How to soundproof a stud wall with SoundBoard 4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2024
- SoundBoard 4 is a direct to stud wall soundproofing panel. A quick and easy DIY installation and cost effective way to soundproof against unwanted noise between an internal timber stud wall.
At only 30mm thick, SoundBoard 4 delivers a slim profile coupled with excellent performance.
Take a look at the before and after sound test!
SoundBoard 4 is the ultimate direct-to-wall soundproofing panel for improving the airborne soundproofing capabilities of low-mass walls. Perfect for stud or low-quality brick walls.
4 layers of mass are cleverly combined into one easy to install soundproofing panel:
1. One layer of 15mm Acoustic Plasterboard - heavier and more dense than standard plasterboard. Which adds more mass to the stud wall to help block airborne noise. Acoustic Plasterboard has the same final finish as standard plasterboard for an easy final decoration
2. First layer of 3mm Mass Loaded Vinyl - which is a high mass acoustic barrier to help block airborne noise
3. 9mm Closed Cell Foam layer helps to dampen sound energy and vibrations
4. Second layer of 3mm Mass Loaded Vinyl adds more mass to further block airborne noise
This video shows the full installation of SoundBoard 4 on a stud wall separating residential rooms within a hotel. It also shows a before and after sound test showing the dramatic improvement following the installation of SoundBoard 4.
The floor within the same room (separating another room) was also soundproofed using SoundMat 3 Plus and the full installation can also be viewed:

Excellent presentation & informative video. I’ll be in touch when I move, shortly, to get my space sorted acoustically 👍
Hi Liam_Doherty_UK, great to hear that you found it useful. We will look forward to speaking with you. Hope all goes well with the move!
Would this work on a wall which is breeze block along with dot and dab plasterboard (around 9.5mm it would seem). It's the only wall in my front room which is outside facing (along with a large window) and removing the plasterboard isn't an option. I'm also not sure how it would be attached to the wall in my case. Any suggestions please. Many thanks.
Hi, Thanks for your question. This is a difficult one to answer in a short comment, but basically it's unlikely that the noise is getting in via the block external wall. This should have plenty of mass and thickness already. The weakest point of the wall is the window, so I would initially look at adding secondary acoustic glazing rather than adding more to your walls. If for some reason the noise is getting in through the wall, adding SoundBoard 4 over the dot and dab can actually make it worse! You need to remove the dot and dab and fix the SoundBoard 4 directly to the surface of the wall.
@@SoundproofingStore Huge thanks for your quick reply. Apologies however as what I failed to mention is that the noise is coming from the flat ABOVE and not from outside. Primarily conversation and TV can be clearly heard if stood close to the wall and with absolute clarity if an ear is pressed to the wall. Hence I wondered if adding this system to the walls would go someway to deadening the sound to a degree. I'm aware that total isolation from the noise would be a difficult task but if anything can lower the clarity of the noise (which I assume is flanking noise) then that's the kind of result I'm after. Many thanks once again for taking the time to answer my initial question.
@@ds-ve2qo No worries, happy to help. The dot and dab plasterboard will certainly be playing a part in this problem as you have a cavity behind the board for sound to freely travel up and down. So again, I would definitely remove that. SoundBoard 4 may help to a degree by adding more mass but without creatign a cavity. The better option is our ReductoClip direct to wall system - www.soundproofingstore.co.uk/reductoclip-direct-to-wall-system
do you guys have (or have plans) for a mainland (Belgium/Benelux) store / webshop ?
I'm afraid we have no plans at the moment to expand into Europe, we're just UK based at the moment.
If you had to guess / or have data - what would you say about this system compared to
your fully floating solution. I love the space saving on this but have FOMO on the other. 😂
Great question. Our ReductoClip System is always going to perform much higher because of the de-coupling and vibration damping of the system. So if you have the space to use the ReductoClip system then that will always be better. However, some situations don't necessarily need the absolute best performance or don't have the space. In this case with it being lightweight stud walls, we know the SoundBoard 4 will make a huge difference while keeping things more simple and less space loss. However on a solid brick / block wall the SoundBoard 4 won't offer as much of an improvement so the ReductoClip system would be our recommendation. Hope that helps!
@@SoundproofingStore interesting! yes thanks that helps. It's is for solid walls.
@@SoundproofingStore What are your thoughts on lining a loft floor with this? The ceiling is braced with extra beams to take the weight. Plus no one will be walking in the loft. I'm just trying to be cunning with soundproofing above a ceiling more than below one to lessen sound transfer to our neighbours.
@@KASmonkeys I would offer a good improvement in regard to airborne sound, however I wouldn't recommend it for practicality reasons. The boards aren't structural and although you know that, if you moved house in the future the new owner might think they are floor boards and may walk on them or store heavy things on them and they would collapse. You would be better off using one of our high mass floor board options - www.soundproofingstore.co.uk/soundscreed-25-direct-to-joist
