Soundproofing Long Island City
Long Island City is the fastest built neighbourhood in the city: concrete towers around Court Square and Hunters Point, the 7, E and M beneath them, and the Queensboro Bridge and Jackson Avenue carrying traffic through the middle.
What we are called for in Long Island City
Tower slab impact noise
Almost every building here is concrete framed and recently built. Footsteps, dropped objects and rolling chairs from above come through the slab, and that is the dominant complaint in the neighbourhood.
Mechanical, elevator and amenity noise
New towers put plant, elevators and amenity floors inside the building envelope. Units next to them receive structure borne noise, which needs decoupling on the affected side.
Bridge and avenue traffic
Jackson Avenue, Queens Plaza and the bridge approach carry traffic continuously, and the curtain wall glazing in these buildings is light.
Working in Long Island City buildings
LIC buildings are managed, modern and consistent, which makes the work predictable: the assembly is known before we arrive and the variable is the building’s alteration process. We prepare that package and book freight elevator time in advance.

Soundproofing services in Long Island City
As a soundproofing contractor Long Island City residents call in, the enquiry is nearly always footsteps through a new concrete slab. Apartment soundproofing Long Island City buildings need is an isolated ceiling, and residential soundproofing Long Island City owners ask for beyond that is usually the facade.
Commercial soundproofing Long Island City businesses need covers offices, studios and restaurants in the same towers and in the surviving industrial buildings. Where a hard finished apartment or office is simply loud inside itself, acoustic treatment Long Island City spaces need is the right and much smaller job.
The noise reduction Long Island City owners get is highly predictable, because the construction barely varies from one building to the next. As a soundproofing company Long Island City managing agents approve routinely, we supply the scope, insurance and elevator schedule up front.
