Will Acoustic Panels Help With Noisy Neighbours?

• Reduce Echo and Reverberation – Panels reduce reverberation inside your own space, making conversations, music and TV clearer.
• Improve Comfort – They soften harsh reflections and create a calmer environment.
• Not for Blocking Noise – They don’t prevent outside noise from passing through walls or ceilings

Acoustic panels will not help with sound from your neighbours. They are designed to absorb echo and improve sound quality inside your room. To reduce neighbour noise coming through walls, ceilings, or floors, you’ll need proper soundproofing solutions

• Adding mass-loaded barriers to walls and ceilings
• Installing resilient channels or isolation systems to decouple surfaces.
• Sealing gaps, sockets, and air leaks where sound can travel.
• Using specialist acoustic insulation inside wall cavities.
• Asking your neighbours to be more considerate 🙂

Unfortunately, if you need to block noise from next door, you’ll need soundproofing solutions. These can be quite extreme and expensive modifications to make in a home setting.

While panels won’t block neighbour noise, they can make a difference if:

• Your room has strong echo, making external noise seem louder.
• You like to listen to music and want to improve the audio quality
• You’re combining them with proper soundproofing for a complete solution

If noisy neighbours are your main issue, acoustic panels alone won’t solve the problem. They’re excellent for controlling echo inside your home, but true soundproofing measures are needed to block unwanted noise from next door.

Resonics can help you understand whether you need acoustic panels, soundproofing, or a combination of both to create a quieter, more comfortable home.
