Reducing Low Frequency transmissions through residential walls
Reducing Low Frequency transmissions through residential walls
(OP)
I found a need to reduce the amount of low frequency (subwoofer produced) audio waves that get transmitted through my townhouse walls into my neighbors house. He has the same problem, so we would like to know if there is a somewhat affordable way of acousticly deadening the connecting wall without tearing open the wall or creating a eyesore. As always any help/ideas anyone contributes are very appreciated. If it helps the wall between the living rooms is about 20ft wide by 25ft tall(Valted ceiling). The speakers are moved away from the corners and the low frequencies are cutt down at the sorce but sound still travels through.

There are people on the Usenet group alt.sci.physics.acoustics who answer this sort of question all the time. I suggest you try posting there as well.

Also, as MikeyP mentioned, too good a wall will reveal other transmission paths and re-radiation on the other side. For critical applications (recording studios), an entire isolated room within a room is used, with all floors, walls, and ceilings isolated. This is very costly and complex.

What you recomend sounds like a product i've seen used on cars called Dynamat. However this product is very expensive, is the material you refer to commonly refered to by it's commercial name. Example; soem people i know still refer to coppiers as Xerox machines after the brand that made them popular. Everyones tips have opened up alot of ideas for me. Thanks for the help.
Thanks Again.
