Soundproofing West New York NJ

West New York is one of the most densely built municipalities in the country. Almost everything is attached: brick and frame walk-ups on the numbered streets, apartments directly above the shops on Bergenline Avenue, and party walls with no gap at all.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in West New York

Party walls between attached buildings

Attached buildings often share a single masonry wall with joists pocketed into it from both sides. Sound travels through the masonry and through the framing at the same time, which is why treating the wall surface alone disappoints.

Apartments above retail

Bergenline Avenue has shops, restaurants and salons under apartments. Extraction fans, compressors and music transmit up through the structure, and the floor above a commercial unit is usually the thinnest assembly in the building.

Bus and street noise on Kennedy Boulevard

Bus routes on Kennedy Boulevard and Bergenline put traffic noise right at the window line, with no setback to lose any of it before it arrives.

Why West New York

Almost every West New York job has a shared wall or a commercial unit on the other side of it, which makes the diagnosis matter more than the product. We establish whether the path is airborne, impact or structure borne before specifying anything, because the three need different builds.

Soundproofing services West New York NJ

We are a soundproofing contractor West New York NJ owners and tenants call when a shared wall has become unliveable. Residential soundproofing West New York buildings need is almost always a party wall or the floor over a store, and apartment soundproofing West New York residents ask for has to be designed for a building with no spare inches anywhere.

Commercial soundproofing West New York businesses need runs the other direction: restaurants and salons on Bergenline that have to keep their plant and music out of the apartments above. Where a room simply sounds bad rather than noisy, acoustic treatment West New York spaces need is the cheaper and correct answer.

The noise reduction West New York property owners get depends on accepting that a decoupled assembly needs a gap, however tight the building is. As a soundproofing company West New York clients can reach within the week, we measure, explain the trade off in room width, and put the expected result in writing before you commit.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in West New York

View All FAQs →
Can anything be done about a shared wall with the next building? +
Yes. A new independent stud wall built clear of the existing masonry, insulated and double boarded, is the treatment that works. It costs a few inches of room width, and there is no version of this that performs without that gap.
The restaurant below us runs fans all evening. Is that fixable? +
Usually, and often more cheaply than expected, because fan noise is frequently travelling through one or two specific contact points. We trace it first; isolating the equipment mounting sometimes solves most of it.
How long does a party wall take? +
A single room wall is normally one to two days including making good. Larger multi room jobs are sequenced so you keep at least one usable room at all times.
