Firstly we need to discover how sound moves and can be transmitted before we are able to identify ways to reduce any loud noise getting into or out of your home.

Soundproofing Ayr Scotland (KA6 and KA7)

Basically, sound travels in two ways throughout your home:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. By vibration of solid materials and structures.

Sound can also travel through water, but unless you're planning to soundproof a pool or aquarium we will just concentrate on its isolation via air and materials.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

Any heating ducts, gaps around doors, ill fitting windows and even electrical sockets and light fittings can all be responsible for the transmission of sound outside or into a room. Any sound vibrates the molecules in the air and these vibrations are what we hear and identify as sound. It matters not whether it's machinery, children playing, traffic, aeroplanes or music, they all produce and transmit sound in the same manner.

Any holes within a room can be viewed as a leak and will have to be plugged.

SOUND THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can also be reflected by, absorbed by or transferred to solid materials and structures. Sound will vibrate the floors, ceilings and walls of your rooms, and can lead to a resonation effect that is transmitted beyond the area. Even a room made of solid concrete, such as a basement, can produce a path of resonance which transmits sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other rooms in a property.

So, how can we stop this sound transference affecting other people? Soundproofing obviously.

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

Think about covering a bare floor surface, which resonates and reflects sound, with a carpet or rug. Such a straightforward solution can enhance a room and help to dampen down any noises at the same time. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also suppress sound vibrations and reflections through windows and walls without the need to hire a professional team of soundproofers.

Finding and stopping up any holes or gaps around the rooms, think light fittings, sockets, windows and door frames, is also a straightforward task for a skilled DIY'er. Stopping up the gaps and holes with a special acoustic sealant found in some DIY and building material shops, will make an enormous difference to sound transmission in your rooms. They are a tad more expensive than normal sealants or plaster, but they are worth every penny for their soundproofing qualities.

For anybody redecorating a room or renovating a property, evaluate the soundproofing benefits of adding an extra layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also called drywall, gypsum board or sheet rock), whilst you're carrying out the project. This is an economic and efficient soundproofing material because of its dense nature. It is perfect for spaces such as movie rooms, home offices or music studios being built within your house in Ayr. It's advisable to hire a certified contractor near you to put up the plasterboard unless you are experienced in this task.

Lastly you need to check out all doors in the room that you're soundproofing. If you've got hollow doors installed in your rooms you will discover that they can resonate and vibrate with any sound that hits them. Solid wood doors, while a tad more pricey, can have a considerable effect on the soundproofing capabilities of a room.

The first questions you will be asked are:

  1. Is it external noise or internal sounds that you wish to target? i.e. To reduce aircraft, next door neighbours or traffic noise, or is it from internally generated sounds from a family room or teenagers bedroom for instance.
  2. How big is the room you want to have soundproofed?
  3. What is the area you wish to soundproof constructed from? (i.e. a brick wall, a stud partition wall or a fully lined concrete wall).
  4. Precisely where is the principal source of noise emanating from? i.e. Above, through the walls, floor, doors, ceiling or windows, or a mixture.

With accurate answers to these questions a good soundproofing specialist in Ayr will be able to supply you with solutions to suit your situation, and just as important, your spending budget. The parts of your room that are causing the biggest issues will each need different solutions.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

There are two key areas that need to be dealt with to soundproof any space:

  1. Cut down on the ways that sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.
  2. Increase and maximise the level of sound absorption.

A site survey will be required to assess the areas to be improved.

Conclusions from the survey will probably include the addition of materials of different densities and masses to help enhance the soundproofing capabilities of the room. This additional mass will help to increase absorption of the sound energy through the use of acoustic rubber or foam to achieve the maximum impact of noise reduction.

Voids between floor joists might require insulation to remove resonation gaps between them. If you think about a drum or wooden cajon, you are looking at a sound increasing void enclosed within a resonating material; basically what you might encounter inside floor and ceiling joists, or cavities in walls.

Soundproofing capabilities are enhanced if different densities and materials are used, as opposed to installing a single kind of material. This is because the various different materials react in different ways with different frequencies and will provide a much better acoustic solution to your soundproofing exploits.

Any soundproofing firm in Ayr will need to adhere to the Part E of the Building Regulations, if your property is residential in nature. These legislation have to be observed so as to safeguard yourself and neighbours from being negatively impacted by noise pollution.

The Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) are trade associations who provide training, qualifications and represent the best in contractors and companies that offer soundproofing solutions. Only those Ayr firms that have been vetted and authorised by these associations for professionalism, quality and reliability are permitted to display the logo.
