Hello! I have a soundproofing question. My new apartment has a sound problem - there is an exhaust fan (from a restaurant) near my back door. Much of the sound winds up in my apt - mostly mid-range "whining". It's loud, and frustrating. I want to insulate the back of the apt (on the outside) with something. There is a thin back door, a wall above it which is just 2 layers of thin plywood, and a skylight on the ceiling nearby. Which material would be best for blocking the sound- 1) Wood 2) Styrofoam, or 3) Standard white ceiling tiles (Don't know what they're made from - fiberglass? I have a few unused ones) Any advice on this question or other tips on soundproofing greatly appreciated. thanks. -Jon Held
