![]() ![]() The higher the rating, the more effective the product is. This rating is called CAC, which stands for Ceiling Attenuation Class. To be able to compare the performance of different sound absorbing ceiling panels, we rate them by how much sound they can block. Acoustical tiles reduce airborne noise and improve the sound quality within a room by absorbing sound waves and eliminating echoes. ![]() Sound energy is stopped because it has no path to travel along.Īnother ceiling soundproofing solution is replacing ceiling tiles with acoustical tiles. The new drywall only comes in contact with an isolating foam cushion. No hardware makes direct contact with the ceiling. IsoTRAX™ Soundproofing System works by “floating” the ceiling over vibration isolators. The most effective method for soundproofing a suspended ceiling is to remove the current ceiling and install a drywall ceiling with our isoTRAX™ Soundproofing System. Suspended Ceiling Soundproofing – Soundproof Ceiling Tiles To achieve the best ceiling soundproofing with Quiet Barrier® Soundproofing Material, use in combination with Quiet Batt® Soundproofing Insulation. Although Quiet Barrier Soundproofing Material® is available in a 2-pound weight, it’s too heavy for ceiling use. Quiet Barrier® Soundproofing Material can be nailed across joists and sealed with acoustic caulk, like OSI® Pro-Series® SC-175 ™ Acoustical Sound Sealant, before the drywall is installed. This is the best choice when airborne noise is the main sound issue in a room. Quiet Barrier® soundproofing material is a high density, non-porous material that is flexible and easy to install. Quiet Batt® Soundproofing Insulation not only reduces sound, it also insulates.Īnother way to decrease airborne noise is to add a heavy, thick material to trap sound energy and stop it from traveling to another room. This dense, recycled, cotton material is installed between ceiling joists, eliminating the vibrations of sound between the ceiling construction. To combat airborne noise further, a second material can be added, such as Quiet Batt® Soundproofing Insulation. Sound energy has no path to travel along, stopping its transmission. With no hardware making direct contact with the ceiling, the new drywall only comes in contact with an isolating foam cushion. ![]() IsoTRAX ™ Soundproofing System works by “floating” the ceiling over vibration isolators. Drywall Ceiling Soundproofingīy suspending a new drywall ceiling from a vibration isolation system, like isoTRAX ™ Soundproofing System, impact and airborne noise are greatly reduced.
