PACKSOUND™ Mass Loaded Vinyl Sheets & Sound Dampening Sheet
Quick Answer: PACKSOUND™ is a high density mass loaded vinyl sheet (2,200 kg/m³, STC 42.7) that blocks airborne and impact noise through walls, floors and ceilings without adding much thickness. It comes in 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm sheets of 5.65 sq m, is flexible enough to wrap around pipes and ducts, and is supplied across India.
Unlike thick insulation boards, PACKSOUND adds mass without taking up much space, so it works well in apartments, studios, offices and hotels where every millimetre counts. It is laid between layers of gypsum or calcium silicate board in drywall, fixed behind wall finishes, placed under floating floors or draped over ceiling frames. Joints are overlapped and sealed so sound cannot leak through gaps. The sheet is flexible enough to wrap around pipes, ducts and machine enclosures to cut mechanical noise. For the best result we recommend using it with acoustic insulation and sealed edges, and our team can share tested build-ups for walls, floors and ceilings.

Sound Dampening Sheet | Mass Loaded Vinyl
In the realm of contemporary soundproofing solutions, PackSound by Ecotone Acoustic Limited represents a cutting-edge innovation that outshines traditional sound-dampening sheets like mass-loaded vinyl sheets to provide superior noise control. Unlike conventional materials that focus solely on sound dampening or sound blocking, PackSound embodies a hybrid approach, combining the best attributes of sound-dampening sheets and mass-loaded vinyl sheet. Its advanced composition, often incorporating dense rubber, specialized foams, and other proprietary materials, not only effectively dampens and absorbs sound waves but also significantly diminishes noise transmission. PackSound sheets offer an unparalleled ability to manage various frequencies of sound, making them highly efficient in controlling and reducing noise levels across a wide spectrum other then mass-loaded vinyl sheets. This unique amalgamation of sound absorption and blocking capabilities places PackSound at the forefront of modern soundproofing technologies, making it an ideal choice for those seeking optimal noise control in diverse settings, whether it’s residential, commercial, or industrial environments.

A sound dampening sheet such as mass loaded vinyl adds heavy, flexible mass to a wall, floor or ceiling without making it much thicker. PACKSOUND mass loaded vinyl sheets come in 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm, so you can match the weight to the noise you need to block.
Packsound – The Noise Challenge refers to a situation where individuals or communities are faced with excessive and disruptive levels of noise. Noise, in this context, refers to unwanted or unpleasant sounds that can be detrimental to people’s health, well-being, and quality of life.
Noise pollution has become a significant concern in many urban areas and even some rural regions. It can originate from various sources such as traffic, construction sites, industrial activities, public events, loud music, and even neighbors. Constant exposure to high noise levels can lead to a range of negative effects, including stress, sleep disturbances, hearing loss, impaired concentration, and decreased productivity.
WHY PACKSOUND IS BETTER THAN MASS LOADED VINYL SHEETS
One of the standout features of Packsound is its exceptional effectiveness in controlling noise. It not only surpasses the performance of traditional sound-dampening sheet by absorbing and dampening sound waves but also outperforms MLV sheets in its ability to significantly reduce noise transmission across different frequencies. Packsound’s comprehensive noise control abilities make it highly versatile and ideal for a wide range of applications, both indoors and outdoors.

TYPES OF NOISE IN BUILDINGS
Airborne noise refers to sound that travels through the air and is transmitted from one area to another. It can originate from sources such as conversations, music, televisions, or outside traffic. Airborne noise can be particularly bothersome in shared spaces or between adjacent rooms or apartments.
Impact noise, on the other hand, is caused by the direct impact of an object on a surface, resulting in vibrations that transmit sound. Examples of impact noise include footsteps, moving furniture, or objects being dropped on the floor. Impact noise can be particularly disruptive in multi-story buildings or spaces with thin flooring materials.
Equipment noise refers to the sounds generated by various mechanical or electrical devices within a building. This can include HVAC systems, generators, pumps, or appliances. Equipment noise can be intrusive and contribute to an overall noisy environment, affecting comfort and productivity.
