Sound insulation for wall and ceiling cavities

A quieter wall starts with what is inside it

ISO NOISE is an insulation batt placed inside the cavity of lightweight walls, double-leaf masonry walls and ceilings to reduce sound passing through — without making the wall thicker.

7–10 dB
Added sound insulation of a lightweight wall with the batt, compared with an empty cavity*
NRC 0.85

Sheet thickness — sufficient for a 3-inch frame, with no added wall thickness

*According to the supplier and the product catalogue. The documents do not state a test standard. Actual sound insulation depends on the complete wall system.

How it works

The cavity is where sound gets through

When sound hits the first wall layer, its energy builds up and resonates in the cavity, then pushes through to the other side. Fibrous insulation in the cavity absorbs that energy.

Lightweight wall, empty cavity Sound resonates in the cavity and passes through easily
Lightweight wall with ISO NOISE The batt absorbs sound energy in the cavity; less passes through

Products

Two variants with the same size and thickness. Inside a wall cavity they give the same sound-insulation benefit; they differ in material and suitable environment.

Get the concept right first

Sound insulation and sound absorption are different things

Sound insulation

Stops sound passing through a wall, ceiling or floor from one room to another. It is rated as the STC of the complete wall system. ISO NOISE works here, as the core of the wall.

Sound absorption

Reduces echo and reverberation inside a room using materials on the wall or ceiling surface. It is rated by the absorption coefficient or NRC of a material. Absorptive panels in a room do not stop sound passing through the wall.

Engineering behind the advice

Designed by calculation and measurement, not guesswork

About us and engineering services

  1. A dedicated acoustic engineer

    ภูมิใจ ประเสริฐกุลวงศ์ — M.Eng. Civil Engineering, Chulalongkorn University · MSc Sound and Vibration Studies, University of Southampton

  2. Wall performance prediction

    Insul software is used to predict the sound insulation of wall systems, and Odeon to predict sound levels for the actual site conditions.

  3. On-site measurement

    Field measurement of wall sound insulation and reverberation using a sound level meter and loudspeaker source, with a report recommending corrective measures.
