Acoustic Treatment for Your Apartment — What Actually Works Against Noise

· Andrej Szeredi

Hearing your neighbors through the wall? We explain which materials and methods actually help with apartment noise.

Noise from neighbors is one of the most common reasons clients contact us. Whether it's footsteps from upstairs, loud music, or TV through the wall — solutions exist. But be careful, not every approach actually works.

WOLF Tri Star boards — a proven solution

The most common material we use for acoustic wall treatments is the WOLF Tri Star board at 15mm thickness. These boards are made by a Greek company with decades of experience in acoustics. They're mounted directly on the wall or on a frame with mineral insulation behind them.

For more severe problems, we add Vibro foil — a special insulation layer that dampens vibrations transmitted through the structure. The combination of WOLF boards and Vibro foil is very effective even in prefab concrete apartment buildings.

How installation works

  • First, a steel frame of CD and UD profiles is mounted on the wall
  • Mineral wool is placed between the profiles — it absorbs sound
  • WOLF Tri Star acoustic boards (15mm) are attached to the frame
  • If needed, Vibro foil is added beneath the boards
  • Joints are filled and boards are prepared for final painting

When acoustic treatment helps — and when it doesn't

Acoustic boards on a wall significantly help against airborne noise (speech, TV, music). For impact noise (footsteps, thuds), ceilings and floors need to be addressed too. We always recommend a personal consultation where we assess the noise source and propose the most effective solution.

What acoustic treatment costs

The cost depends on scope — treating one bedroom wall costs differently than an entire apartment. It's always individual based on the client's needs. The important thing is not to follow internet advice and to consult a professional who can assess your specific problem on-site.
