Soundproofing drywall is one of the fastest-growing categories we handle in Jonesboro AR. Home offices, nurseries, home theaters, music rooms, and shared apartment walls all benefit from acoustic assemblies that go beyond standard drywall. Jonesboro Drywall installs sound-dampening drywall systems for residential and light commercial projects across Northeast Arkansas.
Our most common assembly is QuietRock or equivalent sound-dampening drywall over Green Glue noise-dampening compound, screwed to resilient channel on standard wood framing. Compared to a single layer of standard 1/2-inch drywall, this assembly can reduce sound transmission by 15–20 STC points — the difference between hearing a conversation through the wall and not knowing a conversation is happening.
For home theaters and music rooms we typically recommend double-layer drywall with Green Glue, sealed perimeters, decoupled outlets, and acoustically treated doors. We coordinate with the homeowner's audio designer to make sure the wall assembly supports the rest of the system.
Shared walls in duplexes, townhomes, and converted multi-unit properties often fail to meet modern noise expectations even when they meet code. We retrofit these walls by adding a layer of soundboard, an acoustic compound layer, and a second layer of drywall — substantially improving privacy without rebuilding the wall.
Acoustic ceilings are equally important. A standard drywall ceiling between floors transmits footfall noise loudly. Adding a resilient channel and a sound-dampening drywall layer dramatically reduces impact and airborne noise from the floor above.
Soundproofing is detail work. Air gaps at outlets, returns, perimeter trim, and door frames will undo a great wall assembly. We seal every penetration with acoustic caulk and treat doors as part of the system. Call (870) 555-0100 to talk through your soundproofing project anywhere in Jonesboro AR.
