Soundproofing A Room

[ignoranceisbliss 0]

I bought a terrace built in the 60s with A and A done recently by previous owner. I could hear my neighbour yawns, loud music and squeaking doors on one side of the wall. I suspect soundproofing was not done properly when the unit was extended further out to make the room bigger. If I can hear them, I am sure they cal hear me too.

I can't possible redo the wall. Am considering soundproofing that side of the wall.

Any idea on how to, cost and recommendation of companies who perform such works?

It's highly recommended that you go direct to qualified contrators/ builders to obtain quotations based on your requirements.

There isn't such a thing as a standard pricing when there are many factors to consider prior to building up soundproof walls. e.g. sizing of the walls, whether there is a need to tear down & rebuild, types of materials used, type of technology used, recabling issues, etc.

The contractors or builders would have to visit your place for a site visit to conduct a feasibility study & take measurements prior to providing you a quotation.

As such, it's best that you do not hesitate in making an appointment with them so that you have a basis for comparison when it comes to both pricing & methods used for creating soundproof walls for your home.

Thanks Eden, it seems like a lot of work... Wished the walls are thicker. The problem is, how do we get our neighbours to make noise when the contractors are here?!

U might want to ask your neighbours to start talking once your contractors are in your house.

You'll need to build up that sound leaking wall with sound proofing insulation & partition board.

You may want to find out more from this company:
