Soundproofing Empire Park Edmonton

Sound control in Empire Park: what works, and what only feels like it should

In Drywall Empire Park, sound bleeding through walls and floors is the classic complaint: a bedroom over the garage, an office against the living room, a suite below the main level. In Empire Park we build proper sound assemblies — resilient channel, sound-dampening board and sealed details — not just an extra sheet of drywall. Empire Park is an Scona community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so soundproofing here is usually for suites, bedrooms and media rooms. We cover Empire Park, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 7 days a week.

Soundproofing Empire Park Edmonton: your questions answered

Can you soundproof without opening the wall?

Partly. Adding a second layer of board with damping compound and sealing the perimeter gives a real improvement for airborne noise. It does much less for impact noise, because nothing has been decoupled. We will tell you which one you are dealing with.

Will insulation alone soundproof my Empire Park wall?

It helps with airborne noise like voices and television, and does very little for footsteps or bass, which travel through the structure. If impact noise is the complaint, the assembly needs decoupling rather than more batts.

Will it make the room completely silent?

No, and anyone who says otherwise is overselling. A good assembly makes normal speech unintelligible and takes the edge off music and television. Low-frequency bass is the hardest and most expensive to control.

Why can I still hear my neighbour after the wall was upgraded?

Usually flanking — the sound is travelling around the wall through the floor, ceiling or shared framing rather than through it. That is why upgrading only the wall face sometimes changes less than expected in an existing Empire Park building.

Is resilient channel worth the disruption?

It is the biggest lever available, and it adds thickness or drops the ceiling. It must be installed exactly right, because one screw hitting framing through the channel short-circuits the assembly.

Can you soundproof a basement suite in Empire Park?

Yes — suite sound separation between the suite and the main floor is one of our most common Empire Park jobs, on both the party walls and the ceiling.
