How to reduce noise in the office (Cheap acoustic panels)
Are you tired of dealing with poor acoustics in your office or meeting room? You're not alone. Over 54% of office workers are dissatisfied with their office acoustics, and it's likely impacting communication and productivity. In this video, we take you to BlueVoyant in Leeds, where we transformed a noisy, echo-filled meeting room into a quiet, productive space using Still Note acoustic panels.
Project Overview:
At BlueVoyant, the meeting room suffered from excessive echo and reverberation due to the abundance of hard surfaces. This made it difficult for employees to communicate effectively, especially during conference calls. To solve this problem, we installed Still Note panels-40mm thick ...

I clicked off when I heard "noggins" 🙅♂
I just found it cheaper and easier to kidnap my upstairs neighbours...
Too thick.
If I can hear it now like 23db ON if I have this soundproof wall, will mean I will not hear anything anymore?
Hi, This demonstration is designed to give you an idea of what a 23dB reduction sounds like. For best results, you will need to match the volume of the video to the volume of the noise you hear through your walls. Thanks!
Does this stop dog’s barking or when neighbours bangs their doors and sound travels through the side walls?! I live in a semi detached house and have party walls. Thank you.
Looking someone do it properly.
There's a noisy (impact noise) business under my apartment, what can I use to reduce the noise?
Very informative and clear information 👍👍
how does this work for blocking out heavy bass, low frequencies.....that's what i'm trying to block out from my neighbors apt next door, i keep hearing his bass... does this system work for bass?
Hi, Low frequencies are the hardest to soundproof against. That's why you can always hear the bass outside a bar or nightclub. That being said this system will reduce a lot of the bass you're dealing with. If you want to see how it holds up against different frequencies you can see the data here www.ikoustic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/iKoustic_MuteClip_Systems_Performance_Data.pdf Thanks!
Why is it so hard to find soundproof contractors in the US like this.. I’m in Atlanta, GA and have called 15 contractors and get same response- yeah we don’t really do that.. bummer
25 mm soundblock 50 mm framing infilled with 50mm soundblock then two sheets soundproof insulation board ! Cheap and very very effective! Happy me !
Space Karen's rusty elephant.
Ah yes the question that keeps me up at night
Damn ive always wanted to know this
Promise this isn't sarcasm? 😅
@@iKousticSoundproofing uhmm sure why not
I appreciate that iKoustic’s watchwords / phrases are scientific validation - with all of the white noise ( no pun intended ) and hot air, in the world. I’m, rather, curious ; It is likely that the lot of you drive. What, if any, materials do you soundproof / acoustically dampen your vehicles with ? ‘ Any recommendations ? Please, take care.
A lot of people install sound-damping membranes like Tecsound in their vans. 😄
You didn't even have to clap the blocks.You could hear it in your voice😅
Yeah agreed, it's a crazy difference.
You spend too much time in bars if this is a problem for you 😅
😂 did I say bars? I meant offices and churches of course. 😅
Ok good.. your products cover whole rooms soundproofing.. but how can you all tie it all together, rather than individual projects pleases guide on whole rooms soundproofing, from floor, wall to ceiling.. which one we tackle first if doing whole rooms, from floor, wall to ceiling ?
Thanks for the feedback! generally, we don't see domestic users soundproofing full rooms unless it's for a music studio but if that is the case you're best starting with the floor then working on the ceiling and walls at the same time. Here's a good example --> www.ikoustic.co.uk/case-studies/soundproof-home-theatre/
It's worse in Aussie Pubs. They will play music aswell. Turning it up higher and high when the sound is too much
So frustrating isn't it! In my experience, most business owners don't even know there's a way to improve this problem.
not just a UK problem.
The difference comes from occupied space... what bar have you ever gone into that has no deco or anything? This could be more useful for hospitals, waitrooms etc
The bar I go to is under an old stone vault with wooden floors, so the echo is crazy and the only thing absorbing the noise is the people inside
@@adrianb.6479 Okay, but thats very niche. In general, what bar has this bad accoustics? I am not trying to be a bellend, legitimate question/feedback for this lad.
