Customers Questions and Answers

1) dave : putting up 2 layers 5/8 rock---y recommend green glue ---or vinyle or can i do both?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Dave. You can do both by putting up the vinyl first then the first layer of drywall, Green Glue and the 2nd layer of drywall. If you only want to choose one of the two we recommend the Green Glue over the Mass Loaded Vinyl. Thank You.

2) Robert S: Hello. I work in a industrial facility. Our plant offices are located inside the plant and is a portable prefab office of drywall panels put together between aluminum structural members with a drop ceiling. Right next to the office we have a lift truck aisle and then an exterior wall. It gets pretty noisy in the office. My question - Do you think that hanging sound absorption panels on both the outer office wall, and the exterior wall along the lift truck aisle will reduce the overall amount of sound transmitted into the offices? Would it be more efficient to build a wall a couple of feet from the office wall and then hang the panels on there be better at reducing the sound transmitted to the offices? Thank you.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Robert, It will alleviate the situation somewhat. However your real issue is the sound coming through the drop ceilings and walls. For the drop ceilings try using the ceiling tile barrier. For the walls put insulation or panels on the outside and add a 2nd layer on the inside with Green Glue in between.

3) Nikieah B: I work from home and I need a window cover to block the outside noise. What would be the best option for a standard window to keep the noise from outside coming in? Loud noises like kids playing near window, police sirens, Garbage trucks?

4) Rautha G: Hi, My neighbour has three annoying dogs that bark non-stop,I also have constant traffic,voices and a club (that is not sound proof)near my house.I am thinking of getting the sound Curtain,do you think it will help?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Is this for an outdoor fence?

5) Mark : My backyard fence is on a busy street with lots of traffic with many Amazon trucks. Will a curtain block some of the noise and how high should I make it. The fence to house varies at different parts but is about 50ft from house. Total length of fence is about 70ft

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It would help. 8 feet is the usual height for outdoor noise. Keep in mind sound will always come over the fence as well.

Testimonials

I was at my wit's end! 15 years of barking dogs, and calling animal control. This was my last desperate resort.
Even though they were pricey, I had to try them.
I am so happy!!!
They didn't completely block out the low frequent bass and truck engines, but NO BARKING!
I can sit in my little library, and lose myself in another world, without the constant nagging barking of my neighbor's dogs. (It never stops when she's not home, which is all day every day.)
