How to Stop Flanking Noise When Soundproofing a Wall

Check the wall area below the floor and above the ceiling to ensure there are no gaps or holes in the wall . If there are any gaps or holes present, fill with DFM acoustic insulation. For smaller areas a mortar mix or an acoustic sealant would be ideal. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROCESS TO REDUCE FLANKING NOISE.
