Apartment & Private Home Soundproofing NYC

Soundproofing Walls, Ceilings & Floors.

Noise and vibration in your home affects your sleep, your health, and your quality of life. Quiet Zone builds soundproofing solutions for apartments and private homes across the NYC Metro area — walls, ceilings, floors & mechanical noise isolation — constructed precisely to keep noise out.

Noise & Vibration We Build Against

Neighbor noise through shared walls, floors, and ceilings

Footfall and impact noise from apartments above
HVAC and mechanical equipment noise and vibration
Water pipes and plumbing noise
Boiler room noise and vibration
Elevator rumbles
Street noise (traffic, construction, sirens)
Subway and train noise and vibration

Soundproofing Installation & Construction

Wall Soundproofing

We build soundproof wall assemblies for masonry, gypsum block, terra cotta, plaster & lath, metal and wood stud construction. Decoupled wall assemblies, double stud construction, or something more extreme — isolating shared walls from neighbor noise, mechanical noise & structural vibration. Soundproof doors & windows built as part of complete wall assemblies.

Ceiling Soundproofing

We build soundproof ceiling assemblies for wood joist, steel joist & concrete structures — spring hung ceilings, resilient sound isolation clip ceilings & decoupled assemblies for structure-borne and airborne noise. The most common complaint in residential buildings and private homes is footfall from above.

Floor Soundproofing

We construct floating floor systems, resilient underlayment assemblies & vibration isolation for wood joist, steel joist & concrete floor structures. Noise coming up through your floor from the apartment or restaurant below? Neighbor complaining about your footfall? We build for both impact and airborne noise control. Critical for apartment buildings, brownstones, townhouses, private homes & commercial-to-residential spaces.

Mechanical Noise & Vibration Isolation

Mechanical noise is some of the most disruptive in NYC residential buildings. Unlike airborne noise through walls, mechanical noise travels through the structure itself — floors, walls, pipes & framing — making it feel like it's everywhere at once.

We install vibration isolation pads & mounts, acoustic enclosures & decoupled mechanical room assemblies for HVAC equipment, pumps, boilers, elevator machinery & plumbing noise — isolating it at the point of origin before it spreads through the building. Quiet Zone is NYC's residential soundproofing contractor for mechanical noise, vibration & structural transmission.

HE DEALT WITH THEM LIKE A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND SAINT

Timothy Lee, LCSW, CSAT-S Clinical Director - 333 East 41st Street, NYC

"If I could give Ronan more than five stars, I would. I live in a prewar apartment with thin floors. The noise from upstairs in my home office WAS insanely loud.

Ronan came in and gave me an estimate. I shopped around and he was not the cheapest guy.... but I trusted my instincts that he knew what he was doing. He came in on budget and on schedule. He left the space better than when he came in.

I was worried about my built in bookshelves and he was able to reconfigure them perfectly. Also, there was not a spec of dust.... he protected everything. All of my issues with upstairs noises have been resolved.

Something else of note.... Ronan met with some challenging issues from my Building. He dealt with them like a true gentleman and saint. He is truly steady as he goes kind of guy. Rare. I would without a doubt recommend him.

Thanks!”
