When does soundproofing make sense?

Upstairs / footfall

Footsteps, chairs, toys — impact noise via the floor structure. Often solved with a ceiling or (better) a floor at the neighbours’.

Party wall

TV, conversation, music through the wall. Airborne noise: mass + decoupled stud wall.

Street / tram / terrace

Noise via windows, gaps and doors. Glazing and sealing first; walls only if needed.

FAQ

Soundproofing: your questions answered

Airborne noise travels through air (speech, TV). Impact noise is vibration in the structure (footsteps). Mass helps against airborne noise; decoupling helps against impact. That is why we diagnose the type first.
A free-standing stud wall with mineral wool and double plasterboard typically gains 10 to 15 dB. Space loss is 5 to 10 cm.
Most Amsterdam HOA rules require Ico ≥ +10 dB for hard floor finishes. We deliver a floor build-up that demonstrably meets that requirement, including documentation for the board.
No. ISDE covers thermal insulation measures (roof, floor, cavity, façade, glass). You pay for soundproofing yourself — so a targeted diagnosis matters, so you do not invest in the wrong construction.
Ideally a floating screed at the upstairs neighbours’. From your home, a dropped or floating ceiling is the most requested solution. See ceiling soundproofing.
