Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Jodhpur
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.

What this material is and where it earns its place in Jodhpur
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 Jodhpur is mostly furniture and stone workshops, heritage hotels, restaurants, offices, schools, clinics.
- Stone and wood workshops Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
- Heritage rooms are hard and tall Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- You often cannot alter the building In a heritage property the structure stays. Work has to be internal, shallow and reversible, which rules out most thick framed systems.
- 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 Jodhpur.
02 / The build-up
The stack, in the order it is installed
-
Layer 1
Acoustic foam and BassBloc
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing. In Jodhpur, 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.
Corner loading. Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
-
Layer 2
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Jodhpur, palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.
Floor, floating. Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
-
Layer 3
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 Jodhpur, school buildings are stone and concrete with high ceilings and courtyards that amplify break time noise.
Independent leaf. A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.

What we see driving Jodhpur briefs
- Stone and wood workshops
Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
- Heritage rooms are hard and tall
Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- You often cannot alter the building
In a heritage property the structure stays. Work has to be internal, shallow and reversible, which rules out most thick framed systems.
- Dry heat does not affect the material
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and rooms that get genuinely hot.
- The housing stock
Stone and RC construction with stone floors throughout, in a dry dusty climate where dust ingress matters more than damp.
- 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.

Where the money goes on a Jodhpur project
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest 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. Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- 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. In a heritage property the structure stays. Work has to be internal, shallow and reversible, which rules out most thick framed systems.
- 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
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate
What the Jodhpur climate rules in and rules out
Jodhpur is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
On a Jodhpur job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.

The six errors that cost the most
-
Buying foam to solve an isolation problem
This is the one that comes back as a second fit-out rather than a snag.
-
Treating the room before the shell is isolated
It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.
-
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 Jodhpur job
Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
05 / Logistics
Getting it to Jodhpur, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two 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 six hundred kilometres, normally two days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Jodhpur projects
What makes recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Jodhpur?
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. Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
Where should the budget go first on a Jodhpur 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 Jodhpur?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Jodhpur. 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 Jodhpur site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two 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
Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
