Soundproofing Bayonne NJ

Bayonne is a peninsula between Newark Bay and New York Harbour, with the container terminal at one end and the Bayonne Bridge at the other. Most of the housing is attached two-family frame construction on a tight grid, and Route 440 runs through the middle of it.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in Bayonne

Port and Route 440 truck traffic

Container traffic to and from the terminal uses Route 440 and the local approach roads at all hours. Heavy vehicle noise is low frequency and reaches the window line with nothing in the way.

Two-family frame houses

The standard Bayonne house has one unit above the other, separated by original joists and a plaster ceiling. Footsteps from the upper unit are the single most common complaint we get in the city.

Light rail and bridge approach

Properties near the Hudson Bergen light rail or the bridge approach get repeated passing noise rather than a constant level, and that is more noticeable even when it measures lower.

Why Bayonne

Bayonne houses are narrow and ceiling heights are limited, so an isolated ceiling has to be designed to lose as little headroom as possible. We use clip and channel systems that take about two inches rather than the deeper assemblies used in new construction.

Soundproofing services Bayonne NJ

As a soundproofing contractor Bayonne NJ owners call directly, the job we are asked for most is the ceiling between the two units of a two-family house. Residential soundproofing Bayonne landlords and owner occupiers need is usually that one assembly, and apartment soundproofing Bayonne tenants ask about is the same work seen from the lower unit.

Commercial soundproofing Bayonne businesses need shows up along Broadway and Route 440, where retail and food units sit beneath apartments. Where the complaint is a room that sounds hard and echoing, acoustic treatment Bayonne spaces need is the right answer and does not require any structural work.

The noise reduction Bayonne property owners get is limited mainly by headroom, which is why the assembly matters so much here. As a soundproofing company Bayonne clients can reach in half an hour from Garfield, we survey free of charge and set out the expected result in writing first.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in Bayonne

View All FAQs →
How much ceiling height will I lose? +
About two inches with a clip and channel system, including the double layer of board. If the room is already low we can look at treating the floor above instead, which costs no height in the room below.
Will new windows help with the truck noise? +
Significantly, provided the frame perimeter is sealed properly. A good laminated unit badly sealed performs worse than a modest unit installed well, and that is where most disappointment comes from.
Do you cover the whole of Bayonne? +
Yes, the entire city. We are about thirty minutes away in Garfield, so site visits are usually within a couple of days of your call.
