My parents and my room shares a heating/AC vent. So when ever i have my anything on in my room (Movies, Games, Music) the sound goes right to my parents room!

Anybody know anything about how i can sound proof the room short of blocking up the vent?

Not without some major remodeling, I wouldn't think. Go buy a little space heater and stuff a shirt or towel in the vent when you need to. After all, even if you could soundproof the rest of the room, the vent still goes straight to your parent's room; they'd still easily be able to hear you.

Since sound is changes in air pressure, any hole will let the sound through.
In fact, even a tiny hole will let almost all the sound through.
Imagine two ballons; even a tiny hole between them will allow the air pressure between the two to equalize.

I bet the whole fappage issue pales next to the sounds of his parents. I mean, who doesn't want to hear his mother moaning as he's going to bed?
