Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Udaipur
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 you are buying, and what it fixes in Udaipur
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 Udaipur is mostly hotels and resorts, banquet and event halls, restaurants, guest rooms, offices, clinics.
- Event halls are the product A banquet space has to hold amplified music and let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
- Guest rooms need isolation, not treatment Corridor noise and the room next door cause more complaints than the room acoustics. Door and wall details do that work.
- Heritage fabric stays The structure usually cannot change, so everything has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible.
- 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 Udaipur.
02 / The build-up
What goes where, from the structure in
-
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 Udaipur, 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
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 Udaipur, palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.
Mixed finish. Plain felt where it is out of eye line, printed or grooved where it is seen.
-
Layer 3
Soundproof curtains
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. In Udaipur, school buildings are stone and concrete with high ceilings and courtyards that amplify break time noise.
Track with a seal. Ceiling track plus a floor seal or drape, so the perimeter is closed when it is drawn.
Architects working in Udaipur 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 / In this market
What the buildings in Udaipur do to the specification
- Event halls are the product
A banquet space has to hold amplified music and let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
- Guest rooms need isolation, not treatment
Corridor noise and the room next door cause more complaints than the room acoustics. Door and wall details do that work.
- Heritage fabric stays
The structure usually cannot change, so everything has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible.
- Season dates do not move
Wedding season is fixed. We give real dispatch and transit dates so the fit-out is not waiting on a truck.
- 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.
04 / Room by room
What each space in a Udaipur project needs
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. A banquet space has to hold amplified music and let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 1800 x 900 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- Acoustic panels, Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
-
Low frequency
Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam. Corridor noise and the room next door cause more complaints than the room acoustics. Door and wall details do that work.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 20 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
-
Early reflections
Controlled at the mix position, and only there. The structure usually cannot change, so everything has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 100 kg per cubic metre
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request
- Acoustic panels, 9 to 24 mm, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, up to 2440 x 4270 mm, 1200 to 3600 GSM
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate
The Udaipur climate decides the material list
Udaipur 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.
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
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
Small on the drawing, expensive on site, and almost always found after handover.
-
Killing the room completely and calling it controlled
More absorption is not better absorption. Past the target the room goes flat and people raise their voices to compensate.
-
Treating it as a generic Udaipur job
A banquet space has to hold amplified music and let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
05 / Route to site
What the route into Udaipur actually looks like
| 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 seven hundred and fifty kilometres, normally two days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Udaipur projects
What makes recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Udaipur?
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. A banquet space has to hold amplified music and let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
Where should the budget go first on a Udaipur 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 Udaipur?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Udaipur. 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 Udaipur 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.
