Soundproofing in Delhi
Professional soundproofing and acoustic treatment for recording studios in Delhi. Home studios to commercial facilities in Noida and Gurgaon.
Why Recording Studios in Delhi Fail Without Proper Soundproofing
These are the six most common problems we see in Delhi recording studios.
- Delhi traffic and ambient noise bleeds into recordings. Auto-rickshaws, metro rumble, and construction noise contaminate recordings with low-frequency ambient that EQ cannot fix.
- Bass and drums leak to neighbours. Low frequencies travel through concrete walls in Delhi apartment buildings, causing noise complaints and legal issues.
- Room modes and bass buildup colour the mix. Untreated rectangular rooms create standing waves in corners. Mixes sound boomy and fail on other speakers.
- Flutter echo ruins vocal recordings. Parallel hard walls create flutter echo on vocals, requiring heavy processing that degrades quality.
- HVAC and generator noise enters recordings. Delhi's constant AC and power backup requirements mean mechanical hum requires both isolation and decoupling to eliminate.
- No isolation between control room and live room. Without proper wall construction, bleed between rooms makes overdubbing impossible.
Soundproofing vs Acoustic Treatment You Need Both
Two different problems, two different solutions. A recording studio needs both.
Stops sound travelling between rooms and buildings using dense, heavy materials to block transmission through walls, floors, ceilings, and doors.
- Stops Delhi traffic noise entering the studio
- Prevents bass from leaking to neighbours
- Isolates control room from live room
- Protects against complaints and legal issues
Acoustic Treatment Controls Sound Inside the Room
Controls how sound behaves inside an isolated room using absorbers and diffusers to reduce reverberation, eliminate echo, and control bass.
- Eliminates flutter echo on vocals
- Controls bass buildup in room corners
- Creates a neutral, accurate listening environment
- Makes mixes translate well to other systems
The MMT Acoustix 3-Layer Soundproofing System for Studios
Each layer addresses a different mechanism of sound transmission. Skip one and the system underperforms.
Fix SoundBlanket MLV to wall, ceiling, or door with nails and SR Adhesive. Choose 2.5mm (30 dB STC) for moderate noise or 4mm (36 dB STC) for maximum isolation against bass and heavy traffic. Higher thicknesses on special order.
SoundBlanket MLV 2.5mm or 4mmInstall a 600x600mm GI or aluminium frame over the MLV. Fill cavities with BassBloc 20mm. Optionally add 5-7mm perforated MDF for a flat seamless base before the final panel layer.
BassBloc 20mm + GI Frame 600x600mmFix your choice of acoustic panel over the frame with adhesive and screws. Any MMT Acoustix panel works here depending on the NRC required and your aesthetic.
Any Acoustic Panel - see recommendations belowCeiling Up to 10 Feet
Stick 2.5mm MLV + BassBloc directly to ceiling. Apply PET Acoustic Panels on top with adhesive + screws.
Ceiling Above 10 Feet
Use acoustic ceiling clouds or baffles suspended below the ceiling for a premium look and broadband absorption.
Doors and Windows
Doors: acoustic door seals + 3-layer system on door leaf. Windows: MLV + Vindo soundproof curtains.
Floor Soundproofing: Lay SoundBlanket MLV as an underlayer beneath carpet, vinyl, or flooring. MLV under the floor isolates impact noise and bass transmission between floors in Delhi buildings.
Which MLV Thickness for Your Delhi Studio?
More thickness = more sound blocked. Choose based on your noise level.
30 dB STC Reduction
Voices, TV, light music, light traffic. For podcast studios, voiceover booths, and practice rooms.
36 dB STC Reduction
Drums, bass, heavy music production, HVAC, and heavy Delhi traffic. For professional studios and music production rooms.
Higher thicknesses available on special order for large studio and commercial projects. MOQ applies - contact MMT Acoustix to discuss.
