Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Rajkot
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.

01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Rajkot 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 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 Rajkot is mostly foundries and machining halls, engineering units, offices, colleges, hospitals, showrooms.
- Foundry noise is structural Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
- Machining halls Continuous machine noise where instructions and alarms still have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility.
- Heat inside the building PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a foundry roof void.
- 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 Rajkot.
02 / The build-up
How the layers stack, from the structure inwards
-
Layer 1
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 Rajkot, heavy industrial plant across the state, so compressors, presses and generator sets sit close to offices and canteens inside the same building.
Independent leaf. A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
-
Layer 2
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 Rajkot, 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.
Ceiling first. In most rooms the ceiling is the largest untreated surface and the cheapest square metre of result.
-
Layer 3
Soundproof curtains
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. In Rajkot, large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with assembly halls and auditoria in constant use.
Double layer at a doorway. Two curtains with an air gap where a single layer will not reach the target.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Rajkot briefs
- Foundry noise is structural
Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
- Machining halls
Continuous machine noise where instructions and alarms still have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility.
- Heat inside the building
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a foundry roof void.
- Two to three days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with samples sent ahead of the order.
- The housing stock
RC frame apartments and bungalows with stone and tile floors, in dry dusty conditions where open products collect dust.
- 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
What each space in a Rajkot project needs
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 1800 x 900 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- Soundproof curtains, 5.5 kg per sq m
-
Low frequency
Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam. Continuous machine noise where instructions and alarms still have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 20 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
- Soundproof curtains, Up to 30 dB
-
Early reflections
Controlled at the mix position, and only there. PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a foundry roof void.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 100 kg per cubic metre
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request
- Soundproof curtains, 30
For a Rajkot interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Rajkot changes the material, not the target
Rajkot 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.
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Rajkot 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
Small on the drawing, expensive on site, and almost always found after handover.
-
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 Rajkot job
Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
05 / Supply
What the route into Rajkot actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two to three days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two to three 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 one thousand kilometres, normally two to three days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Rajkot projects
What makes recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Rajkot?
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. Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
Where should the budget go first on a Rajkot 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 Rajkot?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Rajkot. 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 Rajkot site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two to three 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.
