Soundproofing Greenpoint
Greenpoint is frame row houses on the inland streets, new waterfront towers along the East River, and a truck route down McGuinness Boulevard that never quiets down. Industrial neighbours are still part of the picture here.
What we are called for in Greenpoint
McGuinness Boulevard and BQE traffic
McGuinness is a truck route feeding the Pulaski Bridge and the expressway. Heavy vehicle noise is low frequency and comes with genuine vibration on the closest streets.
Frame house party walls
Wood frame row houses often share walls built on a single stud line. Sound passes through the framing as well as the surface, so adding mass to one face changes very little.
New waterfront tower slabs
The new buildings are concrete framed, and impact noise from the unit above is the standard complaint. It is treated from below by decoupling the ceiling, not by insulating it.
Working in Greenpoint buildings
Greenpoint splits between small private buildings where the owner decides on the spot and new towers with a managing agent and an alteration process. We work both ways and prepare whichever documentation the building actually needs.

Soundproofing services in Greenpoint
As a soundproofing contractor Greenpoint Brooklyn owners call in, the first question is always which structure we are dealing with, because a frame row house and a waterfront tower need opposite builds. Residential soundproofing Greenpoint houses need is a decoupled wall, and apartment soundproofing Greenpoint tower residents need is an isolated ceiling.
Commercial soundproofing Greenpoint businesses need remains partly industrial here, with workshops and food production close to housing. Where a converted space sounds hard and reverberant, acoustic treatment Greenpoint rooms need is the right answer and no isolation work is justified.
The noise reduction Greenpoint residents get against truck traffic depends on separating the audible part from the genuinely vibrational part, and we test that before quoting. As a soundproofing company Greenpoint owners and agents can both work with, the survey and written plan are free.
