Noisestop Systems Part E Party Wall Kit is a reliable soundproofing solution created to help existing walls meet the minimum airborne sound insulation standards set by current Part E Building Regulations. This wall lining kit uses a combination of proven acoustic materials, including DFM acoustic insulation to add mass, the AcoustiClip system to decouple the wall, and soundproof panels to add even more mass. The system installs directly onto existing walls, making this a great solution for soundproofing rooms with minimal loss of space. It’s a practical, Part E regulation-compliant choice for residential refurbishments, conversions, and projects that need better soundproofing.

Airborne sound insulation values

  • RW 63dB

Part E Building Regulations requires a minimum value of at least 43-45dB

Note: Every 10 decibels(dB) reduction in noise level is roughly perceived as a halving of the perceived loudness. For instance, if a sound measures 70dB and decreases to 60dB, it would sound about half as loud to the human ear. Decibels explained.

  • Screw the AcoustiClip directly onto the masonry or brick wall. Space the clips vertically at 600mm centres with a row of clips 100 mm from the bottom of the wall and 150mm from the ceiling. The clips should be no more than 1200mm apart horizontally (see the diagram below).
  • Clip the AcoustiChannel into the clips, join the lengths of the channel by overlapping them by 100mm and screwing them together with self-tapping or drywall screws.
  • Infill the cavity with 25mm DFM acoustic insulation between the AcoustiChannel.
  • Using 25mm drywall screws, attach the first layer of the 15mm acoustic plasterboard. Leave a 2-3mm gap around the perimeter of the wall to reduce noise transfer into adjoining walls, ceilings, and floors.
  • Using 50mm drywall screws, attach the Noisestop 1+ Panel over the first layer, sandwiching the acoustic membrane between the boards. Leave a 2-3mm gap around the perimeter of the wall to reduce noise transfer into adjoining walls, ceilings, and floors.
  • Acoustic sealant is applied around the edge of each panel and the perimeter of the wall to ensure an airtight seal.
  • If you are reinstating electrical outlets, use acoustic putty pads inside the back boxes.

Spacing AcoustiClips

Horizontally – Fix an AcoustiClip at the start and end of each row. AcoustiClips are spaced at a maximum of 1200mm centres along the AcoustiChannel.

Vertically – AcoustiClips are fitted horizontally to a maximum of 600mm, 100mm from the floor and 150mm from the ceiling.

Wall soundproofing FAQs

Soundproofing reduces the transmission of sound waves through walls. This is typically achieved by adding materials that either block or absorb sound. The main goal is to prevent sound from entering or leaving a room.
A soundproofing wall solution will combine some or all of these elements to soundproof the wall:
Add mass: Adding mass or density to walls makes it harder for sound to pass through them. High-mass wall soundproofing products include soundproof plasterboard, acoustic insulation, and soundproof membranes.
Increase sound absorption: Improving a wall’s sound-absorption capacity helps reduce airborne noise. Materials that improve the wall’s sound-absorption include acoustic insulation and membranes. These materials reduce resonance and vibration, improving the wall’s overall soundproofing.
Decoupling: Isolating or decoupling the existing wall reduces direct sound transfer from it through to the new one. As sound passes through solid structures via vibration, decoupling with an independent wall or using sound-isolation clips will reduce sound transmission between the two structures.
Some of the most effective wall soundproofing materials include:
  • Mass-loaded vinyl (MLV): A dense, flexible material that blocks sound.
  • Soundproof panels: High-density soundproofing boards that block sound.
  • Acoustic insulation slabs: Help absorb sound within wall cavities.
  • Decoupling clips: Sound-isolation clips decouple the existing wall from the new wall, reducing vibration noise.
  • Soundproof Plasterboard: Denser than standard plasterboard, making it better at blocking airborne sound.
Yes! You can add materials like soundproof panels or acoustic wall systems directly to existing walls. These solutions don’t require major construction but can significantly reduce noise. By applying these types of solutions to your walls, you will minimise space loss in the room.
Recommended direct-to-wall soundproofing solutions, which don’t require removing the existing wall:
Silent Panel: Unrivalled soundproofing perfomance of any soundproof board. Soundproof walls without compromising valuable living space with Noisestop Silent Panel.
AcoustiClip Direct System: The best direct-to-party wall system. The AcoustiClip Direct System features isolation clips, acoustic insulation, and soundproof boards for maximum protection against noisy neighbours.
Noisestop System 2: The thinnest of the party wall soundproofing systems, Noisestop System 2 combines acoustic insulation and soundproof panels.
Acoustic Panel: Slimmest direct-to-wall soundproofing panel. The Noisestop Acoustic Panel is ideal for soundproofing rooms with minimal loss of space.
The cost varies depending on the solution you choose. If we assume the wall is 10 sqm, the average price of materials to supply soundproof panels would be between £42 and £51 per square metre (£420-£510 per 10sqm wall), depending on the type of panel.
For higher soundproofing levels, a complete acoustic wall system would cost between £55 and £65 per square metre (£550-£650 per 10sqm wall). These costs are approximated and do not include fitting.
Yes! Low-frequency noises, such as bass or vibration, can be more challenging to block. To reduce this, you will need to use a technique called decoupling, which separates layers of the wall to prevent sound vibrations from travelling through it.
Decoupling isolation clips applied directly to the wall or a stud frame will reduce vibrations from travelling through the wall’s structure. If you have space in the room, an independent soundproof wall will reduce sound transfer between the walls.
The best wall soundproofing solutions for reducing these noises are the AcoustiClip Direct System or the AcoustiClip Stud System, as they minimise vibration transmission through walls.
Soundproofing can help reduce noise transmission through party walls, but it may not eliminate it entirely, especially if the noise is very loud. To ensure the best level of soundproofing against noisy neighbours, use a complete acoustic wall system if you have space in the room.
A soundproofing system for reducing neighbour noise would be approximately 50mm to 80mm thick; you can go higher if you build an independent wall. The thinnest neighbour solutions are direct-to-wall panels, which help reduce lower-level TV and conversation; they range in thickness from 20mm to 30mm.

Soundproofing can significantly reduce noise, but it’s unlikely to block 100% of sound. Low bass frequencies or very loud sounds may still get through, but the overall noise reduction can be substantial. To ensure you get the most from your wall soundproofing solution, consider other areas of the building that may be weak spots and allow sound to pass through. See our flanking noise answer below.

Common flanking noise paths.

Sound can travel through:
  • Ceilings and floors, joists with empty cavities
  • Side walls that connect to the soundproofed wall
  • Studs and framing inside the structure
  • Doors and windows
  • Electrical outlets, vents, and gaps
