For your soundproofing needs, these are some of the major products you can buy:
Acoustic Products- To improve the listening experience in a room, these products are engineered. The sound reflected from ceiling, walls, floor, and other firm surfaces, this product will treat. Commonly known as echoes or as reverberation, they're sound reflection products. Your room will feel like there is a digital surround speaker installed in its walls, after you install this product. From Sonex Panels, Fabric Panels, Ceiling Tiles, Pyramid, Wedges, and many other foam to select from, there are broad choice of acoustic products that you can choose from. You should really know the right application, source of the sound, room layout, and the material properties, for you to correctly choose what product to buy.
Barrier Products- To reflect and block sound, these products are built. Dependent on the density with or without a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing, there is mass loaded vinyl (MLV), barrier that's available. You're going to have to involve addition of mass to the surface, when you want to soundproof your floor, wall, or ceiling. Leading to a decrease in sound, MLV will increase the mass. In terms of Sound Transmission Class (STC,) the performance of your sound barrier products can be seen.
New Green Glue- Offering unique performance at a reasonable cost, this is a leading edge new product. To lower the resonant frequency of a wall, ceiling, or floor assembly, green glue is a liquid, waterborne, visco-elastic material unique in its capability. Between layers of Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), sheetrock, Orientated Strand Board (OSB), and plywood, you can simply sandwich Green Glue. For an improved soundproofing experience, you may also combine any of these and other construction materials.
During the installation process, there are however a couple of things to bear in mind. To penetrate through to the existing studwork or wall be aware that no screws or fixings should be allowed
