Isolated Walls

There are two distinct areas of concern when addressing noise control for walls. Stopping noise from passing through to the adjacent side requires products that either add mass to the wall or damp or isolate gypsum board. The other set of products prevent noise vibration in a wall from traveling up or down and breaking out. Controlling noise flanking is paramount when using noise control floor and ceiling products with walls that are directly attached to nonisolated structure.
