What Are Sound Dampeners?

Sound dampeners are a type of acoustic insulation that dissipates vibrational energy before it can radiate as sound. By stopping an object from vibrating, sound dampening products reduce noise, or unwanted sounds, that travel through the air as waves.

Should I get sound dampeners?

Soundproofing insulation is a good choice because it requires no extra tools for installation. Like standard insulation, it's usually a batt that's installed between wood or metal studs behind the drywall. Soundproofing insulation can be used in both walls and floors.

What is the difference between soundproofing and sound dampening?

If a room is soundproof, it means it is impervious to sound. Sound dampening works a little differently. For example, if you update the insulation in your exterior walls with injection foam can reduce sound transmission by up to 80 percent. It doesn't eliminate the noise completely, but it does greatly reduce it.
