Can you do an advice video on flanking noise which is coming from below (ie in an existing older flat) please and how and where to rectify?! Appreciate your videos (and website)
Hi Twenty One 21 - Thats a great question. We'll add it to the list of videos we want to make in the future. We only get time to film a couple of videos every couple of months around actually running the buisness, and we do have a long list of ideas. But thats a great topic to talk about.
I absolutely love all the education and products you share on soudproofing rooms. I own rental appartement building and when renovating I would like to improve at a certain point the soud beetween the appartements. I live in Quebec, Canada and wondering if you know where I can find some of your products? Thanks for your help!
Hi Michael Vautour, many thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear you've found the videos useful. Sorry to say, unfortunately we don't distribute our products outside of the UK.
Hi Mariel, we have lots of different solutions depending on the structure of the wall and floor and also depending on the type and level of noise you are trying to reduce. For walls, this might be a useful video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-huNDsYKLpqo.html For timber floors, take a look at these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N_uOq6V7j_M.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S9ZhiDRTPds.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z_jFyuFH4u8.html Please feel free to contact a member of the team on (01423) 206208 and they can discuss your noise issue in more detail and advise on the best solution.
HI Joseph - We don't have STC figures, this is more of an American way of testing sound reduction. But we have UK standardised test results for various build ups. Feel free to get in touch directly and we can provide test figures for various things.
Hi Flywith Jet, As a company we provide the expertise and experience to put together solutions to people's sound problems, and we supply the specialist materials they need along with full technical support throughout the project. We don't provide an installation service ourselves. Installation is generally straightforward for a good DIYer or tradesperson.
@@flywithjet1783 It depends on exactly what you need and the size of the room. The best thing to do is go to our website at www.soundproofingstore.co.uk and fill in one of the contact forms. One of our technical advisors will then get in touch and talk through the project with you and can then give you an idea of cost.
Hi Janis Pokulis - In a perfect world a T&G board floating on top without being fixed down would be the best option from a sound point of view, but if you do need to fix down to minimise movement, then yes you can fix through the isolation strip into the joist. It will still reduce the solid contact and give an improvement.
Hi, thank you for the question. There are links in the description to the systems that we use in conjunction with the isolation strip. If you just want the isolation strip on it's own, here is the link soundproofingstore.uk/product/10m-isolation-strip-self-adhesive/
Hi Pilakit Davas, please can you call us so we can discuss this in more detail with you (01423) 206208, or alternatively you can e-mail sales@soundproofingstore.co.uk and send a picture of where the pipe protrudes in relation to your balcony, which would also be useful to see.
I live in a condo and I assume the neighbor’s bedroom is right next to my living room. And the wall seems to be very hollow as when I knock on the wall it doesn’t sound solid. I keep getting noise complaints at night when Im just talking with a friend or listening to music at normal volume. What is the best way to fix this without rebuilding the wall?
Hi thank you for your comment. It's very difficult to give advice without much more info about the structure of the building. It sounds like you're in the US, we're UK based so our construction techniques are slightly different. The best thing for you to do is contact a local soundproofing professional in your area who can talk you through. You certainly shouldn't need to rebuild the wall, but it will probably involve building a new stud wall in front.
@@SoundproofingStore Adding panels on the wall isnt going to help right? I heard those are just for reducing echoes and they dont block sound from going through the wall.
@@jason4573 Thats exactly right. People cover their walls in foam panels and such thinking it might be an easy and cheap way to solve the problem, but it isn't. They reduce echo within the room, they don't soundproof the room. Soundproofing is about adding a lot more mass to the wall, so addiing heavyy, dense layers, but adding those layers in a way that can dampen the energy and vibration of the sound travellign through the structure. There is much more info about the basics of soundproofing in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9wsyxSujkK0.html
