Soundproofing vs. Sound Absorption
As Southern Ontario’s leading experts in noise control, people often contact us with noise issues and request that we assist with a ‘soundproofing’ solution – in which we are always happy to help.
However, there is a common misunderstanding with this terminology. Let’s dive into this matter and discuss the difference between soundproofing and sound absorption and the different situations that dictate which application is best.
Soundproofing:
Soundproofing is the blocking or isolating of sound between spaces. This method is used when noise is carried between spaces such as a dividing wall or between an upper and a lower floor.
The materials used for soundproofing are typically dense, as the mass is used to stop sound from penetrating between spaces. In addition to adding soundproofing materials as density, there are several other methods of soundproofing including the treatment of ductwork and specialized framing techniques.
Our soundproofing services can be implemented during new construction as well as post construction in what we call retrofit installations. Both avenues are incredibly effective in getting the desired results of blocking out unwanted noise. Contact us to learn more about how our soundproofing services can help to bring you peace and quiet.
Common Scenarios That Require Soundproofing:
- Between Condos or Apartments
- Neighbouring Walls of Townhouses
- Multi-Unit Apartments/Conversions
- Home Theatres
- Hotels & Inns
- Recording Studios
- & More
Sound Absorption:
Sound absorption is the absorption of sound, most typically echoing, within a common space. This method is used when poor sound quality is present in group areas such as open concept rooms with high ceilings.
The materials used for sound absorption are lightweight acoustical panels which can be installed on walls and/or on ceilings. Our sound absorption services can be planned out during the design phase of new builds and renovations or, more commonly, at the request of clients after many noise complaints by staff or customers.
There are various materials that can be used for sound absorption but most are coined ‘acoustical panels’. We offer standard acoustical panels as well as custom made art and cutting edge designs catered to your specific project. Contact us to inquire about our selections of acoustical panels and sound absorption services today.
