How can I block sound?
A: Block Sound with SoundSentinel®
People are always asking; “How can I block sound?” One option we like is installing a high density polymer like SoundSentinel®. SoundSentinel® is a mass loaded vinyl barrier designed for commercial, industrial, and residential applications to reduce sound disturbances in a space. It is used primarily behind finished wall or ceiling surfaces to block and dampen noise across the sound spectrum. SoundSentinel® is also extremely effective as a pipe and duct wrap to absorb additional noises. Because it resists mold and mildew, it’s also a great air and moisture barrier to improve HVAC efficiency. Pair with Fabricmate’s Acoustic Wall Finishing System for a comprehensive and versatile noise control solution.
SoundSentinel® Real World Performance
SoundSentinel® out performs the untreated wall at each frequency, though the difference in performance varies by frequency. These values represent a single layer of SoundSentinel® but additional layers can increase effectiveness.
While the STC is an easy-to-use universal measurement of sound transmission, it doesn’t tell the whole story. The sounds around us come in a wide range of frequencies but STC only measures one point in that range at 500hz. The values in the table to the left represent the sound lost in transmission (amount of sound the wall blocked).
