    What’d you use? I’m moving into a new place and my bedroom shares a wall with my roommates and I’m curious about mute the, uh, fan noises.

      If your fan noises 😉 are really loud you should install a wall made of acoustic drywall in front of that shared wall and fill the gap with acoustic foam. Acoustic foam alone won’t help with loud noise. Since that mostly reduces the reflection of sound. Sound can still pass trough the foam and then trough the wall.

        The acoustic dry wall is a good shout, but I don’t think my boyfriend would take too kindly to me shrinking our room and the shared wall has closets for both bedrooms. I’m hoping those closets will do something to help, and the foam wall paneling is a good shout, but I’m trying to think of ways to do it in a way that’ll please his aesthetic desires. He doesn’t want it to look like a “streamer’s bedroom”. I joke with him and say change one letter and it’s more accurate, so maybe he’ll considered some colored ones mounted at angles to create a more visually appealing surface. That, or try to mount a rug on the wall 😅
