What Are the Best Soundproofing Products for Walls? – A Guide for Brighton & Surrounding Areas
Living in vibrant areas like Brighton, Hove, Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, and the wider West Sussex region means enjoying a lively community — but it can also mean dealing with unwanted noise. Whether it’s traffic, neighbours, or internal household sounds, the right soundproofing products for walls can make your home dramatically quieter and more comfortable.
If you’re considering improving the acoustics of your property, here’s a breakdown of the best wall soundproofing solutions, including the increasingly popular Silientsand Acoustic Boards, with insights from the local experts at West Sussex Soundproofing Ltd.
1. Acoustic Mineral Wool (AMW)
A staple in wall soundproofing, Acoustic Mineral Wool is used inside stud walls, partition walls, and cavities.
Why it’s effective:
- Absorbs airborne sound (voices, TV noise, traffic).
- Non-combustible and thermally efficient.
- Ideal for Brighton’s older Victorian and Edwardian properties with hollow walls.
2. Acoustic Plasterboard (Sound-Bloc Boards)
These high-density boards add mass to the wall — and mass is key to sound reduction.
Benefits:
- Strong airborne noise reduction.
- Simple to finish with plaster.
- Works well in both modern and period homes across Sussex.
Best used with: AMW or acoustic membranes for maximum performance.
3. Resilient Bars (Resilient Channels)
Perfect for reducing structural vibration — a common problem in flats and terraced homes.
How they help:
- Decouple the wall surface from the timber framework.
- Great for reducing impact noise like footsteps and door slams.
- Popular in Brighton’s busy central districts where wall-to-wall noise is common.
4. Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) / Acoustic Membrane
A thin but heavy layer that significantly improves airborne sound reduction.
Advantages:
- Adds excellent sound-blocking mass without taking up space.
- Ideal for tight rooms or retrofitting in Brighton and surrounding areas.
5. Soundproofing Panels (Foam or Fabric)
Designed for acoustic improvement rather than blocking noise.
Where they work:
- Music studios
- Home offices
- Home cinemas
- Creative workspaces (Brighton’s speciality!)
6. Silientsand Acoustic Boards
One of the newest and most effective solutions, Silientsand Acoustic Boards are engineered for exceptional noise reduction and are becoming a favourite among professionals, including West Sussex Soundproofing Ltd.
Why Silientsand Boards stand out:
- Constructed with a dense, sand-filled core that dramatically increases mass.
- Excellent for blocking both airborne noise (talking, TV, traffic) and low-frequency noise.
- Slimmer than many traditional wall soundproofing systems, making them ideal for Brighton’s period properties where space is limited.
- Can be used as part of a layered system or as a direct replacement for standard plasterboard.
Best for: Homeowners who need powerful sound insulation without losing too much room space.
Combining Products = Best Results
For the highest performance, professionals often combine materials such as:
Acoustic Mineral Wool + Resilient Bars + Silientsand Acoustic Boards.
This creates a robust system that reduces both vibration and airborne noise — ideal for Brighton flats, terraced houses, studios, and offices.
