Soundproofing Walls

Most noise that is transmitted through a wall from one side to the other is airborne; this includes sounds made by TVs, stereos, voices and loud music, especially bass. This noise can be quite loud if the sound source is close to the wall. By soundproofing the party or common wall, the sound produced on your side will stay on your side and little or no noise from the other side will pass through. You can achieve wall soundproofing by installing our noise blocking products for walls.

The partition – party walls in most family homes are constructed of drywall / sheetrock firmly attached to both sides of a wood or metal stud frame. When sound waves hit one side of the wall it causes the drywall on that side to vibrate. This can be a stereo speaker, a television, a train, a plane, or even your neighbor. The vibrating object creates sound waves in the air. The same vibrations travel through the studwork also channel noise throughout adjacent floors and ceilings. Noise will radiate easily through the structure because there is almost nothing there to cushion and absorb the sound waves.
