Frequently asked questions

11. What exactly is soundproofing, and how does it work?

Soundproofing is all about creating a peaceful space by blocking or absorbing sound. It usually involves adding materials to walls, floors, and ceilings to reduce noise from outside, as well as keeping sounds from traveling between rooms. Think of it as giving each space its own “quiet zone”!

2Which areas in my home can be soundproofed?

Almost any part of your home can be soundproofed! Some popular choices include bedrooms, home offices, nurseries, home theaters, and shared walls (especially in condos and apartments). We’ll help you choose the best areas to soundproof for maximum peace and quiet.

3What types of materials are used for soundproofing?

Great question! We use a range of materials, like acoustic panels, soundproof drywall, mass-loaded vinyl (MLV), fiberglass insulation, and weatherstripping. Each material works in a different way to block, absorb, or dampen sound, so we can tailor our approach to meet your exact needs.

4Can soundproofing make a room completely silent?

While soundproofing significantly reduces noise, it won’t make a room totally silent. It’s all about cutting down the sounds you don’t want to hear. We can work with you to achieve the level of quiet that best suits your space—whether it’s a gentle hush or a library-like silence.

5How much does soundproofing cost?

The cost varies depending on the size of the area, the materials used, and the level of soundproofing you’re after. We offer different options to suit various budgets, so whether you want a quieter nursery or a soundproof home theater, we’ll find a solution that works for you.

6How long does it take to soundproof a room?

For most rooms, we can complete the job in a day or two. Larger or more complex projects might take a few days, but we’ll give you a clear timeline once we’ve assessed your space.

7Can soundproofing help with both indoor and outdoor noise?

Absolutely! Soundproofing helps block out sounds from outside, like traffic or neighbors, as well as sounds within your home—like footsteps, voices, or music in other rooms. We’ll focus on the specific noises you want to reduce.

8Do I need any permits to soundproof my home?

Usually, no permits are needed for soundproofing. If you live in a condo or apartment, though, it’s always a good idea to check with your building management to make sure there are no restrictions.
