The 10 Best Soundproofing Materials for 2025

As an acoustic specialist, I work with people all the time who are searching for soundproofing solutions that will work on various projects. As a company, we’ve helped people and businesses all over the spectrum create soundproof rooms, ranging from residences and conference rooms to restaurants and auditoriums. With the right products and expertise, there’s no room that can’t be soundproofed.

Knowing which products to use can be challenging. That’s why I created this comprehensive list of the best soundproofing products in 2025.

Before we dive into the list, I also want to talk about the differences between soundproofing and sound absorption because there seems to be some confusion. I have so many customers who seem to think they are the same thing, but they aren’t. In fact, they involve very different processes, at least from a technical standpoint.

Soundproofing is when you use material to block sound from entering or exiting a room. You’ll often find soundproofing materials in recording studios, basements, and conference rooms.

Sound absorption is when you use materials to absorb sound created inside a room in order to create a better-sounding environment. You’ll often find sound-absorbing materials in restaurants, auditoriums, and large gathering areas.

Now that we’ve discussed the difference between soundproofing and sound absorption, it’s time to jump into my comprehensive master list of the best soundproofing materials available in 2025. Let’s dive in!

When you want to soundproof a room, you should start with the walls. Here are several soundproofing materials you can use to soundproof walls:

Next, I wanted to discuss products specifically designed to soundproof ceilings. Ceilings are responsible for much more noise transmission than people think. So, here are the top soundproofing materials we offer for ceilings:

Floors are another area responsible for a lot of sound leakage, especially for offices, apartments, and homes with multiple levels. That’s why we offer an acoustic floor underlayment ideal for blocking sound.

Windows are another area responsible for sound transmission and unwanted noise. Unfortunately, the truth is that most single- and double-paned windows just aren’t thick enough to provide soundproofing. That’s why we offer acoustic solutions designed to go over existing windows.

So many of my customers are surprised when I tell them that if they want to soundproof their rooms completely, they have to soundproof everything, including their doors. Fortunately, there are some go-to products and materials we offer that make soundproofing your doors super easy.
