When stuck together like this the return you get in terms of insualtion that you get from mass starts to diminish. This is known as masses law that to improve the sound proofing you need to add a lot more weight to get the same return. The Mass Law The most important law in soundproofing is the mass law.The mass law equation says that each time the mass per unit area of a single layer wall is doubled, the transmission loss is increased by about 6 dB. Practically you can double the thickness of the wall or select a material that has twice more density. Both tricks will improve soundproofing by 6 dB, and therefore be heard nearly twice as soundproofing to ear. Also, if you want 12 dB more soundproofing, you need to increase the mass per unit area by a factor of 4. And to increase 18 dB soundproofing, 8 times more mass and so on. In other words I would do one thing or the other ( I would use the Mute boards for ease of fitting over the 19mm planc. Hi,

My question is, "If I take up my existing floorboards and replace them with the Muteboard, how effective will this be? Will combining two different solutions in this way increase the airbourne uplift significantly"? Hi there,
