This guide will walk you through the best techniques and materials to achieve an effective soundproofing solution.

Why Soundproof Your Boat?

Reduce Engine & Machinery Noise – Lower the sound of engines, generators, and pumps for a more pleasant experience.

Improve Comfort – Create a peaceful environment inside the cabin by blocking out water slaps and external noises.

Enhance Privacy – Reduce sound transfer between rooms for better communication and relaxation.

Increase Resale Value – A well-soundproofed boat can be a strong selling point.

Step-by-Step Guide to Soundproofing Your Boat

1. Soundproof the Boats Walls & Ceilings

Boats often have thin walls that let in a lot of noise. Here’s how to reduce it:

Apply Tecsound 50 Self-Adhesive Membrane

• Peel and stick directly onto the wall or ceiling surface.
• It’s lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for boats.
• Reduces airborne noise and vibrations effectively.

Install Rockwool RW5 Acoustic Wool

• Cut the Rockwool to fit inside the wall and ceiling cavities.
• It absorbs sound and improves thermal insulation.
• Secure it in place before covering with wall panels.

Seal Around Fixtures & Gaps

• Use Acoustic Putty Pads around electrical sockets to prevent sound leaks.
• Fill any small gaps with Acoustic Sealant for airtight soundproofing.

2. Soundproof the Boats Floor

Boats often have hard, resonant flooring that amplifies noise. Adding acoustic underlays can help:

For General Soundproofing: Use 6mm Acoustic Rubber Underlay

• Lay the underlay beneath your chosen flooring material.
• Helps reduce airborne and impact noise.
• Suitable for cabins, corridors, and general living areas.

For Extra Performance: Use GenieMat Underlay

• If you need additional soundproofing (e.g., near the engine room), GenieMat provides superior impact noise reduction.
• Place it under flooring for the best results.

3. Seal Any Remaining Gaps

Small gaps and cracks can let noise through, reducing the effectiveness of your soundproofing.

• Use Acoustic Sealant to fill in gaps around panels, joints, and edges.
• Check Doors & Windows – If noise still seeps in, consider weather stripping or acoustic door seals.

Additional Tips for Maximum Noise Reduction

• Consider Adding Soft Furnishings – Curtains, carpets, and upholstered panels help absorb sound and reduce echo inside the cabin.
• Engine Compartment Treatment – If engine noise is an issue, apply additional Tecsound 50 inside the engine bay.
• Check for Vibrations – Loose fittings and metal parts can create unwanted noise. Secure them properly to avoid rattling.
• Maintain Regularly – Over time, sealants and underlays may wear down. Keep them in good condition for lasting results.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce noise levels on your boat, making your time on the water much more peaceful and enjoyable. For the best results, always use high-quality soundproofing materials designed for marine environments.
