Green Glue Noiseproofing Clip
The Green Glue Noiseproofing Clip delivers dependable acoustic isolation through its engineered rubber mount and stable load-bearing design. Compatible with standard 25-gauge hat channel, it reduces vibration transfer, improves STC performance, and provides a reliable, installer-friendly solution for high-performance soundproof wall and ceiling assemblies.
- Effective Board Isolation: Rubber-mount decoupling breaks the direct path between drywall and framing to hold real-world STC gains under Type X drywall stacks.
- Strong Testing Backing: Green Glue publishes third-party STC/IIC data across the assemblies its clip is specified in — the numbers behind our Better/Best walls come from those tests.
- Stable, Low-Deflection Design: The load-bearing steel frame limits sag under double-drywall + Green Glue stacks so the isolator keeps working long after install.
- Installer-Friendly Layout: Standard fastener pattern and 24" o.c. spacing match the rest of the clips we sell — no proprietary hardware, no bespoke channel spacing.

Adds MLV over Good for a denser limp-mass layer.
Estimated STC — Planning use only
This value is an approximate assembly projection, not a project-specific assessment, certified laboratory test result or performance guarantee. Actual performance varies with the complete assembly, installation, flanking paths, penetrations and site conditions.
Estimates follow the Green Glue standard clip and hat-channel layout (clips ≤ 24" o.c., hat channel 24" o.c.). A 10% coverage buffer is recommended to cover cuts and re-work.

- STC 30-39: Loud speech clearly audible next room.
- STC 40-49: Loud speech muffled — normal residential wall.
- STC 50-59: Loud speech barely audible; suitable for offices & multi-family.
- STC 60+: Approaches studio-grade isolation.
