The first step in noise control is to identify the source of the noise. We enclosed all of the drainpipes in the ceiling and wall cavities with Mass Loaded Vinyl. Is noise bouncing around the room making it hard to hold a conversation? Is there an echo? Do downstairs neighbors complain about the noise you make? Shown here is the exposed framing of the room that needed soundproofing.Ĭontrolling noise can be an active or passive means of reducing sound emissions, most people want to achieve this for personal enjoyment, whether it’s to reduce internal noise from a home theater, child’s TV room, a band rehearsal space or to reduce external environmental noise such as adjacent neighbors, traffic, train or airplane noises. The first step in soundproofing ceilings, interior walls and floors is identifying what your sound issues are and where they are coming from. This project intrigued me, so I reached out to a local sound proofing expert for some advice and background information.
#Mass loaded vinyl over drywall install
On a recent project a client asked us to install a ceiling and wall system using Kinetics Wood-Frame Ceiling Hanger (Model ICW), IsoMax Sound Isolation Clips, and resilient channel beneath the drywall.
While we can’t escape noise we can certainly muffle or reduce it. It’s everywhere, both inside and outside the home, distracting you from work and disturbing your leisure. When I think of soundproofing my mind immediately wanders to the Buffalo Springfield lyrics: “Stop children, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s goin’ down.” You can’t escape noise.
