HVAC Noise Reduction
Soundproofing HV/AC systems can be the most challenging because they involve ductwork buried deep in a home’s structure. Not only does the HV/AC system create noise, it carries noise from one room to another. Its ductwork acts as a path sound travels along, creating a “highway” of noise traffic throughout your house.
You may hear different types of noise from your HVAC system. These depend on your proximity to the central portion of the unit and the type of ducts you have. Identifying the sources of these noises will make it easier for you when you begin your HVAC sound-deadening project.
Our customers have complex problems. We make it easy to find solutions. We take the complicated and make it un-complicated.
Soundproofing Ductwork
Soundproofing starts with identifying the sounds and their sources. For example, furnace duct noise reduction may require additional insulation in the ductwork to prevent popping from the metal expanding when you turn on the heat. If you have an older unit that sends buzzing sounds through your ducts, you may get some relief from soundproofing ductwork until you can replace the HVAC unit.
Quiet Wrap Pipe Soundproofing Wrap
Pipes around your home can be a significant source of the noise. Wrapping Quiet Wrap Pipe Soundproofing Wrap around them can reduce this noise, but did you know this wrap also works well for air ducts? With heat resistance up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use this around both heating and cooling ducts.
RoadBlockR
A surprising material to use for soundproofing your HVAC system is a product designed for use in cars. Thin and easy to install, RoadBlockR has an adhesive backing with aluminum-covered butyl on the front. Because this lightweight peel-and-stick sound-dampening material usually blocks the noise from road vibrations around your car, it excels at stopping the sound of air vibrating through your ducts.
VibraBlock
With VibraBlock Sound Deadening Material Sheet, you can achieve heating duct noise reduction with less material. Though it’s only 0.04 inches thick, this industrial-grade material works hard to deaden sound. You only need 60% of the surface covered with VibraBlock to achieve the same effect as covering the whole surface with standard sound-dampening sprays.
Utterly Quiet Fabric-Covered Foam
Lining your ductwork with flame-resistant fabric-covered fireproof foam, like our Utterly Quiet line, will help reduce noise from the air in your HVAC system without risking a fire. With thicknesses ranging from one to three inches, you will find the right level of sound deadening to fit inside the ducts.
Quiet Barrier
You can apply the highly versatile Quiet Barrier Specialty Composite almost anywhere you need soundproofing. By combining an acoustic foam with our Quiet Barrier LD soundproofing product, you get the maximum amount of sound dampening possible. Thanks to the ruggedness of this material, you can also use it in even the harshest environments. If you have a thunderous air conditioner that you need to quiet, apply the Quiet Barrier Specialty Composite around the unit or ducts.

I have emailed a lot of different manufactures and I have to say your customer service is head and shoulders above all of them. I emailed your company at about 9pm my time and when I woke up the next morning you had already answered my question and then the follow up was a few hours later. I am impressed. Thanks a lot for the quick turn around!
