Soundproofing Williamsburg

Williamsburg is converted industrial lofts, new glass towers along the waterfront, and a nightlife strip running through the middle of it. The BQE cuts across the neighbourhood and the J, M and Z run on elevated structure above Broadway.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in Williamsburg

Nightlife and rooftop bars

Bars, venues and rooftop terraces operate late, and the newer buildings have large, lightly specified windows. The facade is the only barrier and it is usually the weakest part of the apartment.

BQE and elevated trains

The expressway produces continuous noise and the elevated structure produces repeated events. Elevated trains also radiate from the steel itself, not only from the wheels on the rail.

Loft and new-build party walls

Converted lofts have later partitions that often stop below the deck, while fast-built new apartments have lightweight party walls where outlet boxes and service penetrations line up back to back.

Working in Williamsburg buildings

Williamsburg buildings are mostly condominiums or rentals with a managing agent rather than a co-op board, which makes approval quicker. We still supply the scope, insurance certificates and freight elevator schedule, and we work inside the permitted hours.

Soundproofing services in Williamsburg

As a soundproofing contractor Williamsburg Brooklyn residents call in, two complaints dominate: the bar outside and the neighbour through a wall that was built too thin. Apartment soundproofing Williamsburg buildings need therefore starts with glazing and with sealing the penetrations, and residential soundproofing Williamsburg loft owners need is a deck and partition problem.

Commercial soundproofing Williamsburg businesses need is substantial here, because venues, restaurants and rooftop terraces operate directly beneath and beside apartments. Where a restaurant or loft is simply too loud inside itself, acoustic treatment Williamsburg spaces need is the correct and much cheaper measure.

The noise reduction Williamsburg residents get from half a day of sealing work is often larger than from any single product, which is why we survey before recommending anything. As a soundproofing company Williamsburg managing agents can schedule quickly, assessments are free and usually within the week.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in Williamsburg

View All FAQs →
Can rooftop bar noise be reduced in my apartment? +
Yes, through the glazing, and the gain is usually large because these windows start from a low specification. Music bass is the part that persists, and we say so before quoting rather than after.
Our new building has thin walls. Is that fixable? +
Usually yes, and often cheaply. Back to back outlet boxes and unsealed service penetrations account for a surprising share of the problem, and sealing them is a half day job.
Does elevated train noise come through the walls or the windows? +
Mostly the windows, with a structure borne component if the building is very close to the structure. We check both, so you are not paying to treat the wrong one.
