In an attempt to block out as much firework noise as possible, we've decided to build Potato a (primitive) sound-proof "Panic Room" in the basement. We've tried literally everything else to block out sound for her - bluetooth headbands, sound-proof curtains, putting multiple fans in the room to create white noise, turning the T.V. up loud to try and drown out the BOOMS...nothing has worked. Hopefully building this room underground in the basement will help with noise dampening. We'll be outfitting it with extra sound-proof insulation, wood walls instead of Sheetrock, a loud television, and portable ac unit/heater for comfort and extra white noise. We plan to sleep in this bunker with Potato during the weeks with the most fireworks.
