Road Traffic Noise Soundproofing in Perth
Living near a busy road wears you down. Cars and motorbikes (especially hoons) produce mid to high frequencies, while trucks and buses add a low rumble that travels further and is harder to stop. Add pedestrian crossing tickers and a nearby train line, and the noise never really switches off.
At Quash, we’ve been quietening Perth homes since 2009. Every home is different, so we prefer to come out, listen to what you’re hearing, and find the path the noise is taking before we recommend anything.
How We Stop Road Noise
- Windows first. In most homes the window is the weak point. We fit a Sound-Out secondary window behind your existing window, with 6.5 mm VLam Hush acoustic laminated glass and the maximum air gap we can achieve for your windows. Sliding panels let you still open the outer window; fixed panels are available on request where they comply.
- Seal the gaps. Gaps around frames, doors and vents let a surprising amount of noise through, so we always plug the holes.
- Doors and walls where needed. For front doors facing the street, our acoustic doors start from an Rw 31 rating. Wall treatments can help where the noise comes through the structure.
- Bedrooms first. If budget is a factor, we start with the rooms you sleep in.
Every job is backed by the Quash Noise Reduction Guarantee: you’ll hear the difference, or we’ll make it right. For road noise, that means at least half as loud, a 10 dB improvement on what you have now.
Why Secondary Glazing Beats Replacing Your Windows
- You keep your original windows, which suits strata buildings and heritage homes
- Fitted on the inside, so the outside of your home doesn’t change
- A second layer of acoustic glass plus an air gap blocks far more noise than a single window can
- Usually the most cost-effective way to quieten a room
- Better thermal comfort in summer and winter as a bonus
The same approach also helps with aircraft noise, train noise and community noise. See real jobs in our residential case studies.
