Constructing a Soundproof Wall
This video shows a time lapse of a soundproof wall that was built to prevent sound from traveling out of a manufacturing space into adjacent offices. A system of materials was used to accomplish the goals for this project.

AudioSeal® Sound Barrier is a mass loaded vinyl (mlv) sound barrier used to reduce the amount of airborne sound from transmitting through walls, floors and ceilings. It can be added to various construction assemblies to increase STC (Sound Transmission Loss) of the structure. It is a limp-mass material made of high-temperature fused vinyl and no lead fillers. Audioseal® Sound Barrier is very dense, weighing one to two pounds per square foot. AudioSeal® is commonly used in new construction and also to correct noise problems in existing spaces.
Audioseal® Sound Barrier is a non-reinforced version for wall and ceiling installations. AudioSeal® is tear resistant, yet easy to cut with a utility knife. Its available in 48″ or 54″ widths and various lengths to provide the best utilization for your project.
Usually installed direct to the studs, vinyl sound barrier may also be installed between layers of drywall. Often, the mass loaded barrier is used in combination with other materials to create a soundproof system. Combining it with layers of sheet rock with Green Glue and resilient clips and channels will improve the sound transmission loss of the complete assembly. Reading about Soundproofing a Wall and Soundproofing a Garage may provide you with further insight on the uses of mass loaded vinyl in certain construction assemblies.

All I can say is, it is heavy. I'm an amateur, first time working with this. Building a personal drum / recording studio. Learning as I go. The product is what it says. Hoping it works as I intended.
Product was delivered timely and as described. We installed on wooden fence to flatten dog barking. I have not heard from my neighbors so hopefully it has helped.
great product for soundproofing
High material. Arrived in excellent condition.
Great product that works! Easy to install. A 8ft high x 12 ft wide wall took only two men and less than a day to hang and cover with drywall. Now the noise of a 4 lane highway only 30 ft from the house is minimized to the point of not even noticing any vehicular sounds.
excellent … liked the size option
Great stuff!!!
this stuff is heavy. takes a little man handling to get it in place. We used it on the ceiling in the theater to help deaden the sound transmission to the HVAC ducts and bedrooms above.
this is part of system, so still in the building phase of the theater, hard to tell if this helps at this stage, but figured better safe than sorry. it is relatively inexpensive to include during building, but would be very costly to try to add after the fact. so I consider this cheap insurance.
Works ok for underpayment material for carpeting when not doing new construction.
We are using this product as a substitute for another acoustical treatment. Seems to work well for our application.
great product!
Didn't do the job that was promised
Does what is advertised.
GOOD PRODUCT BUT EXPENSIVE
THANK YOU
Did what it was supposed to. We fit it into inset panel doors to reduce sound transmission from room to room. Good results.
Perfect
Used to insulate the space where my air handler is. It is much quieter since I have installed the sound barrier.
Excellent material to sound proof a house or a cinema room

We purchased this product for soundproofing office walls. (was specified by an architect)
Worked well in ceiling application.
The only reason I gave four stars is the material is hard to work with. No fault to the design, it's just so heavy and flexible, getting it on a wall and especially the ceiling is very hard.
Arrived as expected and in perfect shape. Product is as described.
Used for soundproofing studio. Works wonderfully.
👍👍👍👍
very good sound barrier.
Does a great job!
Weighted vinyl is very impressive. Yes it is heavy but what would someone expect from a sound proofing tool/product. Easy to work with and very strong. I’m installing it in the walls and ceiling of my studio. Highly recommended. When properly applied, this is top notch, very professional sound controlling product.
To soundproof my basement
Music room sound proofing.
We use this inside trucks to keep outside noses out. Recommend this to anyone that needs to keep noise out and the quiet in.
I have a 5×8 Mobil grooming trailer with a generator. We covered the inside walls and ceiling then useded pink foam insulation from Home Depot to fill in space from vibrations.
We are using the mass loaded vinyl on our wood fence to block road noise. Works really well.
Perfect sound decoupler for my car.
I use it as sound barrier against loud neighbors. It makes a big difference, but of course, some noise still spills over the fence.
How many effective and simple to use
Surprised by the thickness
Audio Seal Sound Barrier is serious sound blocking material. Loosely hung, I can't imagine a home theater without it. It drastically cuts sound transfer (and Acoustical Solutions had the best price for a mass loaded vinyl product!)
More comments from satisfied customers. The sound barrier was installed yesterday and I put my boom box in the room, cranked it up, ran upstairs and could not hear a thing!!! Awesome. The sheet rock went up last night on the ceiling and I found that my singing sounds quite nice in the room! Maybe I should turn it into a recording studio. Thanks for your help.
