Soundproofing Weehawken NJ

Weehawken sits above the Lincoln Tunnel helix, between the Port Imperial waterfront and the Palisades ridge. New condominium towers along the river and older frame two-family houses on Boulevard East have completely different noise problems, and both of them are busy at four in the morning.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in Weehawken

Lincoln Tunnel approach traffic

The helix and its ramps carry traffic around the clock. It arrives as continuous low frequency rumble, which is the hardest part of the spectrum to block, so glazing and facade sealing do most of the work.

Waterfront tower structure

Port Imperial buildings are concrete framed. Footsteps and furniture movement pass down through the slab with very little loss, so the answer is an isolated ceiling rather than more insulation above the plasterboard.

Two-family houses on the hillside

Older frame houses on and below Boulevard East were split into two and three units. The floor between them is usually original joists with nothing resilient in it, and voices carry as easily as footsteps.

Why Weehawken

Half our Weehawken work is in buildings with a management office and half is in private two-family houses. For the towers we prepare the insurance certificates and service elevator schedule the managing agent asks for; for the houses we work one room at a time so the unit stays liveable.

Soundproofing services Weehawken NJ

We work as a soundproofing contractor Weehawken NJ residents reach directly, with no middleman between the assessment and the crew that does the work. The two halves of the town need different answers: residential soundproofing Weehawken owners want for a bedroom facing the helix, and apartment soundproofing Weehawken tower residents need for footsteps coming down through a concrete slab.

Commercial soundproofing Weehawken businesses ask for is mostly along the waterfront and Park Avenue, where offices and restaurants sit under or beside apartments. Where the complaint is echo and intelligibility inside a room rather than noise arriving from outside it, acoustic treatment Weehawken spaces need is the correct answer and costs a fraction of isolation work.

Whichever it turns out to be, the noise reduction Weehawken property owners get depends on treating the path the sound actually takes rather than the surface it arrives at. As a soundproofing company Weehawken clients can usually see on site within a couple of days, we start with a free assessment and give you a written plan before anything is quoted.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in Weehawken

View All FAQs →
Can tunnel traffic noise be reduced in a Boulevard East apartment? +
It can be reduced substantially, though not removed. Traffic noise is mostly low frequency and enters through the windows first, so a secondary glazing layer or a laminated replacement unit with a properly sealed perimeter gives the largest single improvement.
We hear the neighbours above us in a Port Imperial building. What works? +
A ceiling decoupled from the slab on isolation clips. Adding insulation inside the existing ceiling void alone does very little, because the noise is travelling through the concrete rather than through the air.
Do you work in Weehawken two-family houses? +
Yes, that is a large part of our work here. The usual job is the floor and ceiling assembly between the two units, done from the lower unit so the upstairs floor finish stays intact.
