Are your soundproofing solutions falling short?

Understanding and resolving common noise control challenges

If you’ve recently attempted to soundproof a room, but you’re still hearing unwanted noises, you are not alone! There are many factors which can lead to soundproofing failures.

Here are some common potential soundproofing issues, and how Avenue Interior Systems products can help you achieve better results.

9 common reasons why soundproofing solutions might fail

1) A lack of preparation

Successful soundproofing starts with research and planning. If you don’t assess your room’s acoustics and understand the noise you’re dealing with, it’s very easy to choose the wrong soundproofing solutions.

Consider these questions:

  • What noise are you trying to block (e.g. workplace chatter, machinery, or external noise)?
  • Is the noise coming from outside or inside the room?
  • What are the frequency levels of the noise?

And if you need advice or assistance with finding the answers to these questions, Avenue Interior Systems offers a site visit to help you identify the best solutions for your space.

2) Choosing the wrong products

The materials you use for soundproofing matter. Avenue Interior Systems provides high-quality products, such as acoustic panels and insulation, designed to reduce noise effectively. Using cheaper or generic products might save you money now, but could lead to higher costs in the future as you attempt to ameliorate poor quality soundproofing.

3) Relying on one soundproofing solution

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to soundproofing. That’s why to achieve the best results, it’s essential to combine different products. For example, using Avenue Interior Systems acoustic panels together with soundproof insulation can significantly reduce the overall noise in a space.

4) Ignoring flanking noise

Sometimes, sound can sneak in through unexpected paths, such as gaps around doors or ducts – a phenomenon known as flanking noise. Avenue Interior Systems offers sealing solutions to help close these gaps, reducing flanking noise and improving overall soundproofing.

5) Improper installation

Proper installation is the key to an effective soundproofing solution. Guidelines for placing and sealing products are important. With this in mind, Avenue Interior Systems provides detailed installation instructions to ensure that our products perform at their best.

6) Not seeking professional help

If you’re unsure about soundproofing solutions for your project, it’s a very good idea to consult with the professionals. Avenue Interior Systems can evaluate your space and recommend the right products for your needs.
