Compare Wall Soundproofing Solutions

This table allows you to compare the wall soundproofing solutions that are currently available from SoundStop. Just click on the relevant soundproofing solution below to view more information about it. When comparing solutions for performance the higher the airborne improvement the better the soundproofing. For an explanation of decibels and what these numbers mean look in the glossary. However as a rough guide: Where you have a poorly constructed single skin party wall your acoustic privacy might only between 35 and 40db and you can hear conversational tones and TV easily, the application of any of these solutions will take the party wall to above 55-60db acoustic privacy which is a good level of privacy. Refer to our glossary and case studies for more information.
