Soundproofing Downtown Brooklyn

Downtown Brooklyn is new high-rise rental and condominium towers above a transport interchange, with Flatbush Avenue Extension running through it and more subway lines converging here than anywhere outside Manhattan.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in Downtown Brooklyn

Subway noise through the structure

With multiple lines beneath the area, subway noise arrives as structure borne rumble rather than through the windows. Decoupling is the only treatment that addresses it.

Flatbush Avenue traffic and sirens

The avenue carries buses, traffic and emergency vehicles continuously. Modern curtain wall glazing is light, and sirens cut through it easily.

Building plant and amenity floors

New towers concentrate plant, gyms and amenity space inside the building, and the units beside or above them receive noise that a concrete slab carries very efficiently.

Working in Downtown Brooklyn buildings

These are managed buildings with alteration procedures, insurance requirements, defined working hours and freight elevator booking. The construction is modern and consistent, so once the approval is in place the work itself is predictable.

Soundproofing services in Downtown Brooklyn

As a soundproofing contractor Downtown Brooklyn residents and tenants call in, the distinguishing problem is how much arrives through the structure rather than through the glass. Apartment soundproofing Downtown Brooklyn towers need therefore often means a decoupled wall or ceiling, and residential soundproofing Downtown Brooklyn owners ask for is rarely about party walls at all.

Commercial soundproofing Downtown Brooklyn businesses need covers offices and institutional space in the same towers, and office soundproofing Downtown Brooklyn tenants request is the familiar question of partitions reaching the slab. Where an open plan floor is unintelligible, acoustic treatment Downtown Brooklyn spaces need resolves it alone.

The noise reduction Downtown Brooklyn residents get depends on measuring which path dominates, because glazing work will not touch subway rumble and decoupling will not help with sirens. As a soundproofing company Downtown Brooklyn managing agents can approve quickly, we provide the full alteration package.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in Downtown Brooklyn

View All FAQs →
Is subway rumble fixable? +
Reducible, yes. Because it arrives through the structure the treatment is a decoupled wall or ceiling rather than glazing. We measure first, since in some units the dominant path is actually the facade.
Can glazing be improved in a new tower? +
Usually. Secondary glazing on the inside of the existing unit is the common route, because replacing a curtain wall unit is normally not permitted by the building.
We are next to the amenity floor. What helps? +
An isolated wall or ceiling on the affected side. Where the noise is gym impact, the lasting fix is a resilient floor in the gym, and we will say so even though that is not work inside your apartment.
