How do I reduce noise through walls in an apartment?

sound absorbing panels

Confused inharmonious sounds often send chills down one’s spine! The uncanny noise specifically abruption just next door bothers you and denies you proper sleep and focus on your work. The term that best expresses this level of loudness is “Noise pollution”. An effect that is caused due to the unwanted sound emitted through clutter or any sort of harmonic disturbances. Your place of work, the residence, or the places you most commonly dwell is causing these problems to take away your overall comfort, mental peace, etc., and cause psychological trauma. The case worsens if you live or work near the main road where the occurrence becomes invasive. 

Ranging from the intensity to the noise levels and the compactness of the walls where you reside, voice crosses become a common factor that never lets you relax and unwind. Voice crosses agitate through a wall when it is so thin that wavelength passes easily compared to the thick ones. But do not worry, we have brought you incredible ideas that help secure your ears from loud noise.

Identify and Focus on Weak Spot in your Apartment

An apartment can quickly get a weak spot when it comes to noise. You have to identify them and cover the area with soundproof devices like sound-absorbing panels that soak all immense sound types coming through the wall.

Cover Empty Spaces

 An empty corner of a house can echo all the little voices that pass through it. It can scare you at an ideal time of your day, so it is better to fill it up with some furniture and books. If this corner has a window, place a rocking chair near it and utilize your ideal time spent in this corner of your home.

Please search for a possible hole and Glue it up.

There is a probable chance your apartment has a hole that produces strange noise if any vehicle passes by or any wind whistles through it. You can go for acoustic foam and glue the place with it. It’ll reduce the noise just after you install it.

Change Your Door

A sound can not only pass through walls but also from doors and windows too. It can happen that your walls don’t allow sounds, but your door can. You can go for a soundproof door kit that acts as a barrier between noise and you. It blocks the unwanted noise effects that come through the door.

Cover Your Windows

What's the difference between impact and airborne noise? 🔊

1. Airborne Noise

  • This travels through the air, like conversations, TV sounds, or barking dogs. When sound waves hit a building, they cause it to vibrate, transmitting through the structure.

2. Impact Noise

  • This results from physical impacts on buildings, such as footsteps, slamming doors, or moving furniture. Impact noise can be harder to isolate, as these vibrations are stronger and travel further through dense materials.

What are decibels? 📏

Decibels are measured logarithmically (not as a percentage) . This means that every increase of 10dB on the scale is a tenfold increase in sound pressure level (SPL) . Near silence is 0dB 🤫, while a sound at 10dB is ten times louder!

  • 30-40 dB = Soft music, whisper 🎶
  • 60-80 dB = Office noise, traffic 🚗
  • 85-100 dB (HARMFUL) = Subway, shouted convo, chainsaw ⚠️
  • 100-140 dB (DANGEROUS) = Chainsaw, loud concert, racing, shooting range 🚨
