Soundproofing Gorseinon

Soundproofer Gorseinon Wales (SA4): If your Gorseinon property is being adversely affected by noise, maybe you should consider installing or upgrading your soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your living room, home office, bedroom or studio. In some circumstances you might be looking at soundproofing so that you do not disturb others from a music studio, children's room or home cinema. Either way, soundproofing is crucial for peace of mind.

Before we can identify methods for combating sound pollution, we need to understand how sound travels and is transmitted.

Sound is able to move in a couple of ways:

1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

2. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

Sound is also transmitted through water, but unless you are planning to soundproof a pool or aquarium we'll simply concentrate on the isolation via air and materials.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any open air-ducting, gaps around doors, ill fitting windows and even electrical sockets and switches can all be methods of transmission of sound outside or into a room. What we identify and hear as sound is basically air molucules being vibrated and being picked up by our ear drums. Regardless of the source of the sound; aeroplanes, traffic, children playing, music or machinery, all sounds are generated and transmitted in exactly the same manner.

It is helpful to imagine a room as a boat and carefully inspect it for leaks that require sealing.

SOUND THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

As sound travels through the air by vibrations, then it stands to reason that those vibrations can be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by various materials. Sound can be transported around a property from its original source via the vibration of walls, ceilings and floors. Even a room made of solid concrete, such as a basement, can generate a resonance path which transports any sound waves, and even amplify them, to other areas of a structure.

So, how can we stop these sounds from affecting other people? Soundproofing of course.

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

If you have bare floorboards or floor surfaces, think about covering them with carpet or laying a few rugs to help reduce any vibrations and sound reflections. Such a simple and straightforward solution can help to damp down any noise and spruce up the room at the same time. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also prevent sound reflections and vibrations through windows and walls without the need to bring in a team of professional soundproofing specialists.

Track down areas around the room where noise can come in or escape from; door frames, windows, electrical sockets and light fittings, and seal the gaps. There are special acoustic sealants available on the market which suppress the sound waves, and do not transmit them to surrounding materials. There will be a considerable difference in the price compared to a normal sealant, but the soundproofing abilities are a lot better and will make a huge difference to a room.

For anybody renovating a property or redecorating a room, look at the soundproofing properties of adding a supplementary skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called gypsum board, drywall or sheet rock), while you are undertaking the work. Plasterboard is a dense material which is both economical and efficient for soundproofing a room. If you are putting in a music studio, cinema room or study then plasterboard will help to minimise sound transmission to and from that room, and can be decorated easily after installation. It's best to hire a specialist Gorseinon tradesman to fit the plasterboard unless you're experienced in this task.

Lastly you need to inspect all doors in the room you're looking to soundproof. If you've got hollow doors installed in your rooms you'll discover they can resonate and vibrate with any sound that they experience. If you are able to change to solid wood doors you will discover that it improves your soundproofing more cheaply than some other options.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS GORSEINON

If the level of sound is excessive in your area, due to heavy traffic on a busy road nearby, or aircraft passing overhead for example, then more serious methods to reduce the excess noise will have to be investigated. The best solution for resolving these problems is to get hold of a specialist soundproofing and acoustic firm from the local area.

The first questions you can expect to be asked are:

1. What are the particular sounds that need to soundproofed? i.e. Is it external noises such as neighbours playing loud music, street noise, aircraft etc, or is it from inside your house such as a teenagers bedroom or home cinema.
2. From what direction does the noise seem to be coming? i.e. Through the ceiling, floor, windows, walls or doors or a mix of all.
3. What sort of property or room do you want to soundproof? Is it a stud partition wall, a lined concrete wall or a brick wall etc.
4. What are the dimensions of the space or room that needs to be soundproofed?

Your answers to such questions will enable you to receive price quotes for the different solutions available that match your situation. There'll be different remedies for each of the key areas the room you wish to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, FLOORS and CEILINGS

To soundproof any type of room requires two key components:

1. Minimise sound the resonating and amplification of sound.
2. Maximise sound absorption.

To precisely assess the soundproofing areas that require improvement, a site survey needs to be conducted by a professional soundproofing team.

A professional soundproofing company will investigate the different methods for adding density and mass to the areas with problems. This extra mass will include ways to increase the absorption of sound by means of acoustic foam or rubber to achieve the maximum impact of sound reduction.

Any voids in the room may need some form of muffling material to be inserted between them to reduce noise resonation. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts as an amplifying area for any undesirable sounds.

It is far better to use combined layers of different density materials to absorb undesired sounds than a solitary layer fabricated from one material. The different materials will reduce different noise frequencies and offer a more harmonious feeling and auditory experience to a room.

The Building Regulations (Part E) focus on the soundproofing of domestic properties, and must be applied by any installation company in Gorseinon. Part E of the Building Regulations is a legally binding requirement to protect your neighbours and yourself from the effects of sound pollution in an area where folks live and work.

Soundproofing or Acoustic Underlay Gorseinon

If you wish to reduce the noise experienced in your Gorseinon property without causing too much disruption, you could consider installing some acoustic or soundproofing underlay. These can be used beneath engineered wood, laminate, vinyl planks or carpet floor coverings, and are suitable for both concrete and timber floors.

Soundproofing underlay is especially effective when there's a problem with impact noise rather than airborne noise. Recent increases in the popularity of "harder" floor finishes in Gorseinon properties, means issues with impact noise are becoming ever more widespread. Upstairs rooms are the main origin of such issues, with general foot traffic, kids stomping around and moving furniture being frequent sorts of irritating noise.

Although some unscrupulous carpet retailers may attempt to sell you normal carpet underlay, claiming that it has decent noise cancelling benefits, this shouldn't be confused with genuine soundproofing underlay. If the noise issues you're experiencing are significant, be sure you invest in a good quality soundproofing underlay from a respectable dealer.

Whilst impact noise can be substantially reduced with soundproofing underlays, they have differing degrees of success with regards to blaring TV's, loud music and shouting, and other airborne noise problems. Before picking out a product you should talk to your supplier or soundproofing specialist about your particular situation, and identify the exact types of noise you're wanting to lower.
