Isn't it really difficult to soundproof against the low frequency noises?

    Just use corrugated cardboard and with longer sine waves, duh!

    I am not an audio engineer but you might have a point in that the longer low sound waves would be harder to block.

    Where my audiophiles at? We need a sound check on low frequency blocking.

    Edit:
    Found an article on a crypto mining facility mitigating noise issues.
