Soundproofer Crowthorne Berkshire (RG45): If you are worried by the level of noise that is invading your Crowthorne property, be it in a living room, home office, bedroom or studio, you should contemplate installing some soundproofing. Alternatively you might want to soundproof a specific room to keep load noises in, for instance in a home cinema or family room, to avoid disturbing others. Either way, soundproofing is crucial for your peace of mind.
First of all we need to learn precisely how sound travels before we can identify ways to eliminate any loud noise getting into or out of your property.
Sound is able to move in two different ways:
1. Around and within a solid object by reflection and vibration.
2. In open spaces by movement of air.
Sound is also transmitted through water, but unless you are thinking about soundproofing a pool or aquarium we'll simply focus on its isolation through air and materials.
SOUND THROUGH THE AIR
Sound can be transmitted into and out of a room through gaps around doors, open ducting, ill fitting windows and even electrical switches and sockets. All noise and sounds will initiate movement and vibration of the molecules in the air, and this is what we identify and hear. It does not matter if it's machinery, aircraft, music playing, kids playing or busy traffic, they all create and transfer sound in the same manner.
It is helpful to imagine a room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks before sailing off into the sunset.
SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES
If sound travels through the air by vibrations, then it seems logical that such vibrations can be absorbed by, reflected by or transferred to different solid materials. Sound will vibrate the ceilings, walls and floors of your rooms, and can lead to a resonating effect that's transferred outside of the area. Care must be taken with solid brick or concrete walls, such as a cellar or basement, because sound can be transmitted and amplified to other rooms in your home.
So, what's the easiest way to stop this resonation having an impact on other people? Soundproofing obviously.
SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS
If you have bare floorboards or floor surfaces, consider covering them with carpet or laying a few rugs to help in reducing any sound reflections and vibrations. The rugs or other soft coverings will help to soak up noises and can also add a bit of elegance to a previously bare room. Window drapes and wall coverings can also be employed to enhance soundproofing and are easy to install.
Locating and sealing any gaps around the rooms, think windows, door frames, light fittings and electrical sockets, is also a simple task for a competent do-it-yourselfer. Plugging the gaps and holes with an acoustic sealant found in some DIY and building material shops, can make a huge difference to sound transmission in a room. They are a little more pricey than regular sealants or plaster, but are more than worth it for their soundproofing qualities.
If the room you are working on is an empty canvas and you are soundproofing while you decorate or renovate, look at putting up another layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called sheet rock, gypsum board or drywall). This is a fairly dense type of boarding that is an economic and useful soundproofing material. It is great if you are putting in a home cinema, studio or study in your property in Crowthorne. It is best to hire a reliable contractor near you to fit the plasterboard unless you're experienced in this task.
One final easy soundproofing option is to examine the materials from which your doors are made. Whilst hollow doors are lightweight and comparatively inexpensive, their soundproofing qualities aren't anything to write home about. Solid core doors, whilst a little bit more expensive, can have a considerable effect on the soundproofing capabilities of a room.
PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING CROWTHORNE
Some properties, for example those next to busy roads or on aircraft flight paths, have naturally more sound issues and will need other ways to tackle the situation. The best solution for resolving these problems is to get hold of a specialist soundproofing and acoustic firm from your local area.
The initial questions you will be asked are:
- What is the room you want to soundproof made from? (i.e. a fully lined concrete wall, a plasterboarded partition wall or a brick wall).
- How large is the area requiring soundproofing?
- What noise or sounds are you seeking to suppress? i.e. External things such as aircraft, traffic noise, neighbours etc, or sounds within your house from a family room or teenagers bedroom.
- From what direction do the sounds seem to be coming from? i.e. Through the doors, ceiling, flooring, windows or walls or a combination of all of them.
Your answers to such queries will allow you to get quotes for the different solutions available that match your circumstances. The parts of your room that are responsible for the biggest problems may each require different solutions.
PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS
To soundproof any kind of room requires two key components:
- The absorption of sound will need to be increased.
- Reduce the effects on the way sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.
This will require a site survey to verify which areas require improving from the present condition.
A professional soundproofing company will look at the different ways to add density and mass to the troublesome areas. Soundproofing can be enhanced by the installation of acoustic foam and rubber which will absorb sound waves and enhance and a room's sound quality.
Insulation between any existing voids will be improved to reduce the sound amplification and resonation of these "sound boxes". Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space acts as an amplifying area for unwelcome sounds.
Soundproofing is improved if different densities and materials are used, as opposed to installing only one kind of material. This is due to the fact that the different material densities react in different ways with different frequencies and will provide a much better overall solution to your soundproofing project.
All soundproofing contractors in Crowthorne need to follow the legislation for domestic properties as specified by the Building Regulations (Part E). These regulations have the aim of protecting neighbours and other residents in the immediate area from the impact of sound pollution.
