Question
I am a novice Domme and I am going to engage in some noisy activity very soon... and I don't have a basement.  I have found some gags that are extreme enough to muffle a lot of noise but I'm still concerned.  I'd like to do some of the activity in a hotel room but my sub says it's not sound proof enough.  I think a heavy-duty quality gag will suffice but I'm not sure.  Do you have any ideas where someone can engage in S&M where noise won't be much of a problem?  Do you think a gag will do?  A friend suggested a seedy motel and I'm not opposed to that but I'm wondering if I have any other options.

Thank you for your time,

Much respect,

E

Greetings Ms. Emma:
At times we do not have much control of some situations as we would like to have it. As gags can certainly be effective (and visually appealing in my case) there is only so much noise they can limit, since the throat still makes plenty of noise. That being said, music or a different source of noise or sounds could be what you need. I know a TV show could be distracting (Motel rooms usually have one), but maybe you could carry a small boom box and find out about the noise limitation statutes asking in advance(noise time limit city ordinances and such).
Also it comes down to your own sub discipline and will power. You could reason with him/her that if he can contain him/herself a bit the longer you will be able to play without any worries, distractions or interruptions. I know eventually you will be able to find a place where the walls are isolated well enough.  Some Hotels/Motels are good at that, while others not as much.

I hope my 2 bits helped you along in your choices.
Be well , be safe and have fun.
Best regards.
