Cellulose Insulation
Loose-fill insulation that is good for soundproofing irregular spaces. Often blown into wall cavities and attics.
Cork
Natural material known for its sound-absorbing properties. Ideal for use in flooring, bulletin boards, and as underlayment material.
Rockwool Insulation
Provides excellent sound absorption and is fire resistant. Suitable for high-temperature applications and home theaters.
Cotton Batting
Made from natural fibers, provides moderate sound insulation. Used in eco-friendly building projects and as an alternative to fiberglass.
Foam Insulation
Polyurethane or polystyrene foam can reduce echo and reverberation. Used in recording studios and around noisy machinery.
Mineral Wool (Slag Wool)
Known for thermal resistance and sound absorption. Suitable for industrial settings and where fire resistance is a priority.
Gypsum Board (Drywall)
A cost-effective option for constructing walls that need soundproofing. Enhanced by layers or special sound-dampening cores.
Aerogel Insulation
High-performance material with low density and excellent thermal insulation, which also helps to soundproof spaces. Used in specialized engineering applications and aerospace.
Fiberglass Insulation
Effective at dampening sounds, especially high-frequency noise. Commonly used in residential and commercial buildings within walls and ceilings.
Mass Loaded Vinyl
A heavy, yet flexible material that reflects sound. Used in floors, walls, and ceilings to block sound transmission.
Rubber Soundproofing
High mass and resilience help to isolate noise, especially impact noise. Good for floors and as decoupling elements.
Hemp Insulation
A sustainable and biodegradable option with good acoustical properties. Utilized in green building designs and renovations.
Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panels
Eco-friendly material that offers good acoustic performance. Used in decorative applications, offices, and home interiors.
Acoustic Foam (Convoluted Foam)
Used to reduce echo within a room rather than for soundproofing. Common in recording studios and equipment enclosures.
Acoustic Panels
Designed to control sound in spaces with a lot of echo or reverberation. Typically used in auditoriums, studios, and conference rooms.
