Soundproofing Forest Hills

Forest Hills is pre-war Tudor buildings and large 1950s and 60s co-op blocks along Queens Boulevard, with the Gardens area of single houses behind them and the E, F and Long Island Rail Road at 71st Avenue.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in Forest Hills

Co-op floors and carpet rules

The post-war co-op blocks have concrete or thinly topped floors and a carpet rule that is enforced but rarely sufficient. Impact noise from above remains the main complaint.

Queens Boulevard traffic

The boulevard is wide and busy, and the buildings facing it often have original or lightly specified windows.

Rail line and aircraft

The rail road and subway at 71st Avenue add passing noise, and parts of the area sit under an approach path.

Working in Forest Hills buildings

Almost everything here goes through a co-op board, and boards in Forest Hills tend to be specific about hours, protection and insurance. We provide the alteration package, work inside the permitted window, and leave common areas as we found them.

Soundproofing services in Forest Hills

As a soundproofing contractor Forest Hills residents call in, the conversation usually starts with a carpet rule that has not worked. Apartment soundproofing Forest Hills co-ops need is an isolated ceiling, and residential soundproofing Forest Hills Gardens owners need is a different build for a detached house.

Commercial soundproofing Forest Hills businesses need is mainly medical and professional offices around Austin Street and Queens Boulevard, where speech privacy is the requirement. Where a large pre-war room echoes, acoustic treatment Forest Hills apartments need handles it without structural work.

The noise reduction Forest Hills owners get depends on the board approving the work, so we prepare that package before anything else. As a soundproofing company Forest Hills managing agents have dealt with, we keep strictly to permitted hours and protection requirements.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in Forest Hills

View All FAQs →

The carpet rule has not fixed it. What will? +

An isolated ceiling in your apartment. Carpet addresses part of the high frequency content, while the impact energy that travels through the structure needs the ceiling decoupled.

Will the board approve ceiling work? +

In most Forest Hills buildings yes, with the standard alteration package. We prepare the scope, insurance certificates and schedule the managing agent will ask for.

Can Queens Boulevard noise be reduced? +

Significantly, through glazing and perimeter sealing. Where the window cannot be replaced, an interior insert gives much of the same benefit.
