Soundproofing Tribeca

Tribeca is converted warehouse lofts and new luxury towers, with the Holland Tunnel approach and the West Side Highway on two sides of it. Home cinemas and screening rooms are a larger part of our work here than anywhere else in the city.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in Tribeca

Holland Tunnel approach traffic

Traffic queueing for the tunnel on Canal and the surrounding streets produces continuous low frequency noise and horn noise, and it reaches high floors as readily as low ones.

Loft floors and new tower slabs

The converted buildings have heavy timber or concrete on steel decks; the new towers are concrete framed. Both carry impact noise well, and both are normally treated from below with an isolated ceiling.

Screening rooms and media rooms

Large apartments here often include a cinema or listening room. Keeping low frequency energy inside that room is a structural problem rather than a furnishing one.

Working in Tribeca buildings

New Tribeca towers have a managing agent, a defined alteration process and a freight elevator schedule; the converted lofts have a board and a landmark constraint. We work with both, and we prepare the filing and insurance package as part of the project.

Soundproofing services in Tribeca

As a soundproofing contractor Tribeca residents call in, the work ranges from facade upgrades against tunnel traffic to full room-in-room construction. Apartment soundproofing Tribeca buildings need is usually an isolated ceiling, while studio soundproofing Tribeca owners ask for is a cinema or listening room that has to contain bass.

Commercial soundproofing Tribeca businesses need covers offices, restaurants and production space in the same converted buildings as apartments. Where a screening room is already isolated but sounds wrong inside, acoustic treatment Tribeca spaces need is the remaining and much smaller step.

The noise reduction Tribeca clients get on a high floor surprises people, because height offers no screening from the tunnel approach. As a soundproofing company Tribeca boards and agents have worked with, we provide the alteration documentation and schedule deliveries around freight elevator hours.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in Tribeca

View All FAQs →
Can a home cinema be built so the neighbours hear nothing? +
Nothing is a strong word, but a properly decoupled room with a sealed solid door and treated penetrations gets very close. Bass is what escapes, and bass needs construction rather than panels.
Is tunnel traffic noise fixable on a high floor? +
Yes, and high floors are often worse than people expect because nothing screens them. Upgraded and properly sealed glazing is the main measure.
Do you handle the alteration filing? +
We prepare the scope, the drawings where they are needed, and the insurance documentation. Where a licensed filing is required we coordinate with the building’s expediter or architect.
