Soundproof a Tent
1. Carpeting
One of the cheaper end easiest ways to soundproof would be to lay carpeting down, thick carpets work best absorbing the bass frequencies which travel through the ground.
2. Moving Blankets
These blankets are known to be great for absorbing sound and they are not too expensive either. All you will need to do is hang them in your tent against the walls and they will act as a sound barrier.
3. Acoustic Barriers
This material is used in recording studios granting it a great material to use. It can be on the more expensive side but I believe it is worth every penny.
When purchasing the material companies size them to room size in a house or studio so you may have to cut the material down to the size of your tent.
4. Building a Structure
This tip is aimed more for those who will be living in a tent for at least a few days and more as building and placing a temporary structure can still take up a lot of time.
You will need to build and assemble a wooden frame around your tent and attach materials that can insulate sound onto the wooden beans. Read Also: Noise Cancelling Headphones.
5. Destructive interference
The bases of this theory are about using the sound waves from the source to counteract that of another. If you use a speaker and point it to the direction in which the sounds are coming from your sound waves should in effect stop the other noises from reaching your tent.
The only downfall to this is that you will need to have noise in order to council out the other noise and depending on the frequencies and volumes it may not always work. Read Also: Noise Cancelling Headphones Under 200.
