Sound Isolation Clips / Decoupling Clips
To properly isolate, we want to start with decoupled framing. This can be accomplished by using Soundproofing Clips and Drywall Furring Channel (Hat Channel / Track). This system performs two main functions. First, because rows are spaced in rows 24″ apart (generally), the drywall is attached with far fewer contact areas. Second, Soundproofing Clips and Drywall Furring Channel are resilient. They allow a wall to flex, and this increases sound isolation as well as lowering the troublesome primary low-frequency resonance point.
How Soundproofing Clips Work
The second important feature of the resilient clip and channel array is the introduction of resilience. Because the Drywall Furring Channel is attached every 48” by a resilient clip, the 48” span is allowed to flex slightly. This flex is critical to the systems overall performance.

Quick Installation Instructions
- Install RSIC-1 at a maximum of 48 inches on center. (horizontal)
- Fasten the RSIC-1 to the substrate with a fastener approved for a minimum pull-out and shear of 120 lbs.
- Ensure the internal metal Ferrell is tight to the substrate.
- Locate the first row of RSIC-1 clips within 3 inches from the floor and within 6 inches from the ceiling.
- Snap in the Drywall Furring Channel into the RSIC-1 clips.
- Install the gypsum board. Fill any gap with acoustical caulk.
- Remove the shims after all gypsum board is completely screwed to hat channels.
- Caulk around the entire perimeter of the gypsum board. Use fire and smoke rated acoustical sealant where required.

Soundproofing Solutions
Soundproofing Floors
Noisy floors are a significant and growing issue as more people are opting for hard surface flooring. This creates distinct soundproofing challenges. We offer solutions tailored to your commercial or residential needs.
Soundproofing Ceilings
Impact noise coming through a ceiling is one of the worst soundproofing problems. A footfall imparts a violent level of energy into the ceiling. We offer ceiling solutions to quiet even the most problematic footfall noise.
Soundproofing Walls
Shared interior walls don't offer much in the way of sound isolation. There are good approaches and bad, and you only want to do this once. Our lab-certified wall solutions will help ensure you get it right the first time.
