These materials make it possible for contractors, architects and even do-it-yourselfers to tackle noise. While adding rails, springs, pads and special wallboard to quiet even a modest apartment can run into tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes a fix requires as little as $100 worth of acoustic seals for a hallway door.

Loofahs are great for exfoliating, but they have one major drawback: all those layers of netting tend to trap and harbor bacteria. Try this silicone body brush instead. The flexible bristles rinse clean and dry fast, so they won’t harbor germs. The scrubber has long bristles on one side for exfoliating, and short nubs on the other for an in-shower massage.

Word soon came back that Patrice Horsley had been found dead, disfigured, and left in a field beside a graveyard. “This wasn’t a regular homicide,” Gibson tells me. Horsley’s skull was caved in. An autopsy found massive craniocerebral trauma, brain hemorrhaging, and multiple fractures to her facial bones. Her body was covered in slashes, some evidently the result of her trying to escape by running into the cemetery’s barbed-wire fence. Her body lay in a field nearby, pants around her ankles. According to several sources, the branch of a pecan tree had been forced into her.

Don’t over soundproof your space. Not only do you want to avoid having the whole room look like it’s covered in panels, if you add too much insulation or panels, you will have no high-end sound left. Fabric covered panels don’t just take out the bass sound, they take out everything. Bob recommends leaving spacing between panels if you are going to be adding in fabric paneling instead of insulation. If you don’t have much spacing between your panels, Bob likens the resulting sound as though you were recording “in a box of tissues.” Using only absorbers will make a room sound dull.

Finally, close the gap between the floor and your door. You can use a long, horizontal pillow that can easily be slid right underneath your door or install a more professional-looking door sweep that automatically fills the gap with rubber. Whatever kind of thick door insert can work, but you’ll definitely want one that’s dense enough to really block out noise.

He says the thieves are after narcotics and smash the glass panelled door to get their fix. In one instance, he says, they were able to break into a safe filled with the powerful painkillers. But they have also made off with cough syrup containing codeine.

Not that Mr. Eshaghpour didn’t raise an eyebrow when he saw the consultant’s bill. “I think gaining the know-how, which we paid Ryan for, is really the larger investment,” he said. “There is a recipe to how it should be done, and that has its costs.”
