Hi all,

I'm looking to sound proof the inside of my high bed (http://www.vipkids.co.uk/Hyder/double_loftbunk_lg.jpg). I cant lose any of the inside space, but the outside can by covered by whatever is necessary.

The room itself can't be sound proofed as it's my parents house (still at University).

I have a budget of about £200, or more if absolutely necessary.

Obviously there needs to be a way to get under the bunk, be it a door or a material that can be lifted/moved to get in/out easily.

It doesn't need to be totally sound proof, just more so that I can turn up my music, games and movie volume (currently has to be really low due to baby next door and thin walls throughout the house).

All I can think of is some sound proofing panels of some kind to put up against the sides of the bed or some duvets with some sound proofing material inside hung against the sides.

Also, I have these (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/home_pc_speakers/devices/224&cl =gb,en) speakers, would be it useful to place them on some vibration absorbing material?

Lastly, it cant look ugly, but that could normally be fixed with a sheet or poster or something so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks :-)

Here is my room layout:
http://igniseus.com/images_general/room-layout.jpg

South/bottom wall is a brick wall between our house and neighbours. The room on the other side is where their baby sleeps.

I want to be able to have my sound at a nice level for watching movies, playing games etc, the louder the better. Dont tend to turn bass up that loud, just enough so that it "sounds right", dont need it booming. Though with overall volume increase i guess guess could get a little boomy. Just want to be able to go about with my volume at decent levels and not have it all turned low.

Also not just about MY volume, I want to keep the babies crying out, and also can hear show, toilet, sink etc from the bathroom which is the other side of the north/top wall (plasterboard).

The east/right wall is plasterboard, with my parents room the other side.

The west/left wall is where the windows are located, with the garden the other side.

Speakers will be located on the far east side.
