Prevent Sound from Entering Mattress through Bed Legs

bedroomsound-proofing

There is a construction site next to my bed room and especially low frequency sounds resulting from heavy machines and vehicles enter my bed through its four legs. As I am a side-sleeper the vibrations end up on my ear through the mattress.

What would be a reasonable construction of layers or materials that I could shove under each of the four legs to prevent sounds from being lead into the bed?

Best Answer

I don't think it's practical to come up with a definitive answer without experimentation, but I would try these:

  • sheets of rubber, such as what is sold in the plumbing section of the hardware store, maybe folded over a couple times
  • sound isolating feet sold for washers/dryers
