How to soundproof a Room?
- Identify your noise problem
What is making the noise? Where is it coming from? Is the noise passing through the wall or vibrating through the wall? Once you correctly diagnose the source you can take steps to solve the problem.
Conversation, TV, radio & other noise that can actually pass through your wall is called: AIRBORNE noise, and is caused by walls that are too lightweight to sufficiently block the noise.
This is a common problem with modern construction as the codes have not evolved to meet the demands of TODAY'S NORMAL OCURRENCES. Often office, residential and multi-family walls are built with 1/2" sheetrock more because it meets minimum code than for peaceful living.
The low frequency noise caused by sounds like HOME THEATER, STEREO or MUSIC practice is called: STRUCTURE BORNE NOISE. This noise can actually pass through a very good wall in the form of vibration. This is the kind of noise you can actually feel in your feet or with your hands.

Soundproof Barrier + Hat Channel + Sound Isolation Clips
Optimal sound control. Excellent at low frequency, home theater, band practice, noisy neighbor with subwoofer, loud stereo etc.
If you are looking for low-cost, space saving walls that provide superior noise control then Sound Isolation Clips may be for you. Offering higher STC values than drywall attached to resilient channel, our resilient Sound Isolation Clips are more effective and more reliable than any other method of decoupling a wall from the structure. Using Sound Isolation Clips, with 7/8” hat channel removes the risk associated with resilient channel, which can be short circuited easily Sound Isolation Clips.

A composite material featuring a flexible one pound per square foot reinforced foil-faced loaded vinyl noise barrier bonded to 1" thick quilted fiberglass sound absorber.
USED TO WRAM NOISY PIPES, DUCTS, VALVES AND FAN HOUSINGS.
Typically used to wrap noise pipes & ducts to block the noise that transmits through the walls of the pipe or duct as air or other contents move through it. The quilted fiberglass decouples & improves the performance of the noise barrier as well as to provide sound absorbtion & thermal insulation around the pipe or duct work. |

CERAMIC TILE & NATURAL STONE
|
 CeraGrip is a one-step acoustic crack suppression latex adhesive that provides elasticity to absorb the stress of movement between the sub floor & the finished floor. Once dry it is an excellent vapor barrier & is insoluble. Installation of CeraGrip will achieve optimum sound deadening & crack prevention over 1/4". |

| Sound Isolation Channels (STC: Sound Transmission Class) |

Case Capitol Corp. offers a complete line of drywall furring channels. There are three proven products for isolating the drywall sheets from the structural members of an assembly; standard furring channel is sometimes called Hat Channel; Resilient Channel has been designed to reduce the connection between stud and drywall even further by adding holes and dimpling, it comes in two versions RC-1 and RC-2.
These engineered metal channels are perfect for mounting drywall or other wall materials to the structural supports. They have been effectively used around the world, and are trusted by architects and general contractors, for their consistent results and their low cost. You can use SIC furring channels for a new construction project or a renovation, improving the STC at a very affordable price.
Resilient channel can add valuable STC points to a wall/ceiling system without any significant alteration to the existing structure. The channels are attached directly to studs/trusses with screws and the drywall is then attached to the channel rather than the structural members; this results in a “short circuit” of the noise path, reducing sound transmission by vibration, creating a quieter environment on both sides of the assembly. You must not use screws that will penetrate the channel and connect with the framing, for these channels to work. | |
