The Noise Factor.

Too much noise is nobody’s friend, as it can significantly impact our quality of life. It can disrupt sleep, concentration, and even impact our overall mental well-being. The World Health Organization reports that exposure to excessive noise can lead to various health problems, including stress and heart disease. So managing noise levels in your home isn't just about comfort – it's also about your health.

Basic Sound Management Hacks for Renters

Let’s get started with some options that you may already know about, and some that may surprise you:

  • Rugs and Carpets: A simple yet effective hack is to use rugs and carpets. These can absorb sound and reduce echo. Plus, they're a great way to add color and warmth to your room.
  • Bookshelves: Bookshelves filled with books can act as a sound barrier. The more varied the sizes and shapes of the books, the better they can diffuse sound.
  • Door Seals: Adding door seals or weather stripping to your doors can also help block out noise. They're inexpensive and easy to install.
  • Window Inserts: Window inserts are another excellent option. They can reduce outside noise by up to 70%.
  • White Noise Machines: These devices can mask disruptive noise with soothing sounds like rainfall or ocean waves.

Felt Right wall tiles are made from dense polyester fibers that absorb sound, reducing echo and background noise. They can be installed on any wall or ceiling, making them a versatile solution for renters.

What sets them apart though isn’t just their functionality – but also their potential for aesthetic flair. Felt Right’s collection is available in a wide range of beautiful colors, patterns, and shapes, and can be arranged in countless ways to create a unique and visually appealing design in any space.
