Calculate the cost of soundproofing and sound absorption – Plan your project effectively
Planning a soundproofing or sound absorption project can be challenging, especially when it comes to getting a clear overview of the costs. By using our cost calculator, you can quickly estimate the price of the materials needed to create an optimal sound environment, whether you want to reduce noise between rooms, improve the acoustics in an open space, or create a more comfortable working environment.
This tool gives you a quick and easy overview of material costs, making it easier to plan and make informed decisions. Whether you are a professional installer or a private individual, the calculator helps you create a realistic budget and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Why use a cost calculator?
Having an accurate estimate of costs offers several advantages:
Optimized material consumption
Avoid buying too much or too little material.
Cost-effective planning
Create a realistic budget and get a clear picture of your expenses.
Easier comparison
See cost differences between different materials and solutions.
Better end result
By planning correctly from the outset, you can achieve an effective sound environment without unnecessary costs.
Having a clear picture of the costs from the outset makes it easier to carry out the project and ensure that you get maximum results with the right choice of materials.
What affects the cost of sound insulation and sound absorption?
There are several factors that affect the final cost:
Choice of materials
Soundproofing and sound-absorbing materials have different properties and price ranges.
Sound insulation
Often requires heavier and denser materials such as plaster, mineral wool, or acoustic membranes.
Sound absorption
Uses porous materials such as polyester, foam, or textiles to reduce reverberation.
The higher the performance of the material, the more effective the sound absorption – but also the higher the cost.
Installation method
Installation affects the total price of the project.
Simpler installation
Sound-absorbing panels can be mounted directly on walls or ceilings and require minimal effort.
Advanced installation
Soundproofing solutions may require multi-layer constructions or decoupled systems, which increase labor costs.
Labor costs
For larger projects, installation costs can be a significant part of the budget.
Self-installation
A cheaper solution for sound absorbers and simpler sound insulation.
Professional installation
Recommended for larger construction projects where sound requirements are higher.
Room type and existing conditions
The cost is also affected by the size and shape of the room and existing surface layers.
- Large open spaces require more material to achieve effective sound absorption.
- Rooms with hard surfaces (concrete, glass) have a greater need for sound-absorbing materials than rooms with textiles and furniture.
By comparing these factors in our cost calculator, you can get an accurate and realistic budget for your project.
How much does it cost to soundproof or sound-absorb a room?
The price of soundproofing or sound absorption varies depending on the scope of the project and the choice of materials.
Light soundproofing (simple acoustic panels)
$30–$80 per square meter.
Medium soundproofing (sound-absorbing panels, plasterboard, and mineral wool)
sEK 800–1,500 per square meter.
Advanced sound insulation (multi-layer walls, acoustic glass, professional installation)
sEK 1,500–4,000 per square meter.
By getting an accurate estimate in the cost calculator, you can see which solution best suits your budget and sound requirements.
Our cost calculator gives you a quick, accurate, and customized estimate of the cost of optimizing the sound environment in your room.
