Creating A Noise Controlled Home Office With Sound Deadening Insulation

As a majority of offices have now moved into a work from home platform in order to protect employees from the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to establish a quiet home office has become increasingly important. Some work from home employees may struggle with finding a noise free workspace due to paper thin apartment walls, loud noises from family members, city traffic, passing trains and barking dogs.

Fortunately, adding sound proofing insulation is a relatively easy process. The best products for sound deadening include: rockwool, cellulose and fiberglass. For new construction, specialty batts or rolls of sound proof insulation can be installed between the studs in walls, ceilings and floors. Retrofitting an existing home with soundproof insulation is as simple as having our certified technicians drill small holes in the wall and blow-in soundproof insulation with a blower machine. The holes are then sealed and repainted to blend in perfectly with the rest of the wall. 

In addition to sound proof insulation, air sealing is also used to prevent sound waves from entering the home office. Air sealing can be implemented around windows, doors, electrical boxes and vents. Soundproof curtains can be hung over windows or soundproof removable glass panels can be installed inside the window frames. Thick carpet or area rugs can be installed to absorb sound as well as hanging foam acoustic panels on the walls.
