Yes. Filling empty wall cavities reduces airborne noise such as traffic and voices coming through the walls, so rooms in your Newcastle home sound quieter. It works best alongside attention to windows, doors and gaps, which are often where most outside noise gets in.
What Wall Insulation Can and Can’t Do for Noise
An empty wall cavity lets sound travel through and bounce around inside it. Insulation absorbs much of that sound energy in the cavity, so less of it reaches the room on the other side. The effect is most noticeable on voices, televisions and steady traffic noise.
For external walls facing a busy road, pump-in insulation such as INSULBLOC® can be added to existing brick veneer and timber-framed walls without major renovation. For internal walls, such as between bedrooms or around a home office, we install acoustic batts or pumped cellulose to cut noise between rooms.
There are limits. Low, rumbling sounds from trucks or heavy bass are harder to block, and a single-glazed window or a gap under a door will let noise through even if the wall around it is well insulated. Walls shared with a neighbour vary in how they’re built, so we check the construction on site before recommending anything.
Noise can also come in through the roof and floor. Customers who have had their ceilings and floors insulated have told us their homes were noticeably quieter afterwards, including less noise from rain on metal roofs.
