Hush NYC: 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.
EXCELLENT Based on 49 reviews Posted on Julia GordonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really amazing outcome with Hush Soundproofing. I moved into a condo right next to the BQE and could not sleep because of the noise. Hush soundproofed the master bedroom and the difference is unbelievable. The traffic is almost imperceptible, where before I could hear the difference between every engine. For me it was a necessary investment and I’m so pleased at the result!Posted on Adam JudaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a great job reducing the inbound sound in my primary bedroom (ceiling and walls). The project completed on-time, under-quote, and the communication and expectation setting from Ned throughout was top notch!Posted on Mayur BhameTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of working with Hush Soundproofing on a project at NYU, where they installed a customized sound attenuation enclosure in one of our labs. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional expertise in acoustics, ensuring that the soundproofing was not only effective but also tailored to our specific needs. Their team was highly professional and detail-oriented throughout the process. The quality of materials used was outstanding resulting in a final product that exceeded our expectations. A special mention to Ned, who was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and always available whenever we needed assistance. I highly recommend Hush Soundproofing for anyone looking for top-tier soundproofing solutions.Posted on Guy EilamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wall and front door soundproofing project done with Hush and was extremely impressed with both the results and Ned and his team throughout the process. The soundproofing on both the wall and door was more effective than I expected, not only blocking noise from next door but also absorbing other ambient sounds, making my space much quieter and less distracting. Ned and his team were highly knowledgeable and professional, paying close attention to every detail to ensure the job was done well, on time, and with minimal disruption. Ned was also very responsive and available whenever I had questions or concerns, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone!Posted on Ali HarunaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Man Another 5 stars for Hush Soundproofing. They get things done. got some work done a while ago and whenever needed, the customer service by Ned and his team is Amazing! Appreciate doing business with this company!Posted on Mary CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PEACE. AT. LAST. TL;DR: I hired Hush Soundproofing to insulate the hollow party wall (interior) between my apartment and the neighbor. The results are excellent. I highly recommend Ned and his team at Hush Soundproofing. For a very detailed review, please continue reading! For more than 20 years, I treated my apartment like a ‘starter apartment’. Coming to accept that it’s not temporary, I decided it was time to make improvements and the #1 priority was serenity. For these 2+ decades, I have referred to my next-door neighbor as my invisible roommate. I could hear everything: full conversations, TV, coughing, sneezing, you name it. One example: my neighbor would walk in, turn on the TV and then get on the phone. Since he couldn’t hear the other person so well over the TV, he’d turn the phone volume all the way up. I could hear him, the TV and the person on the phone. During the day, I would have to turn on jazz in order to concentrate on work. In the evenings, I had to use white noise in order to hear my own TV over the din from next door. It became unbearable. Because I lived with this for so many years, I had done my research. I KNEW the only way to resolve the noise between apartments is decoupling the walls. When I came across Hush Soundproofing and watched Ned’s video, I was confident they were the right team. Doing my due diligence, I spoke with another soundproofing company. They were more expensive. And they told me that my job was too small for them (rude.). Small to them. Huge to me. I think this is really key about Ned, he cares about his clients. He wants to bring them peace. He knows how maddening and disruptive noise can be, and he wants his clients to be happy in their homes (or offices, studios). From the time that I first contacted him through the job, everything progressed forward, consistently and in an organized fashion. I very much appreciated Hush Soundproofing’s contract and process. I felt that both parties were protected. Hush Soundproofing is licensed and insured and there was no issue getting the COI from Ned (crucial for co-ops). Ned did sound testing / measurement before and after. He was very honest that the soundproofing would not be 100% and he wanted to manage my expectations. But I would estimate that it is 90% improved. Please take note… sound-engineered drywall attached to your existing wall with green glue does not work. I know this from personal experience. The team respected the building’s work hours and was on-site and ready to start as soon as permitted. They did not stay past time and cleaned each day before they left. The work was done in the exact amount of time estimated and within the budget. The work was excellent. AND as they were skim coating the wall, they saw that the space around my radiator had gaping holes. Out of nowhere, they just patched it. They didn’t have to do this. They just saw something broken and fixed it. Ned kept in communication with me throughout the process. He truly cared about the outcome for me and called a few weeks later to see how life was in my space. As I noted above, it’s 90% improved. We weren’t able to do the full treatment in the hallway due to space restrictions. We also could not treat the space under the floors. Ned had identified all the areas that noise was traveling through, into my apartment. So those spaces where we didn’t apply the full treatment is where some noise finds its way in, but again, this is a minimal amount of noise. Right now, I have angels as my upstairs neighbors, but when they decide to move, I will be calling Ned and Hush Soundproofing to soundproof the bedroom ceiling. I am so happy that I invested in soundproofing, it has genuinely improved my life, and that I chose Hush Soundproofing to do the job. I recommend Ned and Hush Soundproofing without hesitation.Posted on Kelsey FalterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with HUSH was an incredible experience. Ned worked with me to design and execute a custom sound booth under an existing loft which now is being used for voiceover recording. We then worked with Ned again to do custom designed ceiling baffles to move sound through a large open loft space in an old building. If you’re looking to create something that both achieves your sound goals and is thoughtfully considered from beginning to end, I highly recommend Hush. Ned is one of a kind. Both Ned and his team consistency approached difficult challenges with an old building with a willingness to work with the issues and come up with creative solutions that exceeded expectations.Posted on Stephen PetraeusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a great job soundproofing doors, and were able to schedule and complete the job quickly!Posted on Annie TsangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Ned to identify solutions to reduce some of the noises that are coming through our wall from the elevator shaft back in 2022. Ned was very communicative and very respectful. He answered all of our questions and did the best he can to find a solution for us. The work was also done quickly and beautifully. It’s 2024 and we’re still in communication with Ned, as we’re trying to navigate issues with our building management. Ned has been a tremulous resource and support for us.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
