SONOpan Soundproofing Panels are the most trusted solution for soundproofing walls and ceilings to reduce unwanted noise. Invest in soundproofing panels and enjoy the benefits of a quiet and peaceful environment.
HOW SONOPAN HELPS
Sound Transmission Class (STC) measures the reduction in sound decibels (dB) transmitted through walls and ceilings. The standardized STC rating accounts for airborne sound measured between 125 Hz and 4000 Hz.
Sound Transmission Class (STC) measures how well a material or barrier (wall, ceiling, etc.) reduces airborne sound transmission. For instance, if you have a home theatre in your basement, a higher STC rating in that room’s soundproofing will ensure you’re not hearing the epic surround sound from the latest action flick in your upstairs office space.
SONOpan panels are made from 100% recycled wood, making them among the greener wall, ceiling, and floor soundproofing choices.
SONOpan is installed between the joists and drywall of a ceiling or between the studs and drywall for a wall.
No harsh glues or toxic materials are required for proper installation.
SONOpan can be installed to dampen and sometimes wholly block the sounds in new construction and retrofit projects.

SEE HOW SONOPAN IS USED
When soundproofing a basement, the use of the space must be considered to determine the best soundproofing solution. Home theatres, basement apartments, and play areas for children have high noise potential and require optimal noise dampening. SONOpan offers wall and ceiling products and soundproof flooring that will turn your basement noises into a distant memory.

Slumber more soundly when you use SONOpan soundproofing panels for bedrooms. SONOpan is perfect for soundproofing bedroom walls and ceilings for bedrooms next to each other. Now, average nighttime and early morning noises from one room don’t permeate the neighbouring ones, allowing everyone to sleep and wake up comfortably and on their schedule.
When soundproofing a bedroom beside a washroom, installing SONOpan on the bedroom side will help block plumbing noise. We recommend using sound-rated solid core doors with weatherstrip for the best soundproofing results.

Soundproofing is necessary if you live in a duplex, townhouse, condo, or semi-detached home or use part of your home as a retail property or Airbnb.
Whether your space is a retrofit or a new build, installing SONOpan during construction will significantly impact soundproofing. If using SONOpanX soundproofing floor panels isn’t an option, resilient channel or isolation clips are a viable alternative.

Rental units within your home can be profitable if you provide tenants with a comfortable and private space. One contributing factor to a landlord’s return on investment is the space’s privacy. If all you do is meet the minimum code for soundproofing rental units (STC 50), you could be overlooking some things that make renters look elsewhere, like noises from kids, pets, footsteps and entertainment systems. That’s why SONOpan is a landlord’s best friend.

Bathrooms are the source of many home noises, including vent fans, flushing toilets, and knocking pipes. Thankfully, with SONOpan, homeowners can turn one of the noisiest rooms in the house into a fortress of solitude. Love the acoustics in your shower? Installing SONOpan in the bathroom makes it possible to belt out a melody without waking up the rest of the family.
To reduce all noise from a washroom, including plumbing, install SONOpan on an exterior wall and use solid-core doors for additional vibration reduction.

Home renovation experts agree that your laundry room should be soundproofed. Put that tumble dryer on mute with SONOpan and enjoy the freedom of getting the washing done without disturbing the peace. We recommend SONOpan for your laundry room walls, and ceilings and SONOpanX soundproofing floor panels beneath your washer and dryer for best results.
Washers and dryers also create impact noise through vibration. To help dampen those sounds, we recommend using rubber pads or other vibration-absorbing material underneath the machines.

The sounds you hear indoors are often layered on top of the sounds in the environment outdoors. Traffic, constructions, sirens, and noisy air conditioners are just some of the culprits of that din. Though you may have gotten used to tuning them out, it’s possible to eliminate them almost entirely with the proper soundproofing. SONOpan is a trusted name for reducing interior and exterior noise pollution.
Ensure doors and windows are sound-rated and installed correctly for best results. If you intend to soundproof the house’s exterior, SONOpan offers Eco 4 sheathing R4 panels.

Soundproofing is the process of controlling noise that enters or exits a room, while acoustics is the process of improving sound quality by preventing echo and reverberation. SONOpan is often used for acoustics due to its affordability and performance. The best way to do this is to create a frame with SONOpan inside and cover the whole panel in fabric. This method does not, however, work as soundproofing, which requires using SONOpan as a continuous solid barrier within the walls.
