Dang Amberwolf, youre actually making me count my blessings. I live in bayou country/South Louisiana. There's some crime in my town but most people arent that eager to pull a weapon on you. Of course, u may catch the wrong guy on the wrong day. That's why Im trying to do all I can to minimize this problem. That way it's less battles I have to pick. I always try to keep the peace cause the only gun I own is a soldering gun and when I bust-a-cap, I'm def referring to a capacitor 😂

Thankfully most of them arent quite that bad but its still annoying as hell. It makes me miss the good ol days of 6 x 9's with a booster/eq on side of the ashtray. I honesty think they should outlaw these booming systems. It selfishly disturbs everybody's peace. If they want it that loud, they could wear open back headphones or something. In my view, it's a very selfish thing. It's like that old saying... "If it's too low, you're too young!" (or something like that 😏)

I started thinking... "Wouldnt it be nice if there was an active device that could cancel out the surface vibrations on my big picture window?". Well, I came across this device. Predictable result but still an interesting(& funny) lil video:

Thanks bud. I cant afford the insulated windows(though I know they work well) but Im def with u on the heavy curtains. I think Im gonna combine your's & Wookie's advice and use thick MDVinyl mat sandwiched between dense drywall and finish it off with the heaviest blackout curtains I can find. If there's still some bleed thru, I prob go with another layer of curtain as u suggest.

Thanks Wookie. Yeah, that does sound like a good place to start. Note: This is the second time I edit this. I was trying to find the exact mat roll but I see they come in diff thicknesses. I been watching some youtube vids on how to use MDVinyl for soundproofing so I think I'm good to go. I'll def let u guys know how it turns out once I get it all done. Thanks!

Thanks. I shouldve given more info. The house is brick with wall insulation and thick double paneling. However, the windows are cheap, single pane. The vast majority of the sound is def coming thru the windows. Ironically, I used to build insulated windows for a living. I cant afford that route though. I may just keep stacking rockwool.

My neighborhood is full of young guys with loud, booming stereo systems in their vehicles. I want to blockout/ cover the windows in my studio completely & permanently. Rockwool seems to get good reviews but I don't think it excels at very low frequencies. Google suggests "Mass Density Vinyl" for blocking bass but I dont know how thick I need, the pricing or where to get it. I have one huge 4' x 8' window and one normal size window. Im fine spending up to $600 if it means significant sound reduction of those annoying bass frequencies. I welcome all suggestions, even out of the box ones. Btw, Looks are not important to me at all cause I'm just gonna cover it with Blackout curtains, never to be opened again. Please help me before I go postal on every low rider in my neighborhood 😖
