Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Dibrugarh
Two jobs that must not be confused: keeping the building out, and making the room honest inside. The first is mass and decoupling and has to be built first. The second is absorption and diffusion and can be tuned later. Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
- Isolation
- A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought.
- Low frequency
- Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam.
- Early reflections
- Controlled at the mix position, and only there.

The product, described honestly, for a Dibrugarh brief
Two jobs that must not be confused: keeping the building out, and making the room honest inside. The first is mass and decoupling and has to be built first. The second is absorption and diffusion and can be tuned later.
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
Work reaching us from Dibrugarh is mostly tea processing units, energy sector offices, hospitals, colleges, hotels, assembly halls.
- Processing machinery Driers, sorters and fans running continuously in humid buildings. Enclosure at the source is the reliable answer.
- Very high humidity PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters in a climate where mineral products fail quickly.
- A long supply route Five days by road, confirmed before dispatch, and packed for the journey rather than for a short transfer.
- Isolation A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for studio soundproofing are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Dibrugarh.
02 / The build-up
How the layers stack, from the structure inwards
-
Layer 1
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Dibrugarh, split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.
Duct and plant wrap. Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
-
Layer 2
Soundproofing materials
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. In Dibrugarh, auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
Independent leaf. A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
-
Layer 3
Soundproof curtains
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. In Dibrugarh, schools and colleges are naturally ventilated with open corridors and large class sizes.
Full height with return. Curtain taken floor to soffit with a side return and an overlap, because the gap is what leaks, not the fabric.
Architects working in Dibrugarh usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Dibrugarh do to the specification
- Processing machinery
Driers, sorters and fans running continuously in humid buildings. Enclosure at the source is the reliable answer.
- Very high humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters in a climate where mineral products fail quickly.
- A long supply route
Five days by road, confirmed before dispatch, and packed for the journey rather than for a short transfer.
- Seismic and flood prone
Buildings are designed to move and often raised. A build-up must respect both rather than fight them.
- The housing stock
RC frame and timber construction with hard floors, built for very heavy rainfall and high humidity year round.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
04 / Room by room
Where the money goes on a Dibrugarh project
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Driers, sorters and fans running continuously in humid buildings. Enclosure at the source is the reliable answer.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 1800 x 900 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- Soundproofing materials, Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing
-
Low frequency
Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters in a climate where mineral products fail quickly.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 20 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
- Soundproofing materials, ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
-
Early reflections
Controlled at the mix position, and only there. Five days by road, confirmed before dispatch, and packed for the journey rather than for a short transfer.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 100 kg per cubic metre
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request
- Soundproofing materials, 2100 kg per cubic metre. 2.5 mm STC 30 at 5.25 kg per sq m, 4 mm STC 34 at 8.4, 6 mm at 12.6
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Conditions
The Dibrugarh climate decides the material list
Dibrugarh is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Dibrugarh project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Before you buy
What we watch go wrong on jobs like this
-
Buying foam to solve an isolation problem
It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.
-
Treating the room before the shell is isolated
This is the one that comes back as a second fit-out rather than a snag.
-
Killing the room completely and calling it controlled
We would rather calculate the area and sell you less of it than line every surface and call it thorough.
-
Treating it as a generic Dibrugarh job
Driers, sorters and fans running continuously in humid buildings. Enclosure at the source is the reliable answer.
05 / Logistics
What the route into Dibrugarh actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| Support | Drawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly twenty two hundred kilometres, normally five days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Dibrugarh projects
What makes recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Dibrugarh?
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room. Driers, sorters and fans running continuously in humid buildings. Enclosure at the source is the reliable answer.
Where should the budget go first on a Dibrugarh project?
Isolation. A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Low frequency. Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam.
Do you have an office or installation team in Dibrugarh?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Dibrugarh. We give you drawings, build-ups, a BOQ and material that arrives complete, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs a local contractor we cannot be.
How does material get to a Dibrugarh site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What goes wrong most often on this kind of project?
Buying foam to solve an isolation problem. Treating the room before the shell is isolated.
What do you need from us to quote?
A plan, a section through the critical partition or ceiling, and what the room is for. From that we can give a build-up and a BOQ rather than a price per square foot.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
