  1. Things to Consider When Soundproofing The Walls of Your Home Why you Need to Soundproof your Home ? If you live in a modern, city apartment then you may have witnessed unnecessary noise disturbing the ambiance of your home. Your home needs the peace to lend it the right vibes to de-stress you when you come back from a hectic day at work. Apartments and condominiums need installation of a soundproof barrier to prevent noise from the outside and neighbors from entering the house. There are three basic ways that you can soundproof your walls, roof, and floor to create a peaceful and warm environment.

During construction, if you have set up one side of the wall, you can add soundproofing wall material before you close the other side of the wall. Once you install the basic frame of the wall, you can stuff the exposed wall wooden studs with the barrier material that you have chosen before you seal the wall from the inside. When working on the roof, you need to double the layer by soundproofing the roof of the room and then moving to the floor of the room above.

Instead of buying normal drywall, opt for “quiet-rock” or dry blown cellulose for insulation. You can add the soundproofing material for walls by adopting this alternative technique, which also decreases steps involved in the process. When you are choosing soundproofing materials that best suit your home, you should first understand the sound transmission classes of materials. A higher STC value indicates better quality of soundproofing. Opt for materials that have an STC in the range of 30-40.
