The invention discloses a novel sound-proof building material and a preparation method thereof and relates to the technical field of novel building materials. The novel sound-proof building material is prepared from raw materials in parts by weight as follows: 30-45 parts of polyethylene, 28-36 parts of polybutadiene rubber, 15-24 parts of kaolin, 10-18 parts of asbestos, 8-17 parts of plant fiber, 12-20 parts of volcanic mud, 8-16 parts of hollow glass beads, 7-15 parts of glass fibers, 5-9 parts of montmorillonite, 4-8 parts of nanometer oxide, 8-13 parts of silica particles, 10-16 parts ofpolyurethane resin particles, 4-9 parts of diatom ooze, 8-14 parts of calcium silicate, 4-7 parts of a foaming agent, 3-8 parts of an antioxidant, 4-7 parts of a flame retardant and 2-5 parts of a plasticizer. The novel sound-proof building material is light and easy to mount, has the advantages of stable chemical property, good sound absorbing effect and good flame retardance, can effectively weaken noise outside space, is low in raw material cost and has good market prospect.
