SoundAway

What SoundAway does

SoundAway Corporation is a privately held, Vista, California-based e-commerce retailer founded in 2007 that sells soundproofing and acoustic treatment products direct to end customers across multiple U.S. market segments. The company operates as an authorized reseller and custom fabricator distributing products from multiple premium acoustic brands including SONEX (Willtec Foam) acoustic panels, Guilford of Maine acoustic fabrics, QuietSpec STC-rated studio doors, Quiescent custom soundproof windows, Green Glue damping compounds, and WhisperMat floor underlayments. Its proprietary content includes a patented RSIC isolation clip system and a configuration tool that calculates the number of acoustic panels required for a specific space.

The product catalog spans mass loaded vinyl (MLV) noise barriers, melamine and cotton acoustic panels (including Class A fire-rated and LEED-certified options), ceiling tiles, sound isolation clips, neoprene gaskets, fabric track systems, sound control blankets, and damping compounds. Higher-end engineered offerings include custom STC-rated studio doors ($3,195-$3,995) and quote-based soundproof windows (STC 45-56) representing custom fabrication capacity rather than pure distribution. Marketing is executed through content-driven SEO, an extensive technical blog, Instagram, email, and toll-free phone consultation.

SoundAway serves six primary customer segments: Hospitality (hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, healthcare), Recording Studios and Professional Audio, Residential (home theaters and home offices), Vehicles (golf carts to semi trucks), Corporate/Commercial Spaces (call centers, conference rooms), and Industrial/Facilities. Revenue mechanics are one-time product sales through the website, with bulk MLV pallet pricing ($3,380 for 20 rolls) and quote-based custom windows functioning as the highest-ASP lines. The business is founder/management-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and operations confined to the United States.
