Soundproofing internal brick wall

Soundproofing internal brick wall

I am just wondering what methods I could use to soundproof or at least dampen sound coming from toilets in my home. One toilet wall backs onto a guest bedroom, the other internal toilet backs on to the main lounge room. The noises can be errr.... audible and embarrasing when you have visitors !

 

Would using ceramic tiling from floor to ceiling height in the toilet work or am I better using a thick wallper to make a feature wall in the bedroom or lounge ? 

 

I googled this problem and there seem to be some pricey products in the USA, for use on those wooden stud frame walls but these are single brick walls.

Re: Soundproofing internal brick wall

Unfortunately you're never going to eliminate the noise completely without serious modifications..like completely filling all the walls with acoustic batts..

You might be able to reduce the noise a little by putting acoustic panels on the walls..
Purchase some Polymax sheets (2400 x 1200 x 50mm.thick) and make up timber frames that size and fit the Polymax inside the frames..
Then you can cover them with anything that's relatively porous, like a cloth of some sort..
You then just hang them on the walls..
That might be the cheapest way around your situation..if you haven't already fixed the problem..
