Residential Soundproofing Perth
- Road and freeway traffic noise
- Aircraft noise under the Perth Airport flight path
- Neighbours heard through shared walls in apartments, villas and townhouses
- Footsteps and voices through the floor of two-storey homes
- Air conditioners, pool pumps and bore pumps
- Echo in open-plan living areas, stairwells, home theatres and music rooms
Plug the holes first
Sound takes the easiest way in. In most Perth homes that is the windows and doors, not the walls. So before we talk about products, we come out, listen to the noise and find the weak spots. Then we fix those first.
It is usually the most cost-effective way to get a real result, and it means you are not paying for work that won’t make a difference. Once the main paths are sorted, you will often start to notice the next weakest spot. That is normal, and we will tell you up front where it is likely to be.
What we install in homes
Secondary glazing for windows
Our SoundOut secondary windows fit inside your existing frames, so you keep your windows and the outside of the house doesn’t change. Every window uses 6.5 mm VLam Hush acoustic glass with the maximum air gap we can achieve for your windows. SoundOut was designed for noise, where standard double glazing was designed to keep heat in or out. If your current windows are in really poor condition, we will tell you and suggest replacing them instead. More on window soundproofing.
Acoustic doors and seals
A hollow-core door with gaps around it lets almost everything through. We fit acoustic doors starting from an Rw 31 rating, with perimeter and drop seals, to bedrooms, studies, home theatres and balconies.
Walls, ceilings and floors
For neighbour noise through a shared wall, we install an acoustic wall lining system on the common wall. For noise between floors, we build an acoustic system into the ceiling below. Both are finished to match the rest of the room.
Acoustic panels for echo
Hard floors, high ceilings and open-plan living make homes echo. Autex QuietSpace panels soak that up. They are made to measure, come in a range of colours and can be custom printed with artwork or photos.
Air conditioner and pump enclosures
Noisy outdoor units are a common cause of neighbour complaints. We design and build acoustic enclosures that quieten the unit while letting it breathe.
Real jobs, real Perth homes
- Under the Perth Airport flight path: a shift worker couldn’t sleep during the day. We worked on the balcony door and the window beside his bed, including a lead-lined Rw 39 acoustic door.
- Adelaide Terrace apartment: secondary sliding windows with 6.5 mm acoustic glass in the living area and nursery, finished before the new baby arrived.
- Fremantle two-storey home: an acoustic ceiling system built between the exposed joists to stop noise coming through the floor.
- Apartment shared wall: an acoustic wall lining on the common wall so the neighbours’ noise stays on their side.
- Strata apartment: retrofit secondary glazing behind the existing windows, so nothing changed outside the building.
- Swanbourne family home: 25 mm Autex QuietSpace panels through the home and acoustic panels in the stairwell to take out the echo.
