01PLANNING GUIDE
Noise from neighbours, roads or within the home is much easier to reduce during a renovation, when walls, floors and ceilings are open. The right measures depend on whether the noise is airborne or impact.

Insulated stud walls with acoustic board, sealed gaps around sockets and pipes, solid-core doors with seals, and laminated or double glazing reduce airborne noise. Acoustic underlay under hard floors and resilient ceiling systems reduce impact noise to and from neighbours.
Bedrooms next to living areas, home offices, media rooms and apartments with noisy neighbours benefit most. Buildings may specify acoustic requirements for flooring.
