I noticed that recently, I've received a lot more four-star and three-star reviews. I starte with about 16 straight five-star reviews as a new host. Now, I have 31 five-star reviews, 5 four-star reviews, and 2 three-star reviews. I've received a pretty high amount of four-star and three-star reviews as of late. Out of the 7 total reviews that were not five-stars, 5 only had concerns about noise.
Another thing to note is that one of my four bedrooms are also located downstairs right under another bedroom. All bedrooms are hardwood floors which I assume must make a lot of clanking sounds as people walk.
In the past day, I've read a lot about soundproofing and how hardwoord floors and lack of wall decors can really echo noise.
So far, my plan is to buy some rugs to surround the beds and some wall art to hang up between bedrooms that share the same wall. I'm also considering on buying some soundproof studio foams to stick inside some of the closets that are between bedrooms.
I'm really interested in learning about this from other hosts. What are some low-cost methods you've used to prevent noise from echoing through the ground and walls?
