Woodside Soundproofing Company

Woodside is one of Queens' most diverse neighborhoods, where Irish pubs stand alongside Thai restaurants, Filipino bakeries, and markets. This community offers affordable housing, tree-lined streets, and excellent transit connections, with a mix of pre-war brick buildings, row houses, and newer apartment complexes.

Yet Woodside's prime location comes with noise challenges. The elevated train rumbles along Roosevelt Avenue, creating constant vibration and airborne noise. Busy commercial corridors, the Long Island Rail Road's Woodside station, and LaGuardia Airport flight paths add layers of sound throughout the area.

New York Soundproofing brings proven expertise to Woodside's unique acoustic environment, designing custom solutions with professional-grade materials that deliver measurable results.

Types of Noise in Woodside

Woodside residents face a unique combination of noise sources that require specialized solutions:

1. Elevated Train Noise — The train along Roosevelt Avenue creates both airborne noise and structural vibration that affects buildings for blocks in every direction.
   
   
2. Long Island Rail Road — LIRR trains at Woodside station produce diesel engine sounds, horn signals, and rail clatter throughout the day and night.
   
   
3. Aircraft Noise — LaGuardia Airport flight paths pass directly over Woodside, with jet engine noise penetrating standard windows easily.
   
   
4. Commercial Corridor Noise — Roosevelt Avenue's busy mix of restaurants, bars, and shops generates traffic, deliveries, and nightlife sounds.
   
   
5. Neighbor Noise — Multi-family housing and row houses mean footsteps, voices, and music travel through shared walls, floors, and ceilings.

Materials We Use

Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) is a dense, flexible barrier that adds mass to walls, ceilings, and floors without significant thickness. It effectively blocks airborne noise from traffic, trains, and voices.

Green Glue Compound is a viscoelastic damping material applied between layers of drywall. It converts sound energy into heat, dramatically reducing noise transmission through assemblies.

Isolation Clips and Resilient Channels decouple drywall from structural framing, breaking the direct path for sound and vibration. Essential for elevated train noise and impact sounds from neighbors.

Acoustic Drywall combines multiple layers of gypsum with damping polymers for superior sound blocking in a single panel. Ideal for space-limited applications.

Soundproof Windows and Inserts feature laminated glass and airtight seals to reduce exterior noise by up to 50%. Our window solutions address aircraft and street noise effectively.

Floating Floor Systems isolate finished flooring from the subfloor using specialized underlayments and rubber mats. They prevent footstep noise from traveling to units below and reduce vibration from external sources.

Best Acoustic Strategies for Soundproofing in Woodside

For Elevated Train Noise: Decoupled wall and ceiling assemblies with isolation clips, combined with mass-loaded barriers, effectively reduce both vibration and airborne noise from the 7 train.

For Aircraft Noise: High-performance window inserts or replacement windows with acoustic seals dramatically reduce sound from LaGuardia flight paths.

For Neighbor Noise: Floating floor systems and isolated ceiling assemblies address footstep impact and voices traveling through shared structures in multi-family buildings.
