Assess Your Studio Space


Before diving into soundproofing, it's essential to assess your studio space. Identify potential sources of noise, evaluate the existing construction, and look for gaps, cracks, and openings where sound can leak. Pay attention to walls, floors, ceilings, doors, and windows, as these are common areas that allow noise to enter or escape.


Soundproof Your Walls


One of the first areas to address when soundproofing your recording studio is the walls. Soundproofing your home studio requires isolated walls (either two separate walls or use of clips and hat channel). SoundAway offers various products that effectively reduce sound transmission. For enhanced acoustics, consider using acoustic panels or studio quality foam. SoundAway's foam sheets are designed to absorb sound waves and reduce reverberation. They can be easily cut and installed on walls, absorbing excess sound and improving the studio's acoustics. See our selection today.


Seal Gaps and Cracks


To achieve maximum soundproofing, it is crucial to seal any gaps or cracks in the walls, floor, and ceiling. SoundAway's soundproofing sealant and tapes are ideal for this purpose. The sealant can be used to fill gaps between walls and windows, while the tapes can be installed around door frames and other areas prone to sound leakage. These soundproofing products effectively prevent noise from seeping in or out, improving sound isolation in your studio. Check out our soundproof doors and door seals today.


Enhance Floor Soundproofing


To minimize vibrations and impact noise, proper floor soundproofing is essential. SoundAway offers floor underlayment products made from soundproofing materials that effectively isolate sounds. These soundproof underlays can be placed beneath the flooring, reducing vibrations and footsteps' impact noise. They come in different thicknesses and densities, allowing you to choose the most suitable option for your studio's flooring type.

Soundproof Doors and Windows


Doors and windows are notorious sound leakage points that must be addressed in your home recording studio. SoundAway provides effective solutions for soundproofing doors and windows. Door seal kits provide comprehensive soundproofing for doors. These kits effectively block sound transmission through gaps and cracks, creating a more soundproof environment.


For windows, consider using soundproof windows made from high-quality materials. These windows are amazing at reducing noise infiltration from outside. Our soundproof windows are specifically designed to absorb and block sound waves, enhancing the overall soundproofing of your home recording studio.


Consider Soundproofing the Ceiling


To minimize sound reflections and echoes, soundproofing the ceiling is crucial. SoundAway provides a range of soundproof ceiling products, including ceiling panels, to improve sound absorption and create a more controlled environment. These ceiling sound panels can be easily installed on the ceiling, reducing noise reflections and creating balanced acoustics in your home studio.
