Key takeaways
- Soundproofing runs S$15+ psf for walls and ceilings depending on the acoustic build.
- Real soundproofing is mass, decoupling and sealed gaps — not foam panels.
- Ask what dB reduction they're targeting and how — specialists talk numbers, not gimmicks.
- Treat the weakest path first: gaps around doors and windows leak more sound than walls.
Noise is the neighbour you can't choose — but proper soundproofing is a solvable problem if you skip the gimmicks. Here's what real acoustic treatment costs and how to tell specialists from foam-panel sellers.

When you are the light sleeper or have noisy neighbours, soundproofing your home can help to improve your quality of life and provide a conducive environment for your work and rest. Soundproofing your home can help to block out noisy chatters, traffic noises, sirens and any other outdoor noises. What are the home improvement works that you can implement to maintain your quiet space at home?
1. Soundproof your walls
Noise from your neighbours often get to your room through the walls. Our walls are the hard surface that are poor absorbers of sound. Soft surfaces, on the other hand, absorb sound better and help to make your room free from your neighbour’s noise. You can install sound-absorbing panels to your wall or cover your walls with cushioning or moving pads. There are even soundproof wallpapers in the market that you can opt for.2. Soundproof your ceiling
If you have ever experienced noise and vibration coming from when your neighbours upstairs when they drag their furniture or drop something, you will understand how frustrating it can be sometimes. These noises travel easily through the concrete slab that separates you and your neighbour. To soundproof your ceiling, you can install a false ceiling and fill the gap with high-density materials to help absorb sound and reduce noise transmission. You will require the expertise of a professional for this.3. Soundproof your floor
One easiest way to soundproof your floor is to lay a layer of the thick dense rug. Alternatively, you can opt for interlocking floor mats. One added advantage is that since interlocking floor mats come in pieces, it will be easier to lay an oddly-shaped area as compared to using a huge roll of carpet.4. Soundproof your windows and doors
Windows and doors are the main channels by which sound can enter your room. If possible, hire a professional to install soundproof windows for you. What differentiates soundproof windows from normal windows is the additional pane of glass. The standard windows have a single pane of glass while soundproof windows have two. This creates a medium of air that traps sounds. A medium is required to transmit sound and air is a poor conductor of sound. In addition, soundproof windows have an insulating sealant around them to ensure that there are no gaps for any sound to filter through. Installation of soundproof windows may be costly but it is proven to be the most effective method to reduce noise levels.Alternatively, a cost-saving DIY method that you could adopt is to hang heavy, full drape curtains from your ceiling to floor. This method- while not the most effective- can help to trap and dampen some of the noise within the multiple folds of the thick fabric.
For your doors, the most important thing is to seal any gaps. You can use insulating sealant, gap foam, as well as weatherstripping tape to do this job. You can also choose to install a door sweep to seal the gap between the door and your floor.
These soundproofing methods can be quite a hassle. Therefore, you should engage the help of a professional to do it for you. Here at Homees, we have provided you with a list of reliable professionals.

- The key requirement. Real soundproofing is materials + detailing — mass, decoupling and sealed gaps, not foam panels.
- Ask what dB reduction they're targeting and how — real specialists talk mass and sealing, not just foam.
- Reviews with specifics beat star counts. Look for reviews that mention your job type and how problems were handled — not just "good service".
- Itemised quotes only. A lump-sum quote is where surprises hide. Line items let you compare fairly across companies.
- Never pay fully upfront. Deposit, progressive payments, and a retention until the work is done and checked.
