Noise Reduction & Soundproofing for Doors
When it comes to blocking sound from entering or exiting a space, it's important to not only soundproof the door but to also make the room as airtight as possible – remember: anywhere air can go, sound can also go. Simply closing the door won't get the job done, either, since doors are not airtight (they're typically hollow and are surrounded by small gaps that allow sound to pass directly in and out of a space).
Tips For Door Soundproofing
- Seal door crevasses/seams
- Make sure seals are airtight (If air can get through so can sound)
- Add mass to doors to reduce sound transfer
- Adding isolé® reduces sound pressure levels in the room as well as reducing sound transfer
Soundproofing Solutions for Doors
- Audimute isolé Sound Barrier Sheets - The ultimate solution for door soundproofing, Audimute's isolé is a dual functioning alternative to traditional Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets, offering even better acoustic results. Isolé is one of the only multi-functioning acoustic products on the market. It contains the same sound absorption properties as regular Audimute sheets while adding in a sound barrier. It is a portable solution designed to absorb mid & high frequencies while blocking out low frequencies.
- Acoustic Door Seal Kit - We also recommend using the Audimute Acoustic Door Seal Kit to keep sound from entering or exiting a room via the spaces around a door. The one-sided, self-adhesive Acoustic Door Seal is made of strong, resilient foam that adheres to the inside of door frames and easily compresses. The Acoustic Door Sweep is a one-sided, self-adhesive roll of tape that is also made of strong, resilient foam. It is for soundproofing gaps at the bottom of a door.
