Can you put soundproof foam behind drywall?
Injection foam can also be used in internal walls as well by drilling through the drywall to reduce noise from room to room.
Can you put acoustic panels behind drywall?
Soundproofing new or existing walls involves adding mass behind the walls and/or something that absorbs and dissipates sound waves. MLV is a flexible material that comes in rolls you can trim easily, and it can be sandwiched between drywall layers to significantly reduce noise transmission and deaden sounds.
Does acoustic foam tiles work?
The short answer is No. Unfortunately egg box type foam does not stop sound transferring through your wall from your neighbour or from leaving your room. All it will do is absorb some of the sound within your room and stop it echoing and amplifying. It will not block sound from neighbours or escaping out of your room.
Does soundproofing a wall work?
In answer to your question, yes you will see a reduction in noise transmission by treating the wall only. However, this will be a reduction only and will not remove noise issues completely. This is reducing the noise that is transferring directly through the problem construction.
Can foam insulation be installed in existing walls?
The answer is yes, but drywall needs to be removed before you can install the foam. Spray foam expands rapidly when it is applied to the inside of walls. In our experience, this is the only viable technique for installing insulation in existing walls without first removing the drywall.
Do acoustic foam panels block out noise?
Acoustic foam panels are designed to absorb sound waves in the room in which they are placed. They could help reduce noise coming from outside or a loud neighbor, but will not block the noise completely. If you place the foam on your side of the wall the foam will absorb some of the noise and vibrations, but not everything by any means.

What is the difference between acoustic foam and sound absorption?
Sound absorption, on the other hand, is to do with acoustics or rather minimizing reflections inside an area for better sound quality. So, by ‘acoustic’ foam, what is meant is that the foam is designed for sound absorption thereby improving the acoustics in a room.
