For soundproofing specialists these matters are most important.

Soundproofing interventions: types

The first option, the most invasive, involves the use of real acoustic masonry blocks, capable of guaranteeing excellent acoustic and thermal protection. 

Leaner is the use of panels. Among these, there are many tenants who rely on the construction of a plasterboard wall , inside which insulating material is placed.

A second option involves the use of sound-absorbing curtains. Finally, if the noises persist, it is necessary to make the windows double or triple glazed and to equip them with a wooden frame, in order to obtain soundproofing and anti-noise windows.
