Noise from Adjoining Plant Room

Installed a 30m-wide free-standing wall Tontine polyester insulation and 3 layers of 13mm plasterboard.

Prominent Sydney-based property developer Mr Warren Johns called Soundblock Solutions to reduce excessive noise levels in the master bedroom and hallway of his luxury apartment at Sydney’s Circular Quay. The noise was being caused by an adjoining plant room housing a large air conditioning unit.

"We couldn’t sleep at night with the loud noise and vibration. We were very pleased with the end result. The noise has been cut completely. I can certainly recommend Soundblock."

High Rise Apt Block

(Opposite busy highway and railway line) - Excessive noise inside apartment

Installed a secondary acoustic window system & three secondary acoustic sliding aluminium doors to effectively block out the noise

Excessive noise inside a three-bedroom apartment in northern Sydney caused by external traffic and nearby train station. Bank executive Mr Daraius Bilimoria of Milson’s Point asked Soundblock Solutions to find a way to reduce the noise levels in the apartment.

"The apartment is located above a busy road with heavy traffic most of the day. We are also close to the railway station which adds to the noise. We were concerned about the problem and asked Soundblock Solutions for a quote.
We were very happy with the friendly service we received. The noise has been reduced by about 60 to 70 per cent."

Music School

Required soundproofing between rooms so that there is no distracting noise from other instruments.

Built adjoining soundproof rooms using Barrierboard and acoustic doors.

"Soundblock Solutions recently completed construction of my music school in suburban Sydney. Not only is Sam Fletcher courteous and punctual – two invaluable qualities when there’s building work to be done – but he listens and understands. The music school required soundproofing between rooms so that there is no distracting noise from other instruments.  Barrierboard is an extremely good insulating material and combined with good quality doors with all-round seals, has provided effective, sound deadening partitioning.   The work has been done to a high standard and was completed at exactly the time quoted – to meet my deadline. Last week an acoustic consultant attended the music school and found that there was negligible sound between rooms. I am very pleased with the construction provided by Soundblock Solutions and would be happy to speak to any prospective customers and would welcome anyone who would like to come and inspect the application of the materials used."

Music Studio

Required soundproofing between rooms.

Installed Barrierboard and an acoustic door.

"We ran a class in both the front and back rooms last night.  We had a new teacher and when I asked her how the noise from the back room was she didn't even know we had a class on out there.  Thanks for the solution!  The wall is so well finished you can't even tell that it is new."

Unwanted noise from neighbouring properties

Installed Soundblock magnetic window panels and Barrierboard to the walls

"I would like to send you a little note of thanks for the tremendous work you have done in soundproofing two of my bedrooms at 54 Yurong Street. Firstly, your inspection and quote were professionally done and the price was very competitive. The installation of the sound proofing was exactly as you defined it and it has already proven to be totally effective in limiting the noise from the adjoining terrace.  The double glazing of the window closest to the neighbour's house has also proven very effective and it is really simple to use and effective. I particularly like the ability for the sound proofing panel to be removed easily to allow full access to the normal window. Finally, your crew did a great job in completing the repainting of the two bedrooms involved in the sound proofing. The two coats were very effective and the rooms are now really bright and fresh. I must make a point of thanking you for a very professional job that was really well done. I would have no problem recommending your company to others who have similar problems with unwanted sound from neighbouring properties. Thank you also for your close management of our job. It was very reassuring to have someone taking a proper management role in ensuring the job was completed satisfactorily"

Unwanted noise from neighbouring properties

Installed soundproof panels to windows

"I am writing to thank you for the fantastic job you completed on the sound proofing of the windows of my unit.

Your recommendation for the best solution has turned out perfectly and I really appreciated your prompt, efficient and honest service. I was truly amazed that I did not have to do any clean up after you left. I will be recommending your company to any of my friends or collegues or anyone with noise disturbance."

Apartment Ceiling

Audible walking steps to ceiling from the neighbours kitchen floor which was directly above bedroom

Installed Tontine Insulation to the ceiling which included double gyprock

"This is to confirm that I have installed a false ceiling by Soundblock Solutions to my Unit at Edgecliff. Previous to the insulation treatment I was experiencing walking steps to my ceiling from the neighbours kitchen floor which was directly above my bedroom. Since Soundblock Solutions installe Tontine Insulation of the ceiling which included double gyprock (a type of insulation in between the gyprock) etc. I have been extremely happy with the result. The workmen (Carlos, etc) were very professional and the job looks good. I would recommend to anyone in the same position to do likewise."

Traffic noise from busy road and disturbance by people on street

Installed Soundblock windows

"As new first home owners who had spent more than the budget on renovation, we were understandably cautious when it came to expenditure of extra funds on noise solutions for the bedroom. If we had known what a difference it would make, we would have done it months earlier without hesitation! We were just not sure that we would get the results we expected, but we honestly haven’t looked back… Moving into an apartment on busy Edgecliff Road meant that often we couldn’t sleep through the night because of traffic noise or were woken early on weekends by people conversing on the footpath. Our 50 year old windows didn’t provide much insulation or a barrier for noise.
Having installed the Soundblock Solution window, we have found that the noise has been minimised as much as possible (without bricking in the entire window) and that the room is less dusty, warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Recently we accidentally left the Soundblock internal window open during the night, while the external one was closed and had a very disturbed sleep. In the morning we discovered why the room was so cold and why we had been hearing the road once again all night. Sleep is a basic need and sleep deprivation is so unnecessary, when for a relatively small price, you can fix the problem. We would like to thank you for your professional, prompt, friendly service and happily recommend Soundblock Solutions to anyone interested."
