I Want to Soundproof a Room, What Should I Do First?
- There are a few steps to take when soundproofing a room. First, decide if your soundproofing will go on top of existing construction or if you are building a new structure. A new structure could be a new building, room or wall within an existing room. Then, determine your goal. Would you like to soundproof the space, meaning limit the transfer of noise into and out of the room? Or are you focused on reducing echoes, reverberations and vibrations within a room? Soundproofing is the process of containing noise, while sound absorption reduces reflections and sound dampening stifles vibrations. After determining your goal, identify which surfaces or features you need to address. Sound can escape a room through openings of any size. It can also pass through thin surfaces. Hard, flat surfaces will reflect sound. Finally, apply the appropriate acoustic treatment to each surface or feature according to your goals. We'll help you determine the ideal acoustic materials to use in your space.

- The best solution to a noisy pipe is soundproofing wrap. You can use Quiet Wrap™ Pipe Soundproofing Wrap to absorb sound and dampen noisy pipes. The wrap contains flexible industrial-grade polyurethane foam with peel-and-place adhesive to wrap around pipes and stay put, even as moisture accumulates.

Where Should I Begin When Soundproofing Recording Studios?
- Soundproofing a recording studio is similar to soundproofing any other room. There are just a few application-specific factors to keep in mind. You'll want to soundproof the recording space to prevent noise from getting in or out of the room. Then, you'll want to control reflections without totally eliminating them. Here are some ideas to try: • Decouple walls to minimize noise transfer. • Add mass to doors, walls and ceilings. • Fill gaps underneath and around doors. • Place absorptive materials in the path of noise sources like speakers or vocalists.
