Please take a look through our range of best soundproofing products for walls, floors and ceilings. These are our most popular products for soundproofing a room against noisy neighbours, ensuring you meet Part E Building Regulations, and everything in between.
What are the best soundproofing products for walls, floors and ceilings?
The most effective soundproofing products for walls, floors and ceilings will add mass, create separation and improve sound absorption. Unfortunately, this means the best method of soundproofing a room is using a combination of products to enhance the soundproofing, as no individual product can achieve all three soundproofing principles of mass, isolation, and sound absorption.
The good news is that this guide has been divided into three main categories: walls, floors, and ceilings, and we have identified the best soundproofing solutions for each area.
Best soundproofing products for walls
These wall soundproofing products are all used for soundproofing stud and party walls to stop neighbour noise and improve privacy. The best products to soundproof a wall will add mass, create separation and improve sound absorption.
Best wall soundproofing panel
Our best wall soundproofing panel is the Noisestop Silent Panel. Apply the board directly onto stud walls and party walls for a slim soundproofing solution that reduces TV noise and conversation. Only 30mm thick, the Silent Panel is the ultimate in soundproofing for walls without compromising living space.
Best party wall soundproofing solution
The AcoustiClip Party Wall Soundproofing System provides the best sound insulation of any solution applied directly to the party wall. Using sound isolation clip technology, the system adds mass, isolation, and sound absorption to soundproof against noisy neighbours. The AcoustiClip wall soundproofing solution is the best option for soundproofing against even the noisiest of noisy neighbours.
Best stud wall soundproofing solution
The AcoustiClip Stud Wall System is our best stud wall soundproofing solution. Soundproof stud walls using the system to eliminate noise transferring between rooms through internal walls. The stud wall system can also be applied to solid walls to stop excessive noise transfer. The system will enhance privacy in your home and create a room within a room for music studios and home cinemas.
Best soundproofing products for ceilings
The best products for soundproofing ceilings are very similar to wall soundproofing solutions. Products that add mass, create isolation, and improve sound absorption are the best for soundproofing a ceiling. The AcoustiClip ceiling systems offer the best soundproofing for timber joist and concrete ceilings.
Best soundproofing solution for a concrete ceiling
The AcoustiClip Concrete Ceiling System is our best solution for soundproofing concrete ceilings. Combining isolation to decouple the ceiling, acoustic insulation and soundproof panels to add mass and absorption to minimise sound transfer effectively.
Best soundproofing for timber joist ceilings
Our best soundproofing product for timber joist ceilings is the AcoustiClip Timber Joist Ceiling System. The sound isolation clip system decouples the joist from the ceiling, and the acoustic insulation and soundproof ceiling panels add mass and sound damping, reducing airborne and impact noise through the ceiling.
Best soundproofing products for a floor
Best floor soundproofing products
Our best floor soundproofing products will reduce airborne and impact noise through wooden and concrete floors. Use acoustic underlay mats or floating floorboards to create an effective soundproofing system. Acoustic insulation between floor joists is one of the best products for reducing airborne sounds from passing between empty floor cavities.
Best floor soundproofing underlay
Soundproof underlays will block and absorb impact sounds, such as footfall, and airborne sounds, such as TV noise. Our best performing soundproof underlay is the Noisestop F7 Plus. This 15mm soundproof mat combines mass-loaded vinyl for added mass, which is good for reducing airborne noise, with acoustic closed-cell foam for sound absorption, which is good for reducing impact noise.
Best soundproof floating floorboard product
Our Noisedeck range of floating floors enhances the soundproofing of any floor. The Noisedeck19 is our slimmest floorboard overlay system, and the Noisedeck 32 is the best interlocking floorboard soundproofing solution applied directly to the joist.
Best floating floor overlay system
The Noisedeck 19 is our best floating floor overlay system for soundproofing over an existing subfloor.
Best direct to joist floating floor product
The Noisedeck 32 is our best solution for soundproofing directly onto the floor joist.
Best soundproofing acoustic insulation product
Adding mass and absorption is key to soundproofing walls, floors and ceilings. The acoustic insulation inside a cavity stops the empty cavity from acting like a drum and amplifying the noise. As sound waves contact the insulation, their energy is converted into heat, and the sound energy is reduced. DFM acoustic insulation slabs are available in a range of thicknesses from 25mm up to 100mm thick. The best density of acoustic insulation is the 60kg/m3 slabs, these provide the best value for money when comparing acoustic performance. We use the 60kg/m3 dense slabs in all our soundproofing systems; the soundproofing gains with higher densities diminish the higher the density range.
Soundproofing FAQs
The best way to soundproof a room is by following these steps:
- Add mass: Increase the mass of the area you are soundproofing to block the sound transfer. Materials with high mass, such as soundproof plasterboard, are better at blocking sounds than standard plasterboard.
- Create isolation: Isolation, often referred to as decoupling, is important when soundproofing a room. A wall or ceiling isolated from the existing structure reduces vibrations that normally transfer the sound between rooms.
- Sound absorption: Improving the area’s sound absorption will further improve the sound insulation, as sounds are absorbed by specialist materials such as acoustic insulation and mass-loaded vinyl acoustic membranes.
Soundproofing does work as long as you use the correct soundproof materials.
Choosing the best materials for your noise problem and the area you are soundproofing is vital. The correct sound insulation products will depend on the type of room, the type of sound, and how much noise you can hear. Your soundproofing must be correctly fitted to ensure it works properly.
The most effective soundproofing solutions add mass, increase sound absorption, and improve the isolation of the soundproofed area.
The most effective solutions to soundproof against noisy neighbours will normally combine various materials to achieve the highest levels of sound insulation, often referred to as soundproof systems.
It is not possible to guarantee 100% soundproofing in domestic situations. However, with the correct solution, a significant level of sound can be effectively reduced.
A majority of customers that buy soundproofing fit it themselves.
Most solutions we supply can installed as a DIY soundproofing project.
If you are not inclined to carry out the work yourself, we recommend using local tradespeople, as they will have the expertise to do so.
