Decouple Your Walls

GenieClip or Green Glue Clip
Resilient sound clips are the most effective way to isolate sound in a wall. If you need to isolate a home theater, recording studio, or if you are just looking for the highest level of quiet possible then you need a resilient sound clip system. Expect 2 to 3 times the isolation in mid to high frequencies with clips over using a damping compound and 4 to 5 times the isolation in low frequencies with clips over using a damping compound. Our recommendation is the GenieClip for its high performance, easy installation, and well documented testing for sound isolation and fire rating.

Dampen Your Walls

Green Glue Compound
Many sound problems can be resolved by adding a damping layer between two layers of drywall. Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound is tested to not only rate better than other damping compounds, but maintain that rating permanently. Other damping compounds have a similar rating initially, but they will harden over time. Expect around twice the isolation with Green Glue Compound over a 1 LB TotalMass Barrier assembly.

Add Mass To Your Walls

1 LB TotalMass or 2 LB TotalMass
Adding mass to your walls will reduce sound transfer between two rooms. Our TotalMass Barrier is used to isolate mid and high frequencies with no real performance gain in lower frequencies. Our 2 LB material will isolate as well as a dampening layer.
