Sound proofing an airvent

[Neil_Ireland]

Hi all,

I have an air vent in my sitting room which is letting in a lot of sound, I can easily hear anyone talking outside.

Is there anything that can be done to add soundproofing to it?

Thanks,
Neil.

You replace it with a vent containing a built in sound baffle.

Thanks, I'll have a look in b&q for one.

Can you tell me what this might look like? or how easy/difficult it might be to fit?

I have a similar problem with the bedrooms in my house (noise that is)
thanks

I had a look in b&q for something that might reduce the sound but they didn't have anything suitable.

Any other ideas?

Try a proper builders providers, it may not be a regular stock item, but they should be able to source one.
