Soundproofing Ceilings

While improvement in sound dampening is gained, this is the least effective of our recommended solutions. The subfloor above is untreated, and the drywall on the ceiling below is only coupled to the joists.

Our Standard (level 2) solution provides high performance for airborne noise.

This is our most comprehensive ceiling soundproofing solution. It features a treatment to both the subfloor above and the ceiling below.

The standard ceiling upgrade is a basic improvement. It does not reduce the vibration from the upstairs floor. More effective for airborne than impact noise.

A single layer of concrete poses a unique challenge for sound isolation. You really only have two choices.

Use Soundproofing Clips to decoupling and increases soundproofing performance of your walls and ceiling. Eliminate unwanted noise by limiting the connection points between the drywall and ceilings framing.

This assembly will allow sound to easily transfer from floor to ceiling with out encountering any real resistance. It’s not recommended, but included for the sake of demonstration.

Our customers choose this solution most often. It doesn’t address vibration in the subfloor and joists overhead, but it does create more thoroughly damped mass than in the original ceiling.
