I'm a random American dude watching this while drinking coffee and learning about how to isolate myself from the moron who lives next door. I love the level of detail in your videos. High quality. Thank you! Subscribed

Excellent presentation and such a pleasant and clear presenter. Great job!

Your products and informationals have been inspirational.

As a DIYer, i have consumed your advice and guidance and proceeded with a solution inspired by yourselves.

In the end, i did not use Reductoclips as i thought i was chasing silent nirvana for a ‘mere’ living room so opted for an Independent wall with Acoustic board > Techsound > Acoustic board and wow, such a positive change.

My walls were complicated with 3 alcoves in an 1800’s property but cripes, the transformation is awesome. I had 16yrs or no neighbour so was a punch in the face to have them but, the fix is thoroughly worthwhile.

They have committed to doing upstairs as i did downstairs, time will tell, but im very happy with downstairs

This is great, but uk law it's ridiculous, this should be mandatory in renting industry to install.

Ive had new neighbours move in and they are noisy as hell. Not anything malicious just they have 3 kids and a wood floor in there house. The wall is only 1 brick thick between us so I can hear conversations clearly. I believe a lot of the noise is coming through the joists too and resonating into my house as I also have wood flooring. I am just glad there is something I can do about it. I will be saving up to buys the material and fit it myself, and swap my wood flooring for carpet. I am guessing carpet will help me too. Ill be in touch. Thank you for the tutorial videos.

I did my own research for sound isolation in this home and my last one. I am about to pick up the isolation project between basement attic & living level above. All that separated them? Diagonally placed wide plank (approx 6”) sub flooring and narrow oak hardwood floor itself. I can’t dust mop because there’s no dust left when I reach the other side of the room. 🤪

The information you’re sharing on YouTube is not only spot on but presents more effective options I can incorporate into working with some challenging restrictions and variables. I’ve started looked on your website. Hoping I’ll find distributor in the USA. 🤞🏻

[yashodhara]

very clear explanation your videos are excellent easy to understand also you are good looking

[tchotto]

Thks for your videos and comments ! The best way to improve your system is very easy : just do the same work on the other side of that wall ... on the neighbour's side !!! This would be - no ! - this is the best way not to lose too much volume in the room !!! ! And share the investment with the neighbour . Indeed, as said before, the law should impose sound insulation of houses in the same way as it has long imposed improvements to heating systems . It would also add greatly to the social quality of life between neighbours. Quite a program!!! Cheers !!

I would call you as is quite clear you work in very serious/competent manner... unfortunately I live in Milan (Italy) and I have to face proposals much much more expensive and absolutely NOT clear and serious like your... 😩

I’ve got to say I really enjoyed this video, every think was self explanatory, Nice to see a soundproofing video made in England, so at least I know I can obtain the materials lol. I have a similar problem with hearing my neighbours, not that they’re that noisy. With this system would my neighbours benefit from me installing this installation as well ? as I enjoyed my music and quite like heavy rock amongst other musical tastes.

This is a really well-presented video. I'm currently looking at different systems, especially comparing effectiveness against space loss. One question though: I want to protect my neighbours from ME playing music, amplified guitar and umm...snoring. Will the system also work where I'm generating the noise, rather than the other way round?

[mikepike]

0:50 impact sounds... funny that it would be CHEAPER to have those neighbours install sound dampening means directly on these impact locations: stairs with dampening thick cloth..light switch rubberized support on the wall (or new generation light switches...)..etc than for this man to spend big bucks on complete sound isolation of HIS house....

[editorrsnswillawarraregion]

Hi fantastic video.Great amount of detail and very simplistically explained. I am currently sound proofing my garage as I am using it for band practising. Can you advice how I reduce sound trasmitted from my roller doors? I have sealed all the gaps around the tracking system for the doors.many thanks Lawrence from Oz

Great video (and glad the music is reduced in your more recent videos). I'm curious why there are plastic plugs included in your stud fixing kit? I get the plugs would be used when fixing studs to side walls or any concrete floors, etc with the iso strip between surfaces (though 50mm screws seem be a tad short for a 47mm stud), but the ReductoClips themselves are screwed directly into the studs, right? Cheers!

I'm puzzled by the use of a nail gun to pin the plasterboard into metal rails. First, I'm surprised you can nail into metal and I'm also wondering how a nail in such a thin piece of metal will not work it's way loose - presumably, 98% of the nail is in fresh air; not gripped as it would be in wood. Or are these special expanding nails/fixings like gravity toggles?

[mikepike]

6:40 straight into the wall (floor, ceiling) ...???...so NO plugs inside the hole first ??

[fatgreenman]

Great informative video, thanks!

It has only strengthened my desire to have this done. One question if I may. With all the recent price hikes, how much would this cost today? My situation is almost identical to this, in size and expected outcome, and I would like a rough estimate on cost.

Thanks again.

[NemesMik]

Hi, great video, I would like to install this system but I live in northern Italy, near Milan, do you ship to Italy too?

[jonathanmcrae]

What happens when you have already installed suspended timber ceiling. Would I then need to start breaking into ceiling to ensure the soundproofing extends all the way to old ceiling joists?

[nemiwoghiren]

Really great video. Did you also leave the 5mm gap around the first acoustic plasterboard as well?
