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.

and what happens with insulation boards around electrical outlets and possibly light switches?
That’s not a problem. There are spacers or extensions for switches and outlets. You can find them at any hardware store. The cables need to be long enough, but theoretically, they can also be extended if necessary.

I wanted to point out that, ideally, the soundproofing wall should not have any direct contact with the existing wall. Leave an air gap of 2-3 cm (1 inch) to avoid creating a sound bridge.
