Challenge

To reduce the noise and vibration in an old, uninsulated apartment.

Solution

Controlling vibrations is an essential aspect of reducing the noise in an apartment. While some may think about using generic acoustic foam to stick on the walls, reducing the vibration from its root cause can be the best way to handle the problem. Utilizing vibration-damping pads and bumpers can stop vibrations and slamming noises from doors and other furniture.

Olivia, a woman from Sydney, lived in an old apartment complex. Everything in the apartment creaked or banged, with the washing machine and her husband’s treadmill being the main culprits. The old doors and cabinets also caused loud banging noises when closed. Olivia’s solution to the disruptive noise? Sorbothane® pads and bumpers.

Olivia incorporated a Sorbothane bumper into every door and cabinet to create a soft thump noise when closed, successfully reducing the creaking, slamming, and banging noises. She also placed Sorbothane pads underneath the treadmill in her basement, which virtually eliminated the noise that came from her husband running marathons on the 600-pound machine.

Sorbothane products allowed Olivia to create a quieter living space, which eliminated annoyances, prevented her from disturbing her neighbors, and overall improved the quality of life for her and her husband.

Although Olivia used pre-made solutions for her situation, Sorbothane, Inc. provides tailored solutions to any challenge. To learn more about our pre-made and custom options, visit our product catalog.
