🔇 Can a small opening in your ceiling let noise travel between floors?
Potlights require openings in the ceiling, and those openings can become pathways for sound.
That's why we built a soundproofing backer box using:
✅ 1 layer of OSB
✅ 1 layer of 5/8" drywall
Then we put it to the test! 🔊
We tested it with the box closed, then opened it to compare the noise levels.
🎥 Watch until the end to hear the difference!
Most homeowners think soundproofing is just about insulation. But even small openings in your ceiling can affect sound isolation between floors.
The best time to reduce noise? BEFORE the drywall goes up.
