Take a look at the system’s features and benefits.
MuteClip System
Our MuteClip Systems reduce the most noise in the smallest footprint.

NOISE REDUCTION
Hear the difference.
Play the video to hear the sound difference before and after installing this system. For best results try to match the volume of the unreduced audio to the volume of the noise you’re able to hear.
The noise in the video has been digitally reduced to give you an idea of the sorts of results you could expect. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect science and your personal results could vary due to myriad reasons. However, we have found our customers prefer to hear a decibel reduction rather than read it!
We stand for quality, and we are proud of it.
MuteClip® Double is our slim and effective option for projects that require a wall soundproofing solution that performs at a high standard and is space-conscious with only a 74mm loss of space when fitting to an already existing stud frame or in addition to the new framework without a brick or block construction.
It creates lesser points of contact with the stud frame using our MuteClip®, which is composed of a dual-density rubber in a galvanised metal case – acting as a mini shock absorber. The MuteClip® Channel affixes to the MuteClip®, and the new soundproof wall which is composed of a single layer of dense Acoustic Plasterboard 15mm suspended away from the framework, ultimately resulting in a greatly improved reduction of airborne noise, especially in the more problematic lower to middle-lower frequencies, as well as reducing immediate vibrations.
Soundproofing for stud walls
Soundproofing stud walls can be highly effective. Most existing stud walls are made of lightweight materials and may not even have any insulation to help soundproofing. This might not sound like great news at first but it means that the improvement that can be made can be quite drastic.
For the top level of soundproofing on a stud wall, we recommend the MuteClip Stud Double. This system works by creating a new ‘independent’ frame to attach plasterboard to. To install this frame firstly you screw the MuteClip isolation clip into the existing stud frame. These clever clips have a silicone surround to isolate the new frame and reduce noise vibrations travelling through the old wall into the new frame.
Once your MuteClips are installed you can click the metal channels into them creating a frame that you can attach plasterboard to. In this system, however, we attach a layer of sound-dampening Tecsound sandwiched between two layers of high-density acoustic plasterboard. The finished product is the gold standard of stud wall soundproofing.

Our team are always a phone call away ready to offer advice and support. Our systems can be installed by competent DIYers but if you would like to work with an installer we have relationships with installers up and down the UK that we can put you in touch with.
MuteClip Double Stud Calculator
Use our handy calculator to see what soundproofing products your project will require. Don’t forget to unfold the ‘more info’ tab below to learn how to use this calculator.
Once you have your calculator results you can add all the products to your basket using the button below. You will have to manually input the results from the calculator. We know this is not ideal and we are looking into developing a solution for this.
Wall Stud Center
The wall stud center is the distance between stud uprights. The typical stud upright is 600mm. If you are working directly on a brick wall we recommend using a 600mm spacing here also.
Wall Channel Center
The wall channel center is the distance between the horizontal MuteClip Channels. The typical channel center is 600mm. If you are working directly on a brick wall we recommend using a 600mm spacing here also.
- If you have multiple adjacent surfaces or partitions to soundproof input them individually. Not as a total m2 input as this will affect the results.
- If you have windows, fireplaces or other fixed structures we recommend booking a call with us before purchasing.
- This calculator is designed to give a quick estimate. If you require an accurate quotation please call our team.
