Best ways to soundproof a tent
1. Attach Sound Dampening Curtains
If you are a regular reader of my blog, then I can assume that you are aware of the benefits of soundproof curtains.
These curtains are made up of sound absorbing materials. They work extremely well against the reverbs, echoes, and vibrations.
There are many soundproof curtains available in the market that makes big claims. However, only a few live up to the expectations.
The one that I have been using for a long time and, also recommending to my client is NICETOWN thermal insulated grommet blackout curtain. These curtains are made of sound absorbing materials, wrinkle-free, and uses innovative triple weave technology.
The reason I recommend this curtain to my client is very simple. It's a complete package at an affordable price.
You can expect a tangible amount of reduction in the noise, but it will NOT completely negate the sound.
2. Hang Soundproof Moving Blankets
Hanging a soundproof moving blanket can help you to improve the ambiance by reducing the unwanted noise.
The process is very easy. You need to get a few soundproof blankets and, hung it to the walls of the tent.
Although, using any type of blanket will make a significant difference, but still I recommend moving blankets.
By doing so, you will increase the density of the tent walls and, a good portion of noise will be absorbed by these blankets. As a result, the intensity of noise will reduce drastically.
The moving blankets are affordable and, you can also use it for safeguarding the furniture and home appliances against rashes while moving them from one place to another.
3. Install a Thick Carpet
By installing a carpet rug, you can minimize the echoes. I prefer carpets for soundproofing a tent especially when I have a plan to camp a cold place.
These carpet rugs act as a great insulator and, keep the tent warm against the outside environment.
At the same time, it also takes care of the unwanted noise and, dampens them by absorbing a significant portion.
I will recommend you to buy a carpet that is made up of soundproofing materials and, the density of the material is quite high.
A thicker carpet will perform superlatively as compared to the thinner one.

4. Try an Acoustic Noise Barrier
I will recommend you to try this method only if the above methods have failed to get you the result.
This may be a bit tricky but getting it done right can do magic for you.
The best way to get maximum out of it is to install the acoustic barrier like Mass Loaded Vinyl in the interior of your tent. This will help you to dampen the unwanted noise because the MLV is made up of sound-absorbing materials.
5. Get a White Sound Machine
Especially for tents, I highly recommend the white noise machine. This is perhaps the fastest and the easiest way to combat unwanted noise.
The white noise machine produces white noise which has the capability to reduce the unwanted noise between the range 20Hz and 20,000Hz.
The white noise machine can enhance your camping experience by producing a soothing nature sound.
6. Wear Soundproof Earmuffs
Wearing a soundproof earmuff is one of the fastest ways to get rid of the noise. in case, you are the one who doesn't feel comfortable using Earmuffs, then I will recommend you to try noise-proof earplugs.
The earplugs are the ones that will completely block the unwanted noise. At last, the decision is yours.
Though we have discussed some of the easiest and economical ways to soundproof a tent still there are many other ways which may give you a better result.
Let me know the method you follow to soundproof a tent.
