Why Us?
We focus exclusively on soundproofing condo ceilings and walls in San Diego. With licensed installers, proven materials, and fast turnaround, we deliver results you can hear — or rather, not hear.
The 4 Common Noise Types
01
Airborne Noise
Sound that travels through the air — like voices, TVs, or barking dogs — and leaks through walls or ceilings.
Soundproofing can block up to 70–90%.
02
Impact Noise
Caused by physical contact, like footsteps or furniture movement, often from above.
Proper ceiling soundproofing can reduce impact noise by up to 50–75%, especially when using resilient channels and damping materials.
03
Flanking Noise
Noise that sneaks around walls or ceilings through vents, outlets, or structural gaps.
Sealing flanking paths can reduce this type of noise by up to 40–60%, depending on the source and layout.
04
Vibration Noise
Low-frequency hums or rattles from HVAC systems, plumbing, or nearby equipment, transmitted through the building’s structure. Dampening and isolating walls can reduce vibration noise by up to 30–50%, helping minimize constant background hums.
How Do We Stop Noise?
1) Airborne Noise (voices, TVs, barking dogs)
We block airborne sound by adding mass and insulation to walls or ceilings. This can include extra layers of sound-dampening drywall, Green Glue between layers, and mineral wool insulation inside the wall or ceiling cavity. These materials absorb and block sound waves before they reach your space.
Typical Reduction: Up to 70–90%
2) Impact Noise (footsteps, furniture movement, dropped items)
Impact noise is reduced by decoupling the ceiling from the structure above. We use resilient channels or sound isolation clips to separate your ceiling from the joists, then add sound-dampening drywall with Green Glue. This breaks the path vibration travels through, turning sharp thuds into softer, quieter sounds.
Typical Reduction: Up to 50–75%
3) Flanking Noise (sound leaking through vents, outlets, wall gaps)
We stop flanking noise by sealing hidden sound paths. This can involve acoustic sealant around gaps, putty pads on electrical outlets, and duct liners for vents. By closing off these side routes, we prevent sound from sneaking around your walls or ceiling.
Typical Reduction: Up to 40–60%
4) Vibration Noise (HVAC hum, plumbing rattles)
Vibration noise is controlled by isolating the source and reducing transfer of vibration. We may add isolation mounts under equipment, wrap pipes in sound-dampening materials, or use mass-loaded vinyl to block low-frequency hums. This helps stop the constant buzzing or rumbling that travels through the building.
Typical Reduction: Up to 30–50%

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does soundproofing make my condo 100% silent?
No — nothing can block all sound completely. With professional installation, expect a 30–90% noise reduction depending on noise type and building structure.
2) How much does it cost?
Most projects range between $2,000 and $8,000, based on size, materials, and the level of control required.
3) How long does installation take?
Most ceiling or wall jobs are completed in 1–2 days with minimal disruption.
4) Will soundproofing affect my HOA rules?
We use HOA-friendly methods and can provide scope, materials, and proof of insurance for HOA approval if needed.
5) What types of noise can you reduce?
Impact (footsteps, furniture), airborne (voices, TV, dogs), flanking (through vents/outlets/gaps), and vibration (HVAC hum, plumbing).
6) Do you work on both ceilings and walls?
Yes — we treat ceilings and shared walls, tailoring the assembly to your specific noise source and structure.
7) Can you work while I’m at home?
Yes. We isolate the work area, protect floors/furniture, and clean up daily. Many clients remain at home during the install.
8) Do you offer free consultations?
Yes — we start with a free phone consultation to understand the problem and propose options.
9) Will soundproofing change how my room looks?
No noticeable change. After finishing and paint, it blends with existing walls/ceilings.
10) Is soundproofing worth it?
For most clients, yes. A quieter home means better sleep, focus, and less stress — it’s a quality-of-life upgrade.
11) Do you have to open my walls or ceiling?
Usually, yes. Effective assemblies add mass, damping, and decoupling, which requires removing and replacing drywall. We patch, texture, and leave it paint-ready (or painted if included in scope).
12) What materials do you use?
Typical systems include double drywall with damping compound (e.g., Green Glue), isolation clips/channel, mineral wool insulation, acoustic caulk, and targeted sealing. We use MLV sparingly and only where it makes sense.
13) Can you stop footsteps from upstairs?
We can cut impact noise significantly by decoupling the ceiling and adding mass/damping. Footsteps are the hardest noise; realistic results are a noticeable reduction, not total elimination.
14) Do you guarantee results?
We guarantee a significant reduction in noise, but no system can block 100%. Our proposals explain the expected improvement so you know what to expect before work begins.
