Insulation for walls?? (to reduce noise)
Page 1 of 1
Wrapping insulation around waste pipes, etc will help dramatically reduce the sounds of toilets flushing.
It's something I did in my current home, and something I am doing in my new one.
Can I put that in my internal walls to help lower the noise (currently have a few walls off at my house after getting asbestos removed)? The only problem would be that the insulation is 75mm and my studs are 70mm however I'd be using it more as a sound insulator than a thermal one.

Ohh that sounds like what I need. Can any kind of insulation be used. We are getting SilverCell in our roof which is the foil looking one. Would we have to use something else?
I'm sure your builder will have various options for this situation.... maybe it is something they will let you do yourselves. I have read on here about people doing their own sound (acoustic?) insulation.
I think the insulation for sound is different stuff from the usual.
Good luck
