Unsealed outlet boxes are known sound leaks in stud wall assemblies. A wall designed for noise control will not perform to expectations when outlets are unsealed, particularly when outlets are back-to-back in the same stud cavity. Kinetics IsoBacker outlet pads can be hand formed around the back of the outlet box to prevent this common sound leakage problem in stud walls.
