Soundproofing Yacht Cabins and Engine Rooms
Overview
Modern yachts deserve modern acoustics. Our advanced soundproofing solutions cut machinery rumble, structural vibration, and exterior noise so owners and guests enjoy true onboard calm—without compromising weight, access, or aesthetics.
At yachtservice.me, we design, install, and maintain turnkey marine acoustic systems for cabins, salons, crew areas, and engine rooms.

At yachtservice.me, we design, install, and maintain turnkey marine acoustic systems for cabins, salons, crew areas, and engine rooms.
Key Benefits
Superior noise reduction
Engine, generator, and HVAC noise reduced by up to 90% in treated zones*; exterior sounds (wind, waves, marina) significantly attenuated for restful nights and focused work.
Comfort & privacy
Quieter cabins and salons, reduced sound transfer between spaces, and more enjoyable charters.
Custom, marine-grade integration
Lightweight, moisture-resistant materials that blend with interiors and allow service access.
Protection & value
Vibration control lowers mechanical wear; quieter operation enhances charter appeal and resale.
*Actual results depend on vessel design and scope of treatment.
What We Install
Survey & Noise Mapping
SPL measurements underway/at anchor, source-path analysis, thermal and access constraints.
Design & Material Spec
CAD/mark-ups, weight/space budgets, fire & IMO compliance, serviceability planning.
Installation
Clean prep, panel removal, CLD treatment, barrier/decoupler layering, vibration isolation, precision sealing.
Commissioning
Before/after measurements, fine-tuning, crew briefing for care and access.
Maintenance & Support
Periodic inspections, performance checks, and upgrade paths as systems evolve.
Typical Problem → Solution
Will this affect maintenance access?
No. We design with removable panels and labelled service routes.
How long does installation take?
From 2–10 days for most scopes, depending on area count and access.
Can you prove the improvement?
Yes—baseline and post-install SPL measurements are included in commissioning.
Next Steps
Contact yachtservice.me to design and install a custom soundproofing system for your cabins and engine room. We deliver measurable results, elegant finishes, and long-term support.

What We Install
- Constrained-Layer Damping (CLD): Self-adhesive viscoelastic tiles for hull plates, bulkheads, and machinery housings to convert vibration into heat (non-flammable, marine-rated).
- Mass-Loaded Vinyl (MLV) Barriers: Flexible sound barriers (2–5 kg/m²) behind panels, headliners, and floors to block transmission paths.
- Acoustic Composites: Multi-layer panels combining MLV, closed-cell foam, and decouplers for walls/ceilings with minimal thickness.
- Vibration Isolation: Engine mounts, resilient hangers, anti-vibration pads for pumps, gensets, compressors.
- Sealing & Detailing: Acoustic caulk, gaskets, fire-rated hatches, cable/pipe penetrations treated for airtight continuity.
- Floor & Underlayment Systems: Decoupled subfloors and acoustic underlay for footsteps and structure-borne noise.

Maintenance & Support
Periodic inspections, performance checks, and upgrade paths as systems evolve.
Typical Problem → Solution
- Engine/generator roar through the hull → CLD on plating + MLV composite on bulkheads + isolated mounts.
- Noise between cabins & salons → Decoupled partitions, perimeter seals, acoustic doors where required.
- Wind/wave and marina clatter → Headliner composites, window/port sealing, floor underlayment.
- HVAC & pump hum → Resilient hangers, soft-connections, anti-vibration bases, flexible couplings.
- Cabin Quiet Pack – Targeted treatment for owner/guest cabins (walls, headliner, door seals, floor underlayment).
- Engine-Room Pro – CLD across engine room surfaces, barrier/absorber composites, lined doors, upgraded mounts.
- Silent Suite (Full-Vessel) – End-to-end acoustic design covering cabins, salons, crew areas, machinery, and deck paths.
- Weight-conscious design (typ. +2.5–6.0 kg/m² in treated areas)
- Moisture/UV/salt-resistant, low-VOC, fire-rated materials
- Serviceability preserved with removable panels and marked access points
- Compatible with refits and newbuilds
