Attic Insulation for Noise Blocking

In A-1 Insulation to enhancing energy efficiency and comfort, attic insulation offers a number of sound-dampening benefits. The ability to suppress both airborne and impact noise transmission can contribute to a more peaceful home environment, while reducing distractions and allowing people to relax more fully. However, not all insulation is created equal when it comes to addressing acoustic concerns. Different types of insulation have varying levels of sound-absorbing and blocking properties, with cellulose, fiberglass, rock wool, and spray foam offering unique benefits in their quest to reduce unwanted noises.

DIY vs. Professional Insulation: Which Option Is Best for You?

While many homeowners are aware that a well-insulated attic can help to minimize airborne noises, less is understood about the sound-blocking capabilities of various types of insulation. While sound-absorbing products like acoustic panels and soft furnishings address the transmission of sound waves within a space, sound blocking insulation focuses on creating barriers that restrict the flow of noise between spaces. Different insulation materials have varying degrees of sound-blocking abilities, with products like spray foam able to fill in all spaces and crevices, preventing the transmission of sound from one area to another.

Greenfiber offers a blown-in cellulose product that is highly effective at limiting sound transmission, especially in areas affected by airport flight paths. Our SANCTUARY insulation can be blown into attics to meet demanding sound reduction standards while also meeting strict energy efficiency requirements. To ensure maximum results, we recommend consulting a professional insulation installer to properly air seal your attic prior to insulating it and using the right installation techniques to achieve an optimal R-value for your area.
