What is the best wall insulation material to use that will offer maximum sound protection from neighbor noise?

Author: admin Category: 5

We live in a row house and hear our neighbors through the walls in the dining room and bedroom. We want to insulate our walls and attic for energy conservation but also have the problem of loud neighbors. What sort of insulating material would provide the maximum sound barrier for a little more piece of mind?

Unless you want to tear down your walls a blown in insulation will be your best bet. A foam sheet insulation will probably be a better sound barrier, but you really would have to gut your house to install it. Any insulation is going to help with your noise problem to some degree.

    check out roxul safe and sound barrier and there is a sound barrier drywall available plus watch all plug outlets and switches on the common walls sound will travel through them

    Having foam pumped into your walls is by far the best sound proofing product you can get, it is also the best insulating r value wise and will stop any drafts you may have. The best product of this type is made by the Upjohn company. It is a resin base and requires renting equipment.The second best will be blown in cellulose . But if you already have fiberglass in the walls the foam will be your best Solution.The cheapest way would be to file a complaint with your local police dept.
