Music Studios

  • We work with you to create a studio design that nails what you’re about
  • We custom build the studio from the ground up
  • We acoustically treat the studio for its intended use

One of City Insulation’s areas of expertise is in the design and build of professional music recording studios.

It goes without saying that precise soundproofing and acoustics is essential for such spaces. Not only does external noise potentially interfere with the recording process but producers and engineers need to be assured of the purity of the captured sound. We employ a complexity of techniques and materials to create amazing acoustic spaces, in which to work, practice and record.

Here are just a few ways City Insulation can help...

Keeping distractions at bay

Effective soundproofing in music recording studios is essential for isolating external noise sources, such as traffic sounds, nearby construction, or any other disturbances that can compromise recording quality. Acoustic barriers such as dense walls, specially modified acoustic doors, and resilient sound isolation clips are commonly employed to prevent noise leakage and ensure a controlled recording environment.

Where acoustics are essential

In addition to isolating external noise, soundproofing also addresses internal acoustics in the recording studio. Using sound-absorbing materials such as acoustic panels, diffusers, and bass traps, we can minimise unwanted reflections, echoes, and reverberations. These acoustic measures create a balanced sound environment, for accurate monitoring and precise sound capture during recordings.

Specific techniques: walls, floors, and ceilings

Soundproofing professional recording studios involves the structural elements of the space. Isolated ‘room within a room’ structures are employed to ensure the highest soundproofing performance is achieved. Floating floors and suspended ceilings with decoupled frames help to prevent vibrations and airborne sound from traveling through the structure. With up to 7 layers including cement particle board, Tecsound and a variety of plasterboards on sound isolation clips, we have a unique design-build-install approach that few competitors can match.

Sealing the sound barrier

Windows and doors are obvious weak points for sound transmission. Installing twin double-glazed acoustic glass windows of different thicknesses or replacing the second pane with secondary acoustic glazing, helps to minimise sound leakage while still allowing natural light into the recording studio. Fire doors with heavy mass, perimeter and drop seals, with low reverb reveals provide additional protection against sound intrusion.

If you are planning the construction of a new music studio, or the renovation of an existing studio, let City Insulation partner with you to create an exceptional soundproofed and acoustic space.

We'd had problems with noise from our neighbours – loud TV, loud phone conversations – which had become so intrusive we were considering moving. But we love our house, so instead, we decided to get "proper" sound proofing done by City Insulation, and we're really glad we did. Intrusive noise has been pretty much entirely eliminated and we feel like our home is our own once more. Jack and Nick did the work and were a pleasure to have in the house. They talked us through what they were doing, kept us up to date with progress and cleaned up thoroughly once they were done.

City Insulation did a fantastic job sound-proofing the party wall in my home office. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and a pleasure to deal with. The team worked efficiently, left everything spotless, and the results are excellent. Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend Adam and the team at City Insulation. They are polite, reliable and carried out the soundproofing job I needed in the timescales given. We had to tweak a few things along the way but this was dealt with promptly.
