Achieved significant noise reduction in a street-facing Toronto master bedroom using advanced soundproof drywall techniques, enhancing comfort and privacy.
Challenge
The primary challenge was achieving a high STC 60 rating in a street-facing Toronto master bedroom without extensive structural modifications. Integrating multiple soundproofing layers into an existing wall cavity required precise planning and minimal disruption to the occupied residence, ensuring effective noise mitigation.
Solution
Our solution involved a multi-layered approach, specifically utilizing QuietRock 545 panels combined with Green Glue viscoelastic compound. Installation included resilient channels to decouple the drywall from the existing studs, crucial for achieving an STC 60 sound transmission class.
Result
The project, completed in just 3 days, dramatically reduced external street noise, improving the bedroom's acoustic comfort and privacy. Post-installation tests confirmed an STC rating close to the target, significantly cutting perceived noise by over 75% for the homeowner.
“We were truly impressed with how quickly the team completed the soundproofing. The difference from the street noise is night and day; sleeping is so much better now. I appreciate that they suggested the QuietRock 545 solution for our specific needs.”
