:: General tips ::

  Use carpet rather than wood floors for soundproofing
    To help soundproof rooms, instead of using the stylish wood floors, install carpet; carpet absorbs much noise, especially when walking across the room.

  Lower the subwoofer's volume for less audio traveling

 

  If music that you play is bothering someone else, instead of just lowering the volume, try not to use the subwoofer; the type of audio waves that travel most are low frequency waves, those are the audio waves that sound a boomy.

  Soundproof the house while it is being built
    It is much better to soundproof a house when it is being built.
    :: Basic Tips ::

  Not all areas in a house are affected by noise the same
    If you opt for soundproofing your house, remember that not all the areas of the house are affected equally by noise; and being you who live there and hear all the noise, tell the people soundproofing the house where the noisiest part of the house is.

  Use curtains for soundproofing
  To avoid some of the outside noise from coming in, invest in thick lined curtains; but if spending a bit more for your tranquility is not an issue, get acoustic laminated glass instead of plain glass.
