Frequently Asked Questions

How much coverage do I need for soundproofing?

Plan for a 2 to 6 inch overlap between blankets and at least 2 feet of coverage beyond the noise source on each side to reduce noise leaks.

Full enclosure: Maximum noise reduction. Surround the entire noise source on all sides, including overhead, if needed. Best for regulatory compliance, neighbor complaint elimination, and critical applications.

Partial enclosure: U or L shape coverage. Surround the noise source on 2–3 sides, leaving access areas open. Best for most commercial applications, balanced performance, and cost.

One wall: Targeted coverage. Place acoustic barriers only between the noise source and the area you want to protect. Best for budget-conscious projects and specific problem areas.

How easy is it to install acoustic blankets?

No special skills required. If you can hang a shower curtain, you can install Quiet World™ blankets. The process involves:

  1. Determine mounting points (every 2–3 feet for optimal performance)
  2. Hang acoustic blankets with proper overlap to eliminate any noise leak paths
