I live at home, and I have a big family with lots of little ones. My siblings visit often and the house gets very loud. I’m completing my masters and I need some peace and quiet while studying. What are some cost effective ways to sound proof my office? My office is about 81 sq ft. The office door is French double doors and I have wood floors. There are two desks in my office, and pictures and posters on my wall. There is one window and a bathroom (the bathroom size is not included in the square footage). I was thinking of purchasing sound proofing panels from amazing and sticking them up on my door and around the room but I wanted to see if anyone had better ideas.
Edit: I have noise canceling headphones but it’s not sufficient. I just need to be in a quiet place to be able to focus, and I can’t go elsewhere to study because I use my PC which isn’t.. very portable
