Soundproofing Sunnyside
Sunnyside is the elevated 7 above Queens Boulevard, the 1920s row housing of Sunnyside Gardens, and pre-war courtyard co-op buildings on the surrounding streets. The rail yard sits along the western edge.
What we are called for in Sunnyside
Elevated 7 train and Queens Boulevard
The elevated structure and the boulevard together produce near continuous noise on the avenue frontage, and the structure is close enough to upper floors to be heard through the wall as well as the window.
Pre-war co-op floors
The courtyard buildings have wood joist floors and often a board rule about floor coverings that does not resolve the complaint on its own.
Sunnyside Gardens row housing
The planned row housing shares party walls and the original construction is modest, so conversation and television carry between houses.
Working in Sunnyside buildings
Co-op buildings here have alteration procedures and defined working hours, and Sunnyside Gardens sits in a historic district where exterior changes are restricted. We prepare the documentation for the first and keep the work internal for the second.

Soundproofing services in Sunnyside
As a soundproofing contractor Sunnyside Queens residents call in, the recurring question is why the building’s carpet rule has not settled anything. Apartment soundproofing Sunnyside co-ops need is an isolated ceiling, and residential soundproofing Sunnyside Gardens owners need is a decoupled party wall instead.
Commercial soundproofing Sunnyside businesses need is mostly restaurants and shops under apartments along Queens Boulevard and Greenpoint Avenue. Where a room is reverberant rather than exposed to a neighbour, acoustic treatment Sunnyside spaces need resolves it on its own.
The noise reduction Sunnyside residents get from treating the right path is substantial, and from treating the wrong one is close to nothing, which is why the assessment matters. As a soundproofing company Sunnyside boards have approved before, we provide the full alteration package.
