Advice from a Professional | Soundproofing | Quietco

Quietco Jim Prior explains soundproofing a wall and what to do if your neighbours have installed a TV on the separating party wall, or positioned speakers on the wall or suspended floor.

When noise reaches a certain volume (decibel) it transmits into the structure of the house. If you want to put a TV on your party wall and want to be the considerate neighbour - here are the key points: It is more than likely that if you put your TV on your party wall or the alcoves or on the chimney stack or walls perpendicular to the party wall your neighbours will hear your TV. They will most likely be able to identify TV programs, make out words from the TV and will definitely hear the muffled sound of a TV. They will not only hear the TV noise in the room on the other side of the party wall, but they will hear the TV in the upstairs rooms too and in every room along the separating party wall.

Although every job is different in our trade; our ceiling, walls and floor systems are life changing and when installed correctly have amazing noise reduction results. Unwanted noise cannot be completely eradicated but it can be reduced to an acceptable level, a level at which you get your life back. As a responsible soundproofing company, Quietco will ensure that you benefit and obtain the full integrity of the materials you invest in.
