Acoustic insulation in Rural North East South Sturgeon, the cavity half of the job

Acoustic insulation is one lever of four. Mass, decoupling, damping and sealing are the others, and a cavity full of good batts behind an unsealed perimeter still leaks sound. We would rather explain that first than have you pay for batts and be disappointed.

Acoustic Insulation Rural North East South Sturgeon Edmonton: your questions answered

Which single wall is the best value to do?

A bedroom sharing a wall with a living room or kitchen, especially if that wall is already open for other work. The noise is airborne, the improvement is obvious, and it is a small addition to work already scheduled.

What should I realistically expect afterwards?

Conversation next door becomes an indistinct murmur rather than words you can follow, and television becomes background. It will not be silence, and bass will still come through.

I insulated the wall and still hear next door. Why?

Usually a flanking path — a shared floor, a continuous ceiling cavity, a duct crossing both rooms, or the gap under the door. The weakest path sets the result, so we look for it before recommending the wall.

Will acoustic insulation stop my neighbour's television in Edmonton?

It will make it substantially harder to follow, which for most people is the goal. It will not make the wall silent, and it does much less for bass than for speech.

We insulated the wall and can still hear each other. Why?

Often a shared duct run. Sound travels down the metal and through the openings, going around the wall entirely. That is a mechanical fix — lined duct or a silencer — not an insulation one.

Do I need to seal as well, or is the insulation enough?

You need to seal. A perfectly filled cavity behind an unsealed perimeter still leaks sound — gaps at the floor and ceiling and back-to-back outlets carry it straight past the batts.
