Think of it this way: when you were pregnant you were not in a totally quiet environment whenever your baby was asleep. So, why worry about soundproofing her environment now. At seven weeks babies may occasionally be wakeful for various reasons. They may be teething or having some little digestive disturbance. Also, being able to subliminally hear the household sounds may even be comforting–reassuring the child that he or she is not alone. Learning to sleep through an amount of noise, will be helpful to her in her life since most of the places she‘ll be sleeping in will not be soundproof ones.

My response to parent’s concern about soundproofing their baby’s room:
When our daughter was an infant, she slept in our bedroom which was a little room next to the kitchen.
