Ceiling and Wall Soundproofing

The correct approach depends on what type of noise we are trying to reduce. The main reason you are hearing so much of your neighbors noise is due to the construction of your unit. There may be very little material separating you and your neighbor. Whatever materials that were used are rigidly connected together, this allows noise to easily enter your home. Think of noise as electricity. If there is a rigid connection from one unit to the other, the noise will have a path to travel from one unit to the other. Once we figure out how the noise is traveling we can determine the correct approach to soundproof your ceiling or wall.

Cost depends on the size of the area that needs soundproofing and the level of relief you desire. On average, a bedroom ceiling can be anywhere from 3.5k-8k, larger areas like living room ceilings range from 8k-15k. When we are done, all surfaces will be smooth and ready to paint.

Common belief is that insulation is the correct approach to soundproof ceilings and walls. When we first started, even we initially thought “soundproof” insulation was the way to go. After extensive testing and research, we have found that insulation has very little soundproofing value if any, and in some cases, insulation makes noise worse. For years we have been removing all types of insulation from blown-in, spray foam, and fiberglass. After the insulation has been removed we were able to correctly address the problem. Regardless of what they tell you, insulation contractors are NOT soundproofing contractors.