@@PAL617 most bars I've been to had little to no sound-absorbing decoration (such as carpets, soundproofed ceilings, etc.), mostly just regular old wood and stone buildings, or concrete and tiles if it's newer, so acoustics are almost always shit
When the industrial stripped-back style came in is when this became common. It's not just bars restaurants and cafe's have it too. Google 'Two Magpies Bakery Norwich' and you'll see what I mean. Lovely place but the acoustics are so bad! You're totally right though we do install this in hospitals, waitrooms, offices, village halls and churches too. 😄
👌amazing 👏
Hi iKoustic, great video! Any specific reason why you recommend the 60kg/m3 mineral wool over the 100kg/m3 mineral wool? I'm assuming its simply an effectiveness per cost as 100kg/m3 would always be better. Is it just that it's a negligible gain for the much more expensive wool? Thank you!
Hi Studio5, You've hit the nail on the head! For most people, it's only a negligible gain for the price uplift. Cheers, Miles
Say you soundproofing ceiling, then a child upstairs jumps, what would that sound like with the new soundproofing, because imagine it won't be silent?
The ceiling soundproofing would help reduce the noise greatly but it's unlikely it would be able to eliminate it completely. This type of impact sound is best treated at source so using an acoustic underlay on the floor above would be useful!
Get right to the point of your video. Thumbs down for making me wait too long to see the pads efficacy.
Great vid. Can I attach the clips directly to a block wall (e.g. with TapCon masonry screws)?
8:31 "Find the installation PDF linked below." - I am not finding the link. . .
Oops! That's been added to the description now, thanks for bringing that to our attention.
Thanks for the informative video. I'm just curious why you stand up the drywall, short-side down instead of long-side down to reduce the number of vertical seams in the wall. I'd think less seams less noise penetration. Also less vertical seams makes the finished wall look smoother to the human eye. I used isolation clips on my ceiling and on the walls I laid my drywall long-side down for my percussion room and it has worked very well.
what if I hear neighbors ~next door~ dragging their whole house? What is the reason? how do I solve this? I don't hear them talking, just the furniture
how about the walls and the ground? is it useful for just ceiling installation?
Thank you for your great video.
So can these be fitted on a brick party wall? What sort of sound will this board stop?
Hi, I previously heard that bass was an impact sound so simply adding mass won't give any noticeable difference, and this video says that it will. Can you clarify?
Amazing channel, would love to see before after
Hi, can the board be installed without the metal bits? Thanks.
Hi K0msur, Yes you can just use acoustic plasterboards if you wish to improve your noise issue. It's worth noting it won't deliver the same results but if you are only after a small improvement this is a common choice. here is an example: www.ikoustic.co.uk/products/stud-wall-soundproofing/muteboard-2/
Hi thanks for the reply, but what I meant was, if I install a frame out of timber and put the rockwool inside, can I just drill the plasterboard onto the timber frame?Thanks.@@iKousticSoundproofing
@@K0msur You can yes. This will result in poorer performance but is a common soundproofing technique.
Two floor videos but no wall?
Our latest video on wall soundproofing is now live, You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/5RotND-q2Xk/видео.html Thanks!
What about resilient bars / mute clips?
Hi David, This system is designed for low-level noise issues or when there are budget and space constraints. If you're looking for a better system that uses the MuteClip please see our Gold/Silver system video here: ruclips.net/video/8qaLUUq7a80/видео.html Thanks!
wall or floor?
if I got 2 things at 23 db will it combine at 46db or will it stay 23db
No that’s not how sound works. It will probably be more like 30db
How effective are these systems in reducing impact noise, coming from side units with hard floors and no carpets? Think of small children dancing in clogs. That's the main problem a friend of mine has and one I will have when I move.
Impact noise is harder to deal with but we've had plenty of customers reduce this issue to a tolerable/unnoticeable level. If you're actively looking to take on a project feel free to call us, our technical team can talk you through your options and expected results.
@@iKousticSoundproofing Thanks. I'll give them a call.
