I can concur that quietglue pro works just as good and is much cheaper here in uk.

And the people I buy it from really know their stuff.

i’ve built loads of studios and always use these type of products, best way to sound proof something hands down

Here is some great, brand-new info on DIY sound proofing. Serious Materials just launched a new and improved sound damping glue, QuietGlue Pro (http://www.quietglue.com). QuietGlue Pro’s improved sound damping technology delivers the highest quality noise control at 30% lower cost compared to Green Glue. In fact, QuietGlue Pro outperforms Green Glue in new, back-to-back testing. Learn more about these recent tests in the white paper QuietGlue Pro vs. Green Glue plus see all of the underlying test reports online. Check out the test results and decide for yourself!

Yet to try green glue, and I don’t think it is in UK stores, but I improved my home studio door by covering it with 2cm of medium density board (MDF) attached with springy bits of metal (that’s important) and with one layer of old carpet my wife had thrown out, sandwiched between. Having done that, you could hear thin outside sound leaking in around the edge of the door – so some rubber draught strip stopped that. Door is some 12dB better insulator than it was. For a broadband noise generator, I ran a vacuum cleaner!
To control echo, I hang a very large bed cover on one wall. Yesterday it fell during a take. You hear a thump like an earthquake, followed by a startled yell from me under the headphones. Never mind, I still like recording here better than I did in BBC studios and there’s always scope to improve.

Double glazed glass would also do the trick… but I think it would be quite allot more expensive.

Actually have no clue where they would sell the fiber glass wool because it was a “gift” from my brother in law who works in installing industrial air conditioners … and this was a left over piece from one of his jobs.

Digital audio recorders can be found in CompuMe (city stars or Corba) you can find it in Computer Shop (used to be called Mobile shop but they expanded) there is one in Corba and one in Rehab where I reside.

You can check in the Sakhawi Computer malls (also called Sook al Asr) which are situated in Khaleefa Al Ma’moon.

You can also check in Carrefour and in Spinneys in their digital department sections. (in Spinneys which is in City Stars… you’ll find them on the right hand side an isle after the the entrance).

There are a few online stores based in egypt but after a quick search I can’t really find the ones I remember.

Shukran Mahmoud. I was considering installing a double-glazed sliding window between the shutters & the windows. (Double glazing the normal windows won’t help because of the gaps between the frame and the sill)
But I think this would require less effort. Do you know where I can buy the fibreglass wool?

Also, can you recommend a place (besides Radioshack) to buy a good quality digital audio recorder? (I’m starting as a (freelance) radio reporter)

Yeah they don’t sell it in egypt… you’ll need to find someone who will bring it over from the states.

Personally I used to live next to City Stars (nasr city) and that was pretty loud) My brother-in-law hooked me up with some Fiberglass wool. I used to put that between the shutters and the glass window and that used to block out at least 50% of the noise.

its not easy to deal with fiber glass wool though so you’ll need gloves while you handle it.

I hope this helps.

I’d love to get my hands on this glue. But I’m now living in Egypt too. I just moved into a new apartment, & although it’s on the 9th floor the noise from outside is incredibly loud. I’ve just been here one week but already want to move. I like the apartment though, so am considering soundproofing my room.

Any tips on how I can do so, & what it will cost? I’ll only be here for 6 months so don’t want to spend a lot.

I used it to soundproof the wall between my master bedroom and kids room. I used 5/8 drywall.
