Gym Soundproofing
Our focus on gym soundproofing has increased over the past few years and our offerings have expanded as the rise in well-being for general all-around fitness and wellness has increased. Our inner-city developments are now multi-purpose, meaning that we receive planning proposals for gym soundproofing alongside residences and workplaces, who sometimes also have pieces of gym equipment, and this section is for you too! The management of acoustics and soundproofing for these buildings need great attention, as the design requirements for gyms are high to protect the local community.

If you are specifying a new Gym then you will need to carry out a ‘Noise Impact Assessment Test‘ and report which can be seen in our Sound Testing section. A great deal of Acoustic Design is needed for both noises travelling out into adjacent properties, travelling into quieter rooms and for managing the quality of sound internally. We cover everything from vast areas of cardiovascular activities to Olympic weightlifting – so whether you’re proposing a new Gym or working to improve or resolve an existing one – we have the gym soundproofing Systems to successfully design these!
To help you understand what the performance means and our additional focus on areas when gathering information for a soundproofing project, viewing more below will expand this for you. These soundproofing gym systems will offer options for those looking at three deciding categories: Performance, Cost and Thickness.
Turn the volume of the video down to match the noise you’re dealing with for the best results. This video is a digitally recreated noise issue that is then decreased artificially. This is designed to give you a more practical understanding of decibel reduction.
It’s best to think of the MuteClip as a mini shock absorber reducing the transfer of noise vibrations from your wall to a new isolated frame. The dual-density silicone backing makes contact with your wall and surrounds the metal bushing to isolate the clip. This ensures your new system is decoupled from the existing structure.
Acoustic Plasterboard
Acoustic plasterboard looks the same as regular sheets, however, it has an increased mass.
What is it for?
Reducing airborne vibrations
How does it work?
The higher mass in acoustic plasterboard allows it to reflect airborne soundwaves and insulate a space.
Where is it used?
Acoustic plasterboard can be used on walls and ceilings. It is often used as the structural base to preformed wall panels.
Acoustic Mineral Wool
Mineral wool that has a minimum density of 45kg/m3 is considered acoustic. It is available in different densities and thicknesses and is a fairly rigid material.
What is it for?
Reduce airborne noise
How does it work?
The open structure allows sound vibration to travel through and the micro-friction created between waves and fibres exhausts the sound into other forms of energy, like heat.
Where is it used?
In any open cavities between joist and stud work.
MuteClips
Isolation clips with dual density silicone that support a metal channel, used to support a new wall or ceiling partition.
What is it for?
Airborne noise
How does it work?
Dual density, vibration damping silicone, wraps the screw butt to prevent direct contact between the wall and the metal supporting channel. This isolates vibrations and is the most effective solution for space used.
Where is it used?
Walls and ceilings
Tecsound
Tecsound is a visco-elastic membrane which comes in different weights and with the option for a self-adhesive back.
What is it for?
Reducing airborne and impact
How does it work?
Tecsound has a very high mass, for reflecting airborne sound waves. The visco-elastic quality allows the material to flex and absorb impact vibrations.
Where is it used?
Tecsound is a versatile membrane used on walls, floors and ceilings.
Acoustic Sealant
As a general rule, a 2-5mm gap should be left around the perimeter of installed soundproof panels. Into this gap, the acoustic sealant is squeezed.
What is it for?
Reducing flanking transmission
How does it work?
By leaving a gap between materials, vibrations cannot pass from one structure to the next. However, an air gap cannot be left either. Acoustic sealant doesn’t set solid and is the perfect, flexible, material to seal the gap.
Where is it used?
Walls and ceilings
Isolation Strips – Rubber Crumb
Isolation strips can be used on top of wooden joists before the floor is fitted and on stud work to act as a barrier between the wall and partition.
What is it for?
Reducing flanking transmission
How does it work?
Made of the same rubber crumb as underlays, this non-resonant rubber reduces the transference of vibrations between flanking structures.
Where is it used?
Tops of floor joists and outside of stud work.
Soundproofing science made simple…
Understanding the decibel scale
Decibels are how we measure sound but due to the logarithmic nature of the Decibel scale, it isn’t the most intuitive concept to grasp. If you are interested in soundproofing the key thing to take away from this article is that reducing sound by 10dB is a perceived halving of the sound you hear. Lets take a look at some examples….
10 dB reduction
20 dB reduction
30 dB reduction
40 dB reduction
Airborne noise
Sound that uses the medium of air to travel through. Common examples include talking, music and TV.
Impact noise
Sound generated by two materials coming into contact, sound vibrations travel through the materials. Common examples are footsteps and washing machines.
Flanking Transmission
When sound vibrations travel over, under or around a barrier. Flanking transmission can occur when there are holes in walls made by light fixings, shelves or picture hooks. Another common example is pipe work which can vibrate with sound waves and travel between various rooms.
Decoupling
A method of soundproofing which reduces points of direct contact between two surfaces or places a vibration resistant material between them. Common examples are isolation clips (MuteClips), secondary stud walls and isolation strips on stud work.
Mass addition
A method of soundproofing that uses materials of high mass to reflect airborne noise within a space. This prevents sound escaping a space or entering a space.
Absorption
A method of sound control which uses materials with open structures, such as foams and loose woven fibres, to damp sound. This reduces the reflection of sound waves within a space which would lead to reverberation and the amplification of sound.
How to reduce impact noise
To reduce impact noise, which uses the structure to travel through, an ideal solution is to decouple surfaces wherever possible. This will reduce the points of contact where vibrations are able to pass from one structure into the next.
An example of this could be a ‘
