Build the drywall around the specified sound-control assembly
Sound can travel between rooms when the wall build-up does not match the project requirement. Board type alone does not describe the whole assembly; framing, adjacent spaces, and how the room is used also affect the drywall work.
Solis installs drywall as part of the specified wall build-up, with assembly details and room use guiding the work. Following the plans ties board installation to the design that calls for sound control and the surrounding wall construction.

Acoustic drywall in Olympia homes
When Olympia's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 12% Before 1940
- 13% 1940–1959
- 23% 1960–1979
- 28% 1980–1999
- 25% 2000 or later
- 1982Median year Olympia homes were built
Half of Olympia's homes were built before 1982 and half after. New walls in an existing home are finished to meet what is already there, so the home's age shapes the finish plan. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
- 24.8%of Olympia homes were built in 2000 or later
Newer homes are almost all drywall over wood framing, which keeps new work and the existing walls consistent. U.S. Census Bureau, 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimates
- PermitAlterations and repairs in Olympia
Olympia lists building alterations or repairs among work that needs a permit, while painting and similar finish work is exempt. Exempt work must still meet code. City of Olympia, what do I need
Build the specified sound-control wall
The detail says how the wall is framed, separated, insulated, boarded and sealed. We install the board layers and joint treatment shown, and coordinate outlets and penetrations with the trades that own them.

Choose the right assembly for the sound path
Voices and TV noise come through a wall. Footsteps from above come through the floor-ceiling, which needs a different assembly. Adding a layer of board to one side of a wall won't fix footstep noise, so we ask which noise bothers you before quoting.
Apartments and shared walls in Olympia
Nearly a third of Olympia's homes are in buildings with five or more units. A wall between units is usually the owner's or association's to change, so in a rental or condo the building owner approves the work.

Finish the wall without losing the design detail
Swapping channel, insulation, screws or perimeter sealant can change how the wall performs. We build what's approved and send any open question to the designer before closing. We won't quote an STC number the design doesn't carry.
Tell us what you hear and where
Text the plan detail if there is one, or a photo of the wall and a line on what you're hearing through it. We'll price the wall build and the paint-ready face.
Acoustic Drywall questions in Olympia
Can acoustic drywall make a room soundproof?
No wall is soundproof. A sound-control assembly reduces noise by what its design is rated for, provided the edges and outlets are sealed as drawn.
Does an acoustic wall rating describe upstairs impact noise?
No. Footstep noise is rated on the floor-ceiling assembly, separately from the wall.
