Soundproofing services
Hush sets the standard for soundproofing in New York City. We focus exclusively on noise control in apartments and urban buildings, combining acoustical consulting, laboratory testing, and in-house contracting under one roof. From targeted wall and ceiling assemblies to full apartment sound isolation, our work is precise, engineered, and built to perform. We operate with a single focus: soundproofing for noise and vibration reduction.
Our work extends to commercial offices and professional environments where speech privacy, echo control, and mechanical noise are critical to performance. This includes HVAC systems, boiler rooms, and building mechanical infrastructure where vibration and structure borne noise must be properly controlled.

ASK A QUESTION
Ceiling Soundproofing
Ceiling soundproofing focuses on noise and vibration transmitted from above, including footfall, impact noise, and structure borne sound. Our ceiling assemblies address flanking through perpendicular rigid connections to the source, while respecting height constraints and existing building conditions.
Wall Soundproofing
Wall soundproofing is intended to reduce sound transfer between adjacent spaces. We design and install wall assemblies that limit airborne noise such as voices, music, and television, taking account of parasitic noise paths through connected structural elements.
Floor Soundproofing
Floor soundproofing targets impact noise and vibration traveling through structural elements. Our approach combines isolation, mass, and damping to reduce transmission while remaining compatible with finished flooring systems and building requirements.
Office Soundproofing
Office soundproofing improves speech privacy and acoustic comfort in professional environments. We focus on sound transmission and reverberation to support focus, confidentiality, and intelligibility in active workspaces.
How We Work
Hush NYC provides established soundproofing systems to reduce noise and vibration transmission in residential and professional environments.
Expertise and Experience
Our work is proven by years of focused soundproofing projects in New York City buildings. We approach each project with a deep understanding of how sound behaves in real structures, informed by consulting, testing, and hands on construction.
Local Knowledge
Working extensively in New York City buildings gives us a clear understanding of common construction types and recurring noise paths. That familiarity allows us to anticipate challenges and address them efficiently during installation.
Customized Solutions
Every space presents different constraints. We use established soundproofing systems and adjust them to the conditions of the building, tailoring each solution while relying on methods that have a strong track record.
Exceptional Customer Service
Our process is structured, transparent, and collaborative from start to finish. Clear communication and follow through are central to how we work, and client feedback through our reviews reflects that consistency.
High-Quality Materials:
Soundproofing performance depends on the integrity of the assemblies used. Hush NYC relies on materials and systems that have demonstrated long term reliability, selecting composite components based on data and function rather than marketing claims.
Proven Track Record
Our experience spans a wide range of residential and select commercial projects throughout the city. The results of that work are reflected in repeat clients, referrals, and long standing professional relationships.
Posted on NETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the sound of my loud music leaking from my 14' ceiling to my neighbors through the ceiling gutter (see pic). It is very difficult to reach that 14' high gutter, as there is no floor next to that brick wall, just steps to the lower floor. I had various incompetent contractors "fix the problem". Ned and his crew found an ingenious solution to reaching the gutter (see pics) and addressed the issue professionally and aesthetically.Posted on lee roseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ned was great and Victor took his time to get things just right .. they are great guys and did a great job sealing my apt door from the sounds and smells I would rather not hear and have !Posted on Kevin RiceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a professional team. I had them come out to soundproof the doors in my condo unit and wow has it made such a difference. Previously I could hear my neighbor cough if they were near their door. Ned and his team took care of sealing the doors and added automatic gaskets that seal the base of the doors when closed. So thankful for these guys. I work in real estate and I can’t tell you how many people are living with noisy apartments needlessly. Worth every penny.Posted on Kate PresburyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired Hush Soundproofing to handle some noise issues with my bar.

HUSH is an excellent service, Ned is very professional and knows his stuff. Highly recommended for your businessPosted on Adam NapackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ned and his team installed sound insulating panels in my building's machine room to help reduce noise that was reaching our apartment. He was very professional and honest on what the best options were for the cost. Overall we were very happy with the service and the install!Posted on Simon BacchusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Hush Soundproofing in the summer of 2023. We have a brownstone in park slope. The neighboring property is split into several smaller apartments. We can hear when people are speaking at slightly elevated levels, as well as music and television sound. We had Ned and his team treat our two primary bedrooms. In the 3 months since the work was completed we have not heard anything at all in those rooms. I would highly recommend Hush. Ned was great to work with, very accessible. They team was on time. Started exactly on the day they said they would be there and finished exactly on time two weeks later.Posted on Char StilesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all sorts of architectural acoustics, even for obscure building setups. Very very professional, in all interactions as well as the execution! All of the installs look slick as hell. I cannot recommend Ned and his team enough!Posted on RonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hush was the right guy for the job. Hired them for acoustical consulting services and ended up hiring them to do my studio soundproofing and treatment. Great work, luxurious vibe, prompt with timing, no nonsense gives it to you straight. Wish i would have found him before, it would have saved time and money in the end.
