HOW TO SOUNDPROOF A CONDO

Noise Control Solutions
for Condos

Condominiums, located in urban, suburban, and resort areas, are more popular than ever. With shopping centers and public transportation close by, college students, singles, and young families are finding the condominium lifestyle to be a popular choice. Our older population, too, is shifting to condo living. Retirees are downsizing, selling their large single-family homes and moving into smaller spaces that require less maintenance and allow more time for hobbies and travel.

These diverse groups often find themselves living in close proximity to each other, above, below, and side by side. The big screen TV with its blaring football game is competing with the home theater symphony next door. The teen rock band, with throbbing bass and guitars sends vibrations through the wall to the neighbor’s home office. Toddlers, riding tricycles, send a traveling rumble across the ceiling of the bedroom below. Sound transmission through walls is the most common noise problem in condominiums and noise coming through ceilings and floors is also a frequent problem.

If you can hear noise from your neighbors upstairs, or they are pounding on the wall every time you turn up the stereo, then soundproofing is the solution to your problem. The key to soundproofing a condo, home, or apartment is to find out where the noise is coming from and then block the sound transmission. You can effectively accomplish this with soundproofing products designed by American Micro Industries. Perhaps your neighbors will want to do some soundproofing, too. Note: Before making structural changes, you may want to contact your condo association.
