Soundproofing a Nursery

Acoustic Challenge

A room filled with infants, toddlers and pre-school age children is a room filled with noise.   Our goal is to lower the decibel level exposure inside the room, and guard against noise bleeding out of the room into adjoining rooms and hallways.

Soundproofing Treatment

To contain the noise to within the room and protect adjoining rooms and hallways, follow our advice listed in our Walls or Ceilings section of this Application Guide.    Here we define the "disconnection and density" sound proofing formula used to combat the bleed of noise out of a room.   To control the noise inside the room, apply a set of acoustical panels or ceiling tiles in the room to help deaden sound wave reverberations.   This will help lower background noise and drop the decibel level exposure for the kids and the adults.

Acoustic Results

For transmission loss applications, the framing techniques and use of dB-Bloc can trigger 12-15 decibel level drops outside the nursery.   These results for soundproofing a nursery are simulated in our Sound Chamber for your reference.   For the acoustics held to within the room, the sound panels will capture the unwanted echo, collapsing the reflections of sound within the room, and deliver a more comfortable sound environment for the people in the room.

If your goal is to combat the transmission of the noise inside your nursery through a common wall to an adjoining room, visit our Walls section where we outline the steps you need to take to insulate the wall and protect the room next door.   We address for both new build and existing structures.

If your noise is bleeding out through the ceiling, our Ceilings section also outlines your treatment options. To lower the sound levels inside the nursery, our goal is to slow down the reflections of the sounds bouncing off the walls and ceiling in the room.   Our Product Bin is filled with products designed to slow down reverberation times within your room.   The most popular treatment is to line a set of Fabric Panels around the upper perimeter of your walls in the room, or suspend a comparable set of Ceiling Clouds from your ceiling.   Both treatments will serve to keep these panels up and away from the kids.   Keep panel sizes to mid ranges such as 3'x4', 4'x4' or 4'x6'.

If you want to have sound panels double as bulletin boards for the kids, get 4'x10' sheets of FabricTack panels and place them down lower on the walls at chalkboard levels.

If you have a tile floor, carpeting the floor will help soften the sound reflections in the room as well.  The products used for this treatment are listed in the Product Bin for Nursery treatments.
