Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Manesar
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 and content rooms go into builder floors and commercial units with neighbours on every side and a generator in the lane.
- 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.

01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Manesar job
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 and content rooms go into builder floors and commercial units with neighbours on every side and a generator in the lane.
Work reaching us from Manesar is mostly automotive and component plants, QC and test rooms, corporate offices, training rooms, canteens.
- Continuous machinery Presses, robots and conveyors run all shift. The fix is enclosure and barrier at the source, not absorption at the far wall.
- Test and measurement rooms NVH and QC rooms need a low background before any measurement means anything. That is isolation work with a written target.
- An hour from the plant Short road run, so samples arrive next day and full loads are cheap to move.
- 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 Manesar.
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 Manesar, dense industrial belts mean compressors, presses, generator sets and blower plant sit close to offices and canteens.
Behind a fabric frame. Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
-
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 Manesar, 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
Acoustic panels
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look. In Manesar, classrooms are concrete and tile with bare walls and high ceilings, and class sizes push levels up. Corridors act as reverberation chambers that feed every room off them.
Mixed finish. Plain felt where it is out of eye line, printed or grooved where it is seen.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Manesar do to the specification
- Continuous machinery
Presses, robots and conveyors run all shift. The fix is enclosure and barrier at the source, not absorption at the far wall.
- Test and measurement rooms
NVH and QC rooms need a low background before any measurement means anything. That is isolation work with a written target.
- An hour from the plant
Short road run, so samples arrive next day and full loads are cheap to move.
- Training and briefing rooms
Rooms where instructions have to be understood over plant noise need intelligibility, not just less echo.
- The housing stock
Builder floors and RC frame apartments with tile and stone floors, often built floor by floor for separate households.
- The studio and content scene
Studios and content rooms go into builder floors and commercial units with neighbours on every side and a generator in the lane.
04 / Room by room
Space by space, for Manesar briefs
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Presses, robots and conveyors run all shift. The fix is enclosure and barrier at the source, not absorption at the far wall.

- Soundproofing materials, 1800 x 900 x 20 mm, 100 kg per cubic metre, NRC 0.85
- Soundproof curtains, 5.5 kg per sq m
-
Low frequency
Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam. NVH and QC rooms need a low background before any measurement means anything. That is isolation work with a written target.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 20 mm
- Soundproofing materials, Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing
- Soundproof curtains, Up to 30 dB
-
Early reflections
Controlled at the mix position, and only there. Short road run, so samples arrive next day and full loads are cheap to move.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 100 kg per cubic metre
- Soundproofing materials, ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Soundproof curtains, 30
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 / Conditions
Durability in Manesar, before acoustics is discussed
Manesar is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Before you buy
Six mistakes that turn into a second fit-out
-
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
It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.
-
Killing the room completely and calling it controlled
A room can be over-treated. Past the target it stops sounding controlled and starts sounding dead, and you paid for that.
-
Treating it as a generic Manesar job
Presses, robots and conveyors run all shift. The fix is enclosure and barrier at the source, not absorption at the far wall.
05 / Logistics
Supply into Manesar, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| 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.
Same day or next day by road from Palwal. Small consignments go on a shared vehicle, full loads on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Manesar projects
What makes recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Manesar?
Studios and content rooms go into builder floors and commercial units with neighbours on every side and a generator in the lane. Presses, robots and conveyors run all shift. The fix is enclosure and barrier at the source, not absorption at the far wall.
Where should the budget go first on a Manesar 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 Manesar?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Manesar. 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 Manesar site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: a day, 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
Send the drawings, get a straight answer
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.
