I need advice on what to do and materials to help soundproof my new apartment so that less outside noises get in and less of my own noise goes out and disturbs neighbors.
I don't need to fully block it, I just want to dampen it as much as possible.
My walls are made of cement and windows are half slide-down (don't know the formal name). Floors are tiled.
I saw info on Green Glue, but I don't really think I can add it to my cement walls.
I still need to get some furniture, but that will only help the inside noise.
I don't know how to check what the doors are made of.
I'm adding a layout of the apartment, maybe there are some tricks that can be done to deter sound from going in depending on the layout. The outside noise mostly comes in from the West. And I want to keep my tv and speakers from letting sound go to the East, where the other residents are.
