured over a one (1) hour period during the Night-time;
>
> at any Point of Reception within a Residential Development

Suggestions:

• get some heavier curtains for your baby's room
  
• Install some sound-proofing foam panels in his room:

• I've also heard that white noise can help, so maybe turning on some rainfall music in the background.
  

Well the only solution I can assist here with is buy the foam sound dampening spiky wall things that you can find on Amazon to help with the quietness problem for her dark room hours.

Here's a link

This way, the rest of the house can be a bit louder while she gets to have her silence. Personally I do podcasts & this has helped the entire house from having to hear me.

They can hear me if I scream at my loudest but they can never hear my normal speaking conversation voice so I hope this helps your situation. You're a trooper for not giving up & I have nothing but respect for you.

Im sure your kids in a couple years will understand how tough your job is & thank you for what you've done

Is this what you're referring to? I might give that a shot, thanks for the tip!

One thing I suggest is if you're going to be making videos in there, invest in some sound dampeners to reduce echo because the beginning of the video was very loud.

Fan swap, unplug one or two of the fans (inadvisable), sound foam? https://www.amazon.com/Silverback-Sound-Dampening-Foam-Thick/dp/B00MAQNAPY

Something like this should be exactly what you need!

do you have a guest bedroom or room that does not share a wall?

You've basically got to invest in sound foam and padding and build boxes/ frames. Its not going to be perfect but it will stop some stuff from echoing around.

Like others have said you really do need a room with in a room to make it truly sound proof... which if you have a guest bedroom, you could just shrink it down by a few square feet and build an acoustic room.

Also as far as listening loud... if you really do enjoy music be mindful of the decibel readings in your house as you can easily give yourself permanent hearing damage.

Focus on the quality of the sound in the house, not the volume. You'll be surprised at how amazing things can sound with good quality speakers and the proper acoustics.
