Soundproofing Noisy Pipes

Noise Control Challenge:

Drain pipes inside your walls carry water from kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms.    As the water flow navigates through the pipe system, pressures surface that force noise to break out through the walls of the pipes and transmit into the rooms of your home.   Your goal is to contain the noise to within the loud drain pipes and protect your home from any noisy plumbing fixtures.

Soundproofing Loud Pipes:

If you have access to the loud pipes, simply wrap them with our sound pipe insulation lagging material featured in the Product Bin.   If you do not have access to the pipes, consider treating the finished wall for transmission loss as outlined in our Walls section of this Applications Guide.

Acoustic Result:

Wrapping noisy drain pipes with the NetLag sound barrier material featured in our Product Bin can trigger average 10-12 dB drops.   Simulated results for soundproofing noisy pipes are broadcast in our Sound Chamber.   Treating the finished wall with dB-Bloc and a proper framing treating can trigger comparable results depending on leakage and framing techniques for better residential sound control.
