How to Soundproof a Hotel Room

Doors are the weakest point in most hotel rooms.

Main Access Doors

If major upgrades are planned, replace the existing unit with a Sound Lock Soundproof Door.

For retrofit applications, install Sound Lock™ Adjustable Door Seal Kits around the perimeter and bottom to eliminate air gaps.

Connecting Doors (Between Adjacent Rooms)

Connecting doors are a common complaint source. These should be sealed using a Sound Lock™ Adjustable Door Seal Kits to reduce sound transfer between guest rooms.

For more options, explore plenty of options to soundproof the door.

Wall assemblies determine how well guest rooms are isolated from one another. Install high density vinyl to the studs to increase mass and block airborne noise as a minimum. Our recommended solution, though, is to install a resilient clip system such as RSIC-1 to decouple drywall from framing and reduce structural sound transmission.

Exterior traffic, nightlife, and mechanical equipment often transmit through windows. Install Fantastic Frame Window Inserts to add an additional air gap and improve window isolation performance by up to 80%, while slashing energy bills.

It’s common to hear people walking above you in a hotel, and that can be quite bothersome. That doesn’t have to be the case. Soundproofing a floor-ceiling assembly comes down to choosing a side and executing:

Floor Side

Install UnderBlock™ Rubber Floor Underlayment beneath finished flooring to reduce impact transmission and improve IIC rating performance.

Ceiling Side

Install RSIC-1 Sound Isolation Clips to create a truly soundproof ceiling. For hanging drywall grids with even better performance, use the RSIC-WHI Sound Isolation Clips. Both of these isolate the ceiling from the structure to reduce vibration transfer.

Large suites can feel empty and even loud due to reverberation. Install Acoustic Pro Fabric Wrapped Panels to reduce reflected sound energy. Custom prints allow the panels to improve room aesthetics while reducing echo. For additional options, browse acoustics.
