| Company Description
|
Providing soundproofing and acoustic solutions for over 10 years in the GTA.Reliable Connections Inc., operating as The Soundproofing Expert since 2015, began as a contractor referral service in 2003. Over time, the company shifted into a specialized, engineering-driven consultancy focused entirely on acoustics and soundproofing. This evolution built a strong reputation for technical precision, applying the depth and discipline of a Master’s thesis to real-world projects, including the highly architectural complex and remote Fogo Island Inn. The company’s core value lies in connecting architectural design with real-world acoustics. They help clients avoid expensive fixes caused by incomplete or misleading “free” contractor quotes. The Soundproofing Expert provides independent soundproofing advice and acoustic consulting for both residential and commercial spaces. Their work includes home theatres, condominiums, offices, and other noise-sensitive environments. Services range from free phone or email consultations with a professional acoustic engineer (P.Eng.) to on-site assessments, noise investigations, construction drawing reviews, and before-and-after sound testing. They also inspect projects during construction to ensure soundproofing is installed correctly. The company is led by President Ivan Koval, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., who brings many years of hands-on experience in acoustics, sound reproduction, telephony, architectural acoustics, construction, and project management. Every project follows a clear, evidence-based process. First, client needs are defined. Then, proven sound-rated assemblies are selected using lab-tested data. Flanking noise is addressed in accordance with guidance from the National Research Council of Canada, and construction quality is verified on site. As independent consultants, the firm works solely in the client’s best interest. Serving Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area, and Southern Ontario, The Soundproofing Expert also operates the Soundproofing Calculator website, a technical resource for acoustics information and references. The company provides noise testing, remediation, and environmental noise assessments and maintains strong professional credentials.

5. Customer Testimonials
After a year of sustained excessive noise and vibration from both neighbours (townhouse), we engaged with Ivan to discuss our soundproofing options. Ivan is extremely knowledge and professional, and provided us with a number of different options to remedy the noise and vibration issues. I would highly recommend Ivan to anyone seeking assistance with noise / vibration related issues in the GTHA.
– David Ashbourne
When it came to our soundproofing project, we knew we were going to need an expert to understand what needed to be done to address noise problems with our adjoing neighbouring unit. Ivan from The Soundproofing Expert fulfilled this need and more. Not only did he provide a recommended solution complete with detailed specifications, he did so quickly, was responsive in answering our questions, helped us to set realistic expectations, and ultimately ensured we would obtain value from any soundproofing work we pursued.
With the confidence to now go ahead we decided to proceed with our project. We engaged an experienced contractor to complete the work following Ivan’s report recommendations. Ivan also inspected the work in progress. We are very pleased with the results and felt much more confident in our decision to proceed with the knowledge and experience Ivan shared with both our contractor and ourselves. To anyone considering a soundproofing project, we highly recommend engaging Ivan from The Soundproofing Expert.
– DJ Rees
Don’t think there’s too many people out there who provide the wealth of information on soundproofing the way Ivan does on his blog or by consultation. If you need a sound problem solved, or need unbiased advice, look no further.
