Soundproof a Wall Using Wall Soundproofing Systems

5th July 2024

Combine acoustic materials to create a wall soundproofing system to increase the sound insulation of walls

Soundproof a wall using soundproofing systems for the best sound insulation. By using different products, you will block and absorb higher levels of both impact and airborne sound. Using a soundproofing system will block a greater range of sounds. Different materials within the solution will block and absorb different frequencies.

Wall soundproofing systems are a great way of soundproofing walls against noisy neighbours. Soundproof a wall using wall soundproofing systems in rooms to reduce high sound levels. Rooms such as studios, home cinemas and noisy work environments would require the additional sound insulation you achieve by installing a wall soundproof system.

What will you need to create a wall soundproofing system?

DFM Acoustic Insulation

Use acoustic insulation between stud work. Acoustic insulation blocks and absorbs sound, normally reverberating inside a stud wall. The sound is converted into heat, reducing the overall sound level.

Using a mid-range insulation density, the acoustic insulation 60kg/m³ slabs are suitable for most domestic soundproofing solutions.

Reduce flanking sound

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 you soundproof a wall, you should reduce the chance of sound transferring through floor cavities between the joists.

If your floor joists are shared with a neighbouring property, it is easy for sounds to transfer through the floor. If you soundproof a party wall, check if floor joists are going through to your neighbour’s property. Do this by checking which way your floorboards are running. If they run in the same direction as the wall, the chances are your 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 noise through your floors is to insulate between the floor joists. Remove a few floorboards up against the wall and fill the cavity against the wall with acoustic insulation. A slab with a density of 60kg/m³ would be suitable. Fit the slabs against the wall, coming back into the room approximately 600mm, or the width of a slab.
