Hello i have a tenant above my livingroom where i m installing in 5 1 wall speakers.
Ceiling speakers noise insulation.
Basic insulation between the ceiling joists is a common way to soundproof a ceiling.
I want to put insulation back around the speakers not for sound but to help with cold air and such.
However speakers can cause disturbances in other rooms.
Is noise leaking still possible even if the ceiling speakers are enclosed.
But that s shouldn t be the case.
If your ceiling is cement a thin layer of sound attenuating rubber can be added to the ceiling followed by sheetrock with a drop ceiling then installed over that.
Speakers are installed and sound great.
At this level the noise transfer between rooms can still usually be heard so a density of 60kg m3 is recommended in domestic buildings to reach satisfactory.
Should i just avoid in ceiling insulation altogether.
As the name implies the effect of this element is the soaking in or absorption of sound resulting in the reduction of ensuing noise.
In wall and in ceiling speakers are the ideal solution for this by which you can have speakers and wiring hidden inside the walls.
However in wall and in ceiling speakers have certain inherent disadvantages the first being the loss of sound quality.
I moved the insulation around the areas i put the speakers.
Once you identify the joists with a stud finder device you can drill a small hole into the open ceiling area.
When installing acoustic insulation slabs into the ceiling they must be at least 100mm thick with a minimum density of 45kg m3 which meets the current building regulation standards.
Finally the resulting space can be filled with foam insulation.
With ceiling speakers you will enjoy watching your movie or listening to music in style.
The speakers take up a lot of space in the room and hiding the cables is the biggest challenge.
3 in front and the other 2 can be behind the sofa or placed in the ceiling.
My attic has blown insulation.
Here are the best and tested soundproofing techniques for ceiling speakers.
For insulation you fill the space between the joists with an insulating material.
I dont want to push the blown insulation back due to it getting into the speaker or causing a fire somehow.
This material will absorb some of the vibrations but not all.
