How to soundproof walls, find the best way to soundproof a wall. Reduce sound transferring through by adding mass, density and creating separation. This will ensure sound is blocked and absorbed before the sound can transfer through the wall. High density panels will block sound passing through walls, while acoustic insulation slabs will absorb sound waves as they try to pass through the wall. Create separation by using soundbreaker bars as acoustic hangers to reduce sound as it vibrates through the structure of the wall.

When you are considering any form of wall soundproofing you should take into account flanking sound. Sound travels around a building through any cavities it can find. One of the easiest ways for sound to pass through is between floor cavities. Sound transferring through these areas is flanking sound. When soundproofing a wall you should consider reducing the chance of sound transferring through floor cavities between the floor joists.

If your floor joists are shared with a neighbouring property it is easy or sound to transfer through the floor. If you are soundproofing a party wall you should check to see if floor joists are going through to your neighbours property. Do this by checking which way your floorboards are running. If they run in the same direction as the wall the chances are you floor joists will be running into the wall, this will increase the chance of flanking sound transferring between the properties.

The easiest way to reduce flanking sound through your floors is to insulate between the floor joists. Remove a few floor boards up against the wall and fill the cavity against the wall with acoustic insulation 80kg/m³ would be a suitable density of slab to use. Fit the slabs against the wall, coming back into the room approximately 600mm, or the width off a slab.
