Noisy Neighbour Soundproofing

Noisy Neighbour Soundproofing

Noisy neighbour soundproofing solutions for walls, floors and ceilings

Approximately 20% of households in the UK have had noise-related problems with a neighbouring property. The problem of the ‘noisy neighbour’ is rising, enhanced by a growing population living close to one another. Noisestop System provides effective DIY-friendly soundproofing solutions to reduce unwanted noise from neighbouring properties. Our solutions are used to soundproof walls, floors and ceilings to restore quiet in your home. Whether you soundproof the ceiling in a flat or party wall against noisy neighbours, this guide will show you the best way to soundproof your home against neighbour noise.

Best method of soundproofing walls, floors and ceilings against noisy neighbours

When you soundproof a room against neighbour noise, you should incorporate as many of the following soundproofing techniques to ensure the best level of noise control.

  • Add mass and density to the area you are soundproofing to block airborne sounds. Soundproof panels and acoustic insulation are the best materials for adding mass.
  • Decoupling will effectively reduce vibration through the structure. The AcoustiClip system decouples the area being soundproofed from the new acoustic wall or ceiling
  • Sound absorption improves the ability of the room to absorb airborne sounds from transferring between rooms. Combining acoustic membranes with soundproof plasterboard and sound insulation slabs will increase sound absorption.
