Day 4-5: Introduce yourself on Discord. Share your apartment layout, floor composition, and initial goals. Veterans will provide personalized advice.

Day 6-7: Conduct your Baseline Noise Audit. Document current noise levels, identify acoustic weak points, and develop your customized strategy.

Days 8-14: Equipment

Use your 15% member discount to acquire essential gear. Priority order: Steel-toed boots, tap shoes, one heavy kettlebell, and a bowling ball. This is your starter kit.

Members who purchase the complete starter bundle receive a free LOUN koozie set and priority access to mentorship matching.

Days 15-21: Technique Development

Begin the online training modules. Start with "Fundamentals of Strategic Stomping," progress to "Furniture Dynamics 101," and complete "Timing Strategies for Maximum Impact."

Practice sessions should be logged in the mobile app. Track your progress, note neighbor responses, and adjust techniques accordingly.

Days 22-30: Community Integration

Attend your first virtual member meetup. These happen weekly and are invaluable for networking and learning from experienced members.

Connect with your assigned mentor (if you opted into the mentorship program). Schedule your first one-on-one session.
