However, do not be surprised when you arrive if you are greeted by music blaring out from your neighbours, or the sound of the traffic outside. This can be extremely frustrating and has the potential to affect your academic work, so you obviously need to do something about it and you can for just a small cost.

Soundproofing measures can be used to solve and ease the problems of excess noise and there are many different ways of achieving this. Think about replacing your existing curtains with thicker equivalents as you would be surprised at just how much noise these can block out. Speak to the owner of your flat or apartment and see if they would mind replacing your current door with an acoustic alternative as they will cut out the amount of noise that can pass through its timber composition.

If there are gaps appearing in walls, these can be filled in with acoustic foam as walls in newly built accommodation often provide insufficient protection from noise. Other sound insulation products could also help bring an end to your noisy neighbour headaches as no one wants to be falling out with people they have only just met.

You are likely to be living in your digs for two or three years so make sure you take action as soon as possible.

In places such as police stations, schools or places of work, there often comes a time when you need to speak to someone about information of a delicate nature, whether it is individually or business related. Confidentiality is paramount and in some cases if information were to get out into the public domain it could be extremely damaging. If this is a potential risk, then you really need to get soundproofing.

Soundproofing a room is the best way of ensuring that this risk is alleviated. By applying acoustic solutions to those areas which are most susceptible to letting noise pass through them, you will also certainly eliminate the chances of anyone hearing something that they should not. Soundproofing walls, ceilings and floors should be your main targeted areas and acoustic material can easily be applied to those places at an affordable price.

1. Under the corners of large home appliances, place thick rubber or cork pads to stop excess movement and vibration noise.

2. Place your stereo speakers on stands and off floors otherwise they will vibrate through the floors and walls, turning the whole room into one big speaker.

3. Tall trees and ornamental grasses will make soothing sounds as the wind blows through them. Combine this with some gentle sounding water features to mask any unwanted traffic or indoor noise.

4. Install or replace any weather stripping around all the doors and windows, both interior and exterior, that you can. This will make a dramatic difference overall.

5. Sealing any small opening through which air and noise can enter a room is the cheapest, fastest and most efficient way to block noise. You can test for sound leaks by darkening a room to see where light – and therefore sound – is seeping in.

6. Try caulking all your windows and equip them with gaskets to provide airtight seals.

7. Where you have your kitchen appliances such as washing machine, dishwasher etc – Try lining the cavities in which they sit with sound absorbing materials.

8. Solid timber doors will block out far more noise than hollow ones. Consider replacing any hollow doors in sound sensitive areas.
