Are you constantly disturbed by noise from your neighbors, making it difficult to enjoy peace and quiet in your bedroom? Look no further! In this comprehensive DIY soundproofing video, we will show you step-by-step how to soundproof your bedroom's separating party wall and reclaim the tranquility you deserve.

Imagine being able to sleep soundly without the interference of clear conversations, music, or the TV from your neighbors' dining room. With our expert techniques, we will treat the direct noise path of the separating party wall, significantly reducing noise transmission.

But remember, soundproofing this wall is just one piece of the puzzle. We understand that achieving the desired level of soundproofing involves considering other factors, including flanking areas, fixtures, and fittings. That's why we go beyond just treating the party wall in this video.

Our soundproofing journey starts by removing any previous soundproofing attempts, ensuring a clean surface for the installation process. We'll then reveal the ceiling and floor joists to proceed with the soundproofing.

Next, we introduce a 20mm rubber material to sound deaden the wall, eliminating resonance and vibrations that contribute to noise penetration. A floating frame, isolated from the wall and connected only to the upright studs, further enhances soundproofing effectiveness.

We emphasize the importance of complete insulation with a combination of ROCKWOOL and mass loaded vinyl. This powerful duo redirects and absorbs airborne noise, ensuring an optimal soundproofing outcome.

To guarantee proper soundproofing of the bedroom, we share valuable insights on resilient bars installation and the significance of isolating fixtures and fittings. By following these techniques, you can achieve the soundproofing quality of a detached house.

This was 100 % the best sound prooffng video I've seen, I have very noisy neighbours, and I've been watching hours of YouTube videos to figure out the best course of action...

[DannyDaCat]

What a great video, and it sounds like you're not just trying to apply the same methodologies to all your installations, but you're taking each iteration and making general improvements while also customizing as needed; thanks very much for this!

[SpedSpedding]

Absolutely love this video. One of the best I've seen.

After attaching rubber to the wall, would inbuilt (floor to ceiling) wardrobes be a good way of utilising the lost space that sound proofing needs, if the wardrobes were full of cloths, it should help as well.
I did a job in London where we hung a thin lead blanket that had sponge glued to both sides over the top of partition walls, in order to stop noise from each office.

[timridley]

So how deep is that in the end? Great video thanks.

[andrewwalls]

Thanks Jim .. Lots to learn and thanks for sharing!

how can you build a stud wall without fixing to floor and ceiling, won't it want to fall over? Few years ago now I built a stud wall against party wall, inch short of flanking walls, no fixings into party wall but I fixed to the floor and ceiling, floor and ceiling beams did run parallel to party wall luckily. I used 38x63mm with 38mm as wall depth, with space total 50mm gap, expanding foam between studs and party wall made very firm, filled with the 50mm Rockwool sound batts, covered wall with bituminous carpet tiles then one layer of 12.5 plaster board, so a very lower cost affair but made a huge difference. I am sure what you have done here is super sound proofing, just struggle to imagine a completely floating wall not fixed anywhere?

Dear sir, can we use this combination to reduce noise party wall (made of AAC i assume)

Main (primary) wall > concrete board + MLV 1, 2 mm covering entire wall > second layer of brick wall made of red brick block with thickness 15 cm.

It is to reduce neighbor speaker noise

Hi very good video thanks.What would you suggest to soundproof windows i have noisy neighbours but only when they are in the garden. i have double glazed windows with shutters.Thanks

[agron]

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your useful videos.
Is RWA45 rockwool ok for soundproofing a flat ?
Thanks

[philipcharles]

I live on a corner property with horns blowing etc. My walls are brick and cinderblock. do you recommend the rubber membrane and where do you get the material? thank you

[OLvato]

this timestamp for me. But living in California houses are constructed very differently, ours ues to be Military Housing meaning there not made of Brick Ect there just bacis materials wood and nails. But the Area i am trying to Sound Proof is a gargare that has not yet ben isolated. Going to Be Converted into a Room for folks too sleep in, but Naghbors Dog started being real Annoying... The Ceiling has not been sealed yet can see the 2x4's guess saves me time, the concerning wall on the other have is covered with Three Ply Wood Panles which would have to be removed also the Floor is Cement would be able to do same as in this video. Would that be a problem for the sound proofing? is it possible to sound Proof one side of the wall? after all its only a Dog but if i am will to sound proof know that creature is annoying... Hopfully can A: my Q: and Thank You very much for other video. Excues if this Paragragh in parts does not make sense when back to fit in sentences, and the Annoyance got to me to clean it up Truly Sorry.

My walls are soundproof enough that at most you can make out muffled conversation, but impact noises are INSANE. I'd rather live in a top floor flat again than a terrace.

[deaosatori]

Great vid. I've seen other approaches where the stud wall has nogins and I think it's screwed into the flanking wall through dampening strips. And then dampening clips are used on the stud frame. Do you not like using these clips, muteClips, and this approach in general?

[mubashiryasin]

Hi Jim! Super helpful content and very user friendly! I have a question - after sound deadening the brick wall with tecsound, how do you attach the acoustic plasterboard to the tecsound?is it with adhesives? Or mechanically?

Hi! I am in Portugal and the materials available are different. I can’t find mlv anywhere for example. What’s the equivalent? Do you know? Thanks

[TravelRoss]

Hi Jim. I’m looking at getting blown insulation into my floor (through my neighbors ceiling) how effective do you think this will be? What material would you reccomend?

[axle_foz]

Jim love your videos! I can hear our neighbour so much next door and it’s not that they’re noisy, it’s the walls etc! I can hear them when I’m upstairs and they’re downstairs. Could the chimney breast be a conduit for the sound? It sounds like the major noise is from the chimney?

[Pang-nneq]

How does this work for concrete or masonry walls?

[MrDilbert]

I’m preparing to fix a failed attempt. I wish learned previously what you teach regarding how you must sound deaden the wall. I am planning on adhering 8 mm gym flooring matting to my concrete block wall. They sell a rubber liquid you can coat concrete block with for moisture control. Would it significantly improve my results to apply a rubber coating to the concrete before the gym rubber?
