Residential Soundproofing with MUTE Systems in Private Apartment

Project Overview

DECIBEL completed a residential soundproofing project in a private apartment, where the main concern was noise transmission from a neighbouring unit. The goal was to improve the sonic experience without compromising usable space.

To achieve this, DECIBEL applied its in-house developed MUTE systems, which offer high performance in a minimal thickness, ideal for residential applications where every centimetre counts.

Challenge

The apartment required effective sound insulation across both walls and ceilings to mitigate unwanted noise from the adjacent property. The challenge was to achieve significant noise reduction while preserving as much interior space as possible, critical in residential settings.

Scope of Work

• • Installation of MUTE SYSTEM 33 on a shared interior wall
  • Installation of C-MUTE SYSTEM on all ceilings throughout the apartment
  • Full soundproofing consultation and project execution by DECIBEL’s team

Solution

Both solutions were chosen for their compact profile and proven efficiency. The MUTE product line (engineered by DECIBEL’s R&D department) uses advanced thin-film materials to deliver high-performance sound insulation in thicknesses of just 23, 33, or 63 mm. This made it ideal for the residential space, where reducing impact on interior dimensions was a top priority.

Result

The client experienced a noticeable reduction in airborne noise from the neighbouring apartment. The treatment was completed with minimal loss of space, maintaining the apartment’s layout and comfort while significantly enhancing acoustic privacy.

Residential soundproofing demands a delicate balance between effectiveness and space conservation. DECIBEL’s MUTE systems are specifically designed to meet this need, offering discreet, high-performance solutions for walls, ceilings, and floors. This project highlights how strategic material selection can preserve both silence and square metres in modern living spaces.
