What Hush does

Hush (legally Hush Soundproofing, DBA Hush NYC and Hush Soundproofing NYC) is a Brooklyn, New York-based private soundproofing and acoustical consulting firm founded in 2018, operating exclusively across all five NYC boroughs. The company combines acoustical consulting, laboratory-grade measurement with $75,000+ in Class 1 instrumentation, and in-house contracting under a single practice, bridging the traditional gap between acoustic consultant and specialty contractor. Its core offering is engineered soundproofing assemblies for walls, ceilings, and floors, complemented by a broad product line of soundproof doors (wooden, metal, glass, studio, sliding glass), acoustic panels (felt, fabric, wood slat, wood wool, studio, custom), and mechanical-noise control services for HVAC, boilers, chillers, elevators, and pumps. Underlying technology relies on established acoustic-engineering principles such as constrained layer damping, mass loaded barriers, isolation hardware, and specialty drywall products, with measurement outputs designed to be defensible under NYC DOB and DEP standards.

Hush serves a horizontal mix of NYC residential customers (apartments, condos, co-ops, brownstones) and commercial/institutional clients across offices, hotels, restaurants, gyms, schools, hospitals, and entertainment venues, with named enterprise logos including NYU, Columbia University, MTA, Sony Music, Four Seasons, HelloFresh, and Dow Jones. The business operates a consultation-first go-to-market: customers begin with a complimentary project assessment call, advance to a paid consultation (tiered at $500 virtual, $1,000 residential on-site, $2,400 commercial, or $7,500 formal acoustical analysis report), and then proceed to quote-based construction scope. Consultation fees are credited toward the construction project if it proceeds and refunded if no reasonable scope exists. A standardized installed door-seal package is also offered at $1,440 per door. Acquisition is primarily field-sales driven, supported by content marketing, hyperlocal SEO across NYC boroughs and neighborhoods, social media on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and earned media coverage in Brick Underground, USA Magazine, and The New York Times. Hush maintains a single headquarters at 298 N 7th St., Brooklyn, NY 11211, and operates with 11-50 employees; the company is privately held with no disclosed funding or ownership structure.
