Quiet starts at the door.
Most noise enters a room through the gaps around its door. We seal them — supplied, installed and measured by MUTE.
No wall work, no construction. A surface-mounted seal kit for existing timber and steel doors, fitted by our team and verified with a before-and-after sound measurement.

01 · Where noise gets in
Your walls are fine. Your door isn't.
A standard interior door leaves gaps at the floor, the sides and the head. Sound behaves like water — wherever there's a gap, it gets through. Sealing those gaps is the single most effective upgrade in most apartments and offices.

Noise pathSealStructure
(I)
The floor gap
The largest leak in almost every door. Closed by the automatic drop seal, which lowers onto the floor as the door shuts and lifts clear when it opens.
(II)
Sides and head
Closed by the perimeter frame seal — a silicone profile in an anodised aluminium housing, fixed to the existing frame.
(III)
The door leaf itself
Hollow-core doors let more through than solid ones. We'll tell you honestly if the leaf needs upgrading. Talk to our engineers →

Every install, measured.
We measure the room before and after fitting with a calibrated NTI XL2 analyser, and hand you the numbers. These are real doors in Dubai homes and offices.

04 · Two different problems
Blocking sound is not the same as absorbing it.
Soundproofing stops sound travelling between rooms. Acoustic panels stop sound echoing inside a room. Most people need one — some need both. Here's how to tell.
Acoustic panels will not stop your neighbour's TV. A door seal will not fix an echoey meeting room.

05 · Walls, ceilings & machinery
Building or renovating? Start earlier.
Wall and ceiling soundproofing works best when it's designed in — adding depth to a finished wall means moving sockets, losing floor space and often needing building approval. If you're at design or fit-out stage, our engineers specify the build-up with your architect and contractor.
Layer thicknesses drawn for clarity, not to scale
Mass, decoupling and seal — the three moves that make a wall quiet.
Get any one of them wrong and the wall performs like its weakest layer. We specify the full build-up, supply the materials to your contractor, and check the details on site where it matters: perimeters, service penetrations and ceiling voids.

Questions
What people ask us.
What's the difference between soundproofing and acoustic panels?
Soundproofing blocks sound travelling between rooms and is measured in dB reduction. Acoustic panels absorb sound inside a room, reducing echo, and are measured in RT60 or NRC. Most spaces need one or the other; some need both.
Will acoustic panels stop noise from my neighbours?
No. Panels absorb reflections inside your own room — they add almost no blocking. For neighbour or corridor noise, seal the door first, then look at walls if the problem persists.
How do I order?
Send a photo of your door and frame on WhatsApp. We confirm the kit fits, agree a fixed price and book the installation — usually within a few days. If you only need the kit delivered, you can also order it online.
Can I soundproof a door in a rented apartment?
Yes. The kit screws to the existing door and frame, with no wall work and no construction. If your building needs approval for changes to doors, we'll send the product sheet to your landlord or building management.
How much quieter will my room be?
It depends on the door leaf, the size of the gaps and how much noise travels around through walls or vents. The installs on this page show typical results. We measure your door before and after fitting, so you see your own number.
Does the kit work on any door?
It fits solid timber, hollow-core and steel doors, closing a floor gap of 3–12 mm and a frame gap of 0–10 mm. Send us a photo of the door and frame on WhatsApp and we'll confirm before you order.
How long does installation take, and what does it cost?
A single door takes about an hour, fitted in one visit. The kit is AED 1,095 supply only, or AED 1,440 installed with a sound report. Several doors are quoted together.
Can you soundproof a whole wall or room?
Yes — walls, ceilings, room-in-room and HVAC isolation are part of our consultancy work. It is best done at design stage: adding depth to a finished wall means moving services and losing floor space, so we specify it before fit-out. Book a consultation →
