ᐅ Sound Insulation – House Very Noisy Between Rooms!

Hello everyone,

we have purchased a house built in 1996, constructed with solid building methods. However, the upper floor is incredibly noisy. My daughter’s room is right next to our bedroom. She has a large gable in her room. When she simply plugs in a charging cable, it sounds as if it is happening in our bedroom. If she talks quietly, we can hear every single word. What can I do? What needs to be checked, and who or what type of company is the right contact for this? It is really very loud and driving us crazy.

Isover offers special soundproofing panels.

ISOVER Akustic SSP 2 sound-absorbing panel

Does anyone here have any experience with these?

Unfortunately, I have to tell you that in a solid masonry house with hollow bricks, this is normal up to a certain extent. Every wall contains many cavities...

That’s why this is about "damage control" ...

We (unfortunately) have a similar issue (though not as severe). Adding a partition wall could be an option. If possible, try rearranging heavy furniture (placing it against the walls) and use sound-absorbing materials, such as heavy curtains on the windows.

Otherwise, consult experts. You might also consider swapping rooms. Of course, this only helps if there is a room serving as a “sound buffer” in between.

Is it possible that both rooms share the same gable?
