Well they will be made into soundproof construction panels.

Commentary: The Sounds Around Us

One of my greatest pleasures, and one of the most soothing in these days of relentless stress, is listening to the sound of the sea. One of my greatest pleasures, and one of the most soothing in these days of relentless stress, is listening to the sound of the sea. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the pounding of waves during a winter storm or the soft susurrations of more gentle surf, the sound can smooth away all my anxieties. It’s one of the reasons we continue to live on these Islands. It’s easy to imagine the way things were here 100 years ago: almost no man-made sounds at all. Maybe somebody hammering a boat together, chopping bush or digging their ground. Maybe even the occasional Saturday night kitchen band (unamplified, of course). But there were no machines, no television, CD players or boom-boxes, and no vehicles except horse-drawn carts. Think of it – no jets, no trucks (no Jake brakes), no cars, no leaf-blowers, no outboards, no Jet-Skis, no bulldozers, no nightclu...

Soundproofing a fence

Soundproofing a fence, well that would be impossible because, you would have to make a really tall fence to block all the noise. There must be some way, because millions of dollars are spent to build those sound walls along our byways of transportation. So a soundproof fence is out of the question, however you can build yourself a sound control fence. You can wrangle that noise to a tolerable level.

From the manufacturer, "Stops floor squeaks from the top of the floor by safely going through the carpet!" So here is the situation, my neighbors condo above me has some spots where the floors are squeaky. They are moving out, so they were nice enough to let me come in and fix the squeaks. So, I ordered the Squeeeeek No More kit. It came with 50 screws, joist locater (long screw with threads at the end), alignment and depth control fixture, and a special driver bit. So, I first started in the neighbors bedroom, where I have been cursed by this squeaky floor. I love waking up to a loud squeak at 3 AM. There was a wide swath of floor that squeaked when you walked across it. So, I started with the loudest squeak. The directions say that the first joist is usually 9 to 10 inches away from the wall. Mine was about 6.5 inches. From the first joist...
