What can I put between drywall for soundproofing?
Soundproofing is most effective when you apply one of the following things between drywall layers when installing walls.
- Acoustic panels: These are soft, thick panels that can hang on top of or between layers of sheetrock.
- Green Glue: This specialist compound is put between drywall sheets to improve noise reduction.
- Insulation: As well as increasing warmth and energy efficiency, insulation can help soundproof walls when installed between sheetrock layers.
What is the most soundproof drywall?
Many types of drywall have soundproof qualities, and the best choice may vary depending on the specific room. That said, Type X drywall is the most common material chosen for soundproofing in most commercial and residential spaces. It is particularly thick (5/8”), which helps block sound effectively- and it is fire-resistant for up to an hour.
How do you soundproof a wall that's already built?
There are a few ways to soundproof existing walls. One of the most effective ways is to install acoustic paneling- a soft material that can be hung over drywall and other types of wall materials, then covered to fit in with the interior décor.
You can also fit a layer of soundproof drywall onto an existing wall- securing and filling it with special caulk to enhance efficiency. It is best to have an expert do this to avoid any damage to your walls.
Does two layers of drywall reduce noise?
Installing a second layer of drywall increases wall density- which improves soundproofing between rooms. It is best to use different thicknesses for each drywall sheet to optimize noise reduction.
