should be warm in the winters

Irregular surfaces help keep sound from transferring, while flat, smooth walls and ceilings do not. Sometimes, just hanging heavy drapes on the walls can have a significant impact on the amount of sound transferred into and out of a space. Heavy carpeting also helps to dampen sound. You can install wall-to-wall carpeting, or you can use remnants over the whole area of the floor. Carpeting can be tacked onto the walls as well, and heavier carpeting can help eliminate a lot of sound. Cardboard can also be used. Egg cartons and similar materials are cheap and can be applied in one layer to the wall. These should then be covered with a heavier material, such as carpeting or drapes. This will provide an extra layer and some more insulation, which will help reduce noise transference. You can purchase carpet remnants to save money on materials, and you can buy bolts of heavy fabric to hang in place of drapes.
