— TWO WAYS TO CONTROL NOISE —

Sound‑Proofing & Masking

There are two scientific ways to stop noise from disturbing you: Blocking (stopping sound from crossing between spaces) or Masking (covering speech with calibrated pink noise).

🛡️
BLOCKING — STOPS TRANSMISSION

Sound‑Proofing

Prevents sound from crossing between two separate spaces (noisy neighbor, highway, machine room). Works through mass & density.

MASKING — FOR OFFICES

Sound Masking

Raises speech privacy in open offices via calibrated pink noise without increasing overall noise.

— THE ENGINEERING BEHIND IT —

What Is Sound‑Proofing?

Stopping sound waves from passing between two spaces via mass + decoupling + damping + absorption — four physics principles, tested in lab. t-else=""

Sound pressure level dB scale from breathing 10dB to pain threshold 140dB
01 · DECIBEL SCALE

Sound Is Not Linear

The decibel scale is logarithmic. Every +10 dB is perceived as twice as loud. That's why dropping from 70 to 50 dB in your room feels enormous.

  • 40 dB — quiet office; deep focus possible
  • 65 dB — open office; speech privacy starts to fail
  • 85 dB — occupational safety limit (8-hour) — OSHA

REF · OSHA 1910.95 · ISO 1996-1

Mass Law graph: transmission loss vs surface density at 500 Hz
02 · MASS LAW

Doubling Mass = +6 dB

A barrier reduces sound by 20·log₁₀(m·f) − 47 dB (drywall @ 500 Hz). Doubling the surface mass adds only +6 dB. That's why mass plus decoupling is the right strategy.

  • 12 mm drywall (10 kg/m²) ≈ STC 33
  • Double drywall + 5 mm MLV (25 kg/m²) ≈ STC 41
  • Decoupled double wall + cavity insulation ≈ STC 60+

03 · ABSORPTION LAYER · IN SITU

Absorption — Inside the Cavity

Insulation batts (pink or gold) are friction-fit between studs at 40-60 kg/m³ density. Their job: absorb acoustic energy inside the cavity before it exits the other side. Combined with double drywall + MLV + resilient channels → STC 60+.

  • Electrical boxes must be sealed with intumescent putty pads
  • Density, not just thickness, determines performance

04 · FLANKING PATHS

A Wall Is Only as Strong as Its Weakest Leak

An STC 60 wall in lab may deliver only STC 35 on site if the contractor leaves a 5 mm door gap or a shared HVAC duct. Every joint, every penetration, every opening = a leak that must be sealed.

— STANDARDS & METRICS —

We Work to Certified International Standards

STC vs IIC vs NRC — three different acoustic metrics with test standards
METRICS · 3 SCALES · 3 PROBLEMS

Three Metrics, Don\'t Mix Them

Each metric answers a different question. Picking the wrong metric = wrong solution = failed project.

  • STC — airborne sound between two rooms (talk, TV)
  • IIC — impact noise from floor above (footsteps, drops)
  • NRC — echo absorption inside a room (speech clarity)

— FAQ —

Quick Answers

Do foam panels block neighbor noise?+
No. Foam absorbs echo inside a room but does not stop sound from passing through walls. To stop your neighbor hearing you, you need mass + decoupling (MLV, double drywall, mineral wool) — not lightweight foam.
Why isn't adding another drywall layer enough?+
Mass Law gives only +6 dB when you double density — modest. An effective wall combines four ingredients: mass (double drywall) + damping (MLV) + absorption (mineral wool) + decoupling (resilient channel). Without all four, on-site performance disappoints.
What's the difference between blocking and absorbing?+
Blocking = stopping sound between spaces (measured by STC). Absorption = reducing echo inside one room (measured by NRC). Most projects need both — one doesn't solve the other.
Airborne vs impact noise — what's the difference?+
Airborne noise travels through air (talking, TV, music) — measured by STC. Impact noise travels through structure (footsteps, drops, knocks) — measured by IIC. Each needs a different fix: airborne = mass in the wall; impact = resilient layer under the floor.
What causes most soundproofing projects to fail?+
Flanking paths. A wall might be STC 60 in lab, but a 5 mm door gap, a shared HVAC duct, or an unsealed electrical box drops on-site performance to STC 35. Every joint and every penetration must be sealed.
What's the fix for a noisy-neighbor wall?+
5 mm MLV over the existing wall, then an additional drywall layer on resilient channels. Adds ~12 dB STC without demolition. For higher performance (STC 60+), we build a decoupled double wall with Mass Loaded Barrier and mineral wool.
Is floor soundproofing different?+
Yes — floors need a resilient layer (elastomer or cork) below the finish to break the vibration path into the structural slab. Improves both IIC (impact) and STC. Concrete is harder than timber and needs separate assessment.
What about ceilings?+
Ceilings usually have impact noise from above (IIC) or flanking through a shared plenum (lateral STC). Solution: a hat-channel suspended ceiling + mineral wool in cavity + double drywall. Stops both vertical and lateral paths.
Can I install this myself?+
Some products (MLV, Water Pipe Damper) are DIY-friendly. But high-STC walls need understanding of resilient channels, avoiding acoustic bridges, sealing electrical boxes — small mistakes cost big dB. We recommend professional install for any sensitive project (studio, hospital, office).
When do I need Sound Masking instead of blocking?+
In open-plan offices where you cannot build walls, Sound Masking is better than trying to isolate every workstation. Calibrated pink noise @ 45 dBA raises speech privacy with no physical barriers. For private offices, use traditional blocking.
Which product fits my problem?+
Noisy neighbor or machine room? MLV or Mass Loaded Barrier. Highway/construction noise? Outdoor Barrier. Loud water pipes? Water Pipe Damper. Chaotic open office? Sound Masking System.
Do you ship outside Riyadh?+
Yes, we ship to 15+ Saudi cities with local installation where available (Jeddah, Dammam, Makkah, Madinah, Taif, Abha, Tabuk...).
What are your international certifications?+
ISO 23351-1 · ASTM E90/E413 · ASTM E1130 · CE · TÜV SUD · GreenGuard · design compliant with Saudi Building Code (SBC).
How long does the project study take?+
Initial assessment within 24–48 hours. Full quote within 3–5 days after site visit. Installation begins within a week of approval.
