Hello, forum members!
I want to share my experience — maybe it will be useful to someone. I live in Melbourne near a busy road, and the constant noise from the street really prevented me from relaxing at home. Especially at night: trucks, motorcycles, conversations — everything seemed to be happening in my room.
I decided that it was time to change something, and started looking for soundproofing options. I settled on installing drywall structures with additional soundproofing. I contacted the company PlasterX https://www.plasterx.melbourne/ — they have a good reputation and, as it turned out, a truly professional approach.
The guys did everything promptly: they consulted, offered a solution for my budget, used high-quality materials and met record deadlines. Now the apartment is quiet — really like a library. I didn’t even think that the effect would be so noticeable.
If anyone has encountered a similar problem, I recommend considering the option with plasterboard. Especially if you work from home or simply value comfort and peace.
PlasterX specializes in solutions of any complexity - and if you want to do more than just "stick up the walls" but do everything professionally, then you definitely need to go to them.
By the way, has anyone else tried plasterboard for soundproofing? What was the result?
I'd be happy to chat and share details!