Are these cheaper than exhausting IB-1 clips already out there? Once the are under $1.00 it will be a no brainier to do on all renovations and new construction
Mute clips system vs Genie clip system DB difference? thanks
Hi Nobleman, Our dB figures are available here: www.ikoustic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/iKoustic_MuteClip_Systems_Performance_Data.pdf Unfortunately, I'm withheld from making a direct comparison on this product but I assure you the information is available online. Best of luck with your project and feel free to contact the team if you have any questions.
Hi. How you can connect the stud frame with the existing wall? 🤔 Only in this part I'm struggling. Thank you
Hi, our current systems don't actually use an additional stud frame. This setup is for our in-house testing and is a stud wall supported by brick pillars. Our current wall systems use MuteClips that are screwed directly into your brick or stud wall. However, if you want to create a decoupled stud wall in front of your existing brick wall, you would need to cover the outer perimeter in flanking band, to reduce vibration transference, and then screw the frame to the adjacent structures.
Great video, seems to add a lot of weight to the floor though? if this was installed on a first floor presumably you would have to get a structural engineer involved?
Hi, Because all soundproofing uses high mass, it is best to consult a structural engineer before you install a system, yes.
Do you use acoustic sealant between the sections of tecsound
Hi, It shouldn't be required between the Tecsound layers as there aren't usually gaps. As the video shows, you can fit the Tecsound layers right up next to each other. You can also overlap them slightly and then trim away the excess for a perfect fit. If you did end up with some cracks, then sealant won't hurt and is a good idea. Hope that helps!
Thanks! You offset the stud wall from the party wall, but then isn't the rock wool touching the party wall? Is that an issue?
Hi @@deaosatori216 , No, this is perfectly fine. Acoustic mineral wool doesn't conduct vibrations in the way rigid materials do. Instead it 'exhausts' them, so contact is perfectly fine and will prevent cavity space fo the drum effect.
Thanks! Do you ever experiment with adding rubber or tecsound direct to wall before building the stud, like quietco often suggest?
Hi @@deaosatori216, We haven't done this but we prefer using a membrane between two rigid layers (in this case acoustic plasterboards) as it adds a degree of flex. This prevents a sound that might excite layer one from easily passing into layer two.
Can you provide a video on, or somehow showcase a before or after scenario? If so, sign me up.
We are looking to film a video just like this in 2024!
Can you insulate exposed floorboards (like old exposed victorian floorboards)?
Hello my upstairs neigbours when they walk or when they drop something down i cann hear everything but everything.If i put rockwool with plasterboard is good?
Hi! While the mineral wool is going to reduce the amount of sound reverberating inside the floor cavity, you'll want to decouple the ceiling because this is impact noise. Without decoupling the ceiling, the impact vibrations can still easily travel through the floor, into the ceiling and transmit into your room below.
@@iKousticSoundproofing hey thank you for the reply you are the best.But because i dont know nothing about this. The man that will come to do this he told me he will put rockwool and then he will put plasterboard and the roof will come down 15 inches (points)
Note: i did it but it dont help .
@@aggelosalexandrou7475 Did they put shock absorbers between the original wall and the new one? For impacts to be effective, no component of the new roof has to touch the original. In addition to also doing the walls, because otherwise, the noise will come out through the walls that are in contact with the ceiling.
This looks like a good system. I've always had good luck with 2 walls with regular drywall on the first, then 1/2", insulation, and a double layer on the second. No special materials needed which is a plus. I can't hear anything of the neighbors despite sharing a very tall wall. I may look into this if I have to do another one and don't have the space.
Does this mean you didn’t build a stud wall and put plasterboard on the wall then 1/2 insulation? If so how did you fix it & what insulation? Bit confused with all these special systems..
I'm the noisy neighbour, well my dogs are, can this be used on walls?😊
Hi Chris, yes it certainly can! I've linked you to the systems page for walls. You can use the MuteClip on stud and brick walls and this will give you the bes reduction for the space you use. We also have another video explaining how this works on a wall v/s only using soundproofing panels.
