Bedroom and Noise
It seems most homes in TV have the master bedroom right off of the living area. We are finding that sound travels through from the living area to the bedroom quite easily. If someone is up early or late it is very hard not to disturb person in other room.
Does anyone else notice this? Anyone found a solution? |
As you get older various things seem to noticed that you may not have noticed when you were younger. If you are Implying that the houses here aren't as insulated as those up north then you are correct as there is no need. Run a fan.

I have this issue also. One side of our house has a pocket door to close off that wing of bedrooms and this really helps. Not sure if you can add a pocket door after the fact or if this has to be done during initial construction. While I agree that we get more sensitive to noise as we get older I think the open concept of today's houses adds to the noise.

We have a pocket door at the entrance of the 2 front bedrooms. The problem is the main bedroom opens right into the living room with a double, hollow door.

Make more noise in the bedroom than what you hear coming from outside the bedroom.

We have a set of headphones that we use if one of us goes to bed early and the other stays up to watch TV. Since there are only two of us that handles our only noise issue.

Close the door ?

I have to agree. Less of a problem with the 3 bedrooms on the
other side with the sliding door. My Husband swears he cannot hear the t.v. but I hear it and it bothers me. Luckily he usually goes in before me. And when he goes in the t.v. goes off and I read. |
I use a sound machine and have been using them for 30 years or more. They are sold at JC Penney and only makes one sound, the wind. It is relaxing as well as drowns out all noises except loud bangs and the garbage truck. My kids use them and some of my grandkids use them also. I would not know if we were burglarized while sleeping.

Same issue with us! Our house in Ohio had the bedroom separated from the living/TV room and thus was quiet! Quote:

Years ago when we had a house built we knew there would be a problem with noise from the TV/entertainment center, that backed up to our bedroom wall.
We added insulation to that common wall and it worked, however, in TV you won't find any additional kind of noise barrier unless you paid extra for it pre-construction. Even more annoying that that, if you are in a guest bedroom, you can hear the toilet flush from the master bath! Ugh. |
