Soundproofing

Ground Up & Retrofitting

Soundproofing is the art and science of controlling noise transmission between spaces; creating environments where peace, privacy, and focus thrive.

Noise travels in two primary ways: airborne sound, which moves freely through the air and sneaks past gaps like doors, vents, windows, outlets, or thin partitions (think conversations, music, traffic, or barking dogs); and structural (or impact) sound, which vibrates directly through shared building elements such as walls, floors, ceilings, and framing (common culprits include footsteps, dropped objects, slamming doors, or even plumbing vibrations).

Effective soundproofing demands a strategic approach that addresses both pathways; sealing leaks for airborne noise while decoupling and adding mass to interrupt structural vibrations.

Sound Affects is your ultimate resource for every soundproofing challenge. With proven expertise and customized solutions, we deliver the results that ensure the success of your project.

Acoustics

Early Stage & Existing Spaces

Acoustics refers to how sound is transmitted and performs inside of a space. An example would be managing echo in a restaurant or an office building. This is achieved with the use of sound absorption and deflection material such as acoustic sound panels, diffusing panels, rugs, ceiling clouds, baffles, and more.

We handle every aspect of bringing optimal acoustics to your space. From precise on-site measurements and acoustic analysis to expert recommendations on the right combination of absorption and diffusion products tailored to each specific environment. We provide custom built products and also source high-quality, third-party materials. We provide flawless design and installation, whether it’s strategically placing wall panels to eliminate echo in a lively restaurant, suspending ceiling clouds and baffles to control reverb in an open office, or integrating diffusers for balanced, natural sound in a conference room. Our goal is seamless results: clearer conversations, reduced fatigue, enhanced comfort, and a polished look that complements your interior.

Consulting

Plan Analysis & Custom Details

We offer expert consultations to architects and general contractors during the planning and design phases, well before construction begins.

As your acoustic and soundproofing partner from the start, we review floor plans to spot potential noise issues, reverberation problems, or privacy concerns. We deliver clear, actionable recommendations on wall/floor/ceiling assemblies, material selections, STC/NRC targets so your drawings include the precise details needed for accurate bidding, code compliance, and successful execution by the builder or installer.

Early collaboration helps avoid costly change orders, rework, or performance gaps later.
