Soundproofing Pontefract

Soundproofer Pontefract West Yorkshire (WF7): If noise is an issue in your Pontefract home then it might be time to consider installing soundproofing to make your studio, bedroom, living room or home office a haven of peace and quiet from the outside world. In some circumstances you may be investigating soundproofing so that you do not disturb other inhabitants from a home cinema, music room or family room. Either way, soundproofing is important for peace of mind and sanity.

Before we can find strategies for countering sound pollution, we need to understand just how sound travels.

There basically two ways in which sound can travel around a home:

1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

2. Around and within a solid object by reflection and vibration.

Sound can also travel through water, however unless you're looking at soundproofing a pool or aquarium we will simply deal with the isolation through materials and air.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

If you check out the room to be soundproofed and notice ill fitting windows, open air-ducting, gaps around doors and even electrical sockets and light fittings, these are all causes of sound transmission. All sound and noise will create the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and it is this that we pick up and hear. All sounds travel through the air in the same fashion; it matters not if it's kids playing, music, aircraft, traffic or heavy machinery that creates the sound.

It is helpful to visualise a room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that need sealing before you can sail it.

SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

As sound moves through the air by vibrations, then it seems logical that those vibrations can be reflected by, transferred to or absorbed by different materials. The ceilings, floors and walls will all have an effect on how sound moves around a room, and may even transmit that vibration to other areas of a property. Even in a room that is built from a dense material which is resistant against sound vibrations, such as a concrete lined cellar, the sound can be transmitted and perhaps even amplified to other areas of the building.

But, how can these sound transmitting effects be stopped from creating an issue? The answer is of course, soundproofing!

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

Think about covering a bare floor, which resonates and reflects sound, with a carpet or rug. Such a simple and straightforward solution can help to damp down any noises and enhance the room to boot. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also avoid sound vibrations and reflections through windows and walls without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofing specialists.

Another inexpensive and do-it-yourself solution is to plug any gaps around light fittings, door frames, sockets and windows. There are special acoustic sealants available to buy which suppress the sound waves, and don't transfer them to the surrounding materials. They may be a tad more pricey than normal sealants or plaster, but they're worth every penny for their soundproofing efficiency.

For those of you who are renovating a property or redecorating a room, evaluate the soundproofing benefits of adding an extra layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also known as gypsum board, sheet rock or drywall), whilst you are carrying out this project. This is a fairly dense board that's a perfect and economic soundproofing material. If you're fitting a home office, home cinema or studio then plasterboard will help to minimise sound transference from and to that room, and can be decorated easily after installation. It is far better to hire a competent Pontefract tradesman to install plasterboard unless you've some experience in this type of work.

One final easy soundproofing treatment is to check the materials from which your doors are made. Although hollow doors are lightweight and comparatively cheap, their soundproofing characteristics are not all that brilliant. If you're able to change to solid wooden doors you will find it enhances your room's soundproofing more cheaply than some other alternatives.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING PONTEFRACT

If you live in a high noise pollution area, such as near an airport or next to busy roads, you will need to be more radical in how to enhance the soundproofing qualities of your home. This is where hiring the services of a specialist soundproofing company will deliver the greatest results.

They will ask the four following questions during the initial assessment of your requirements:

1. How big is the room that needs soundproofing?
2. Which is the main spot where the sound creates the biggest problems? i.e. Is it emanating from the walls, down from overhead, up through the flooring or through doors/windows, or is it a combination of all these factors.
3. What noise or sounds are you wanting to suppress? i.e. External things like traffic noise, noisy neighbours, overflying aircraft etc, or internal sounds from a family room or teenagers bedroom.
4. What room requires soundproofing? i.e. Is it an attic conversion, a brick walled room, a concrete lined basement or a stud partitioned room.

Your answers to these questions will enable you to receive estimates for the various available solutions to suit your situation. There will be different remedies for each of the key areas the space you want to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

There are two areas that need to be addressed to successfully soundproof any space or room:

1. Maximise the absorption of sound.
2. Cut down on the ways that sound is transmitted through and reflected by solid surfaces.

An on-site survey will be necessary to assess the aspects that need improving.

A specialist will consider the different methods for adding mass and density to the main trouble spots. The addition of acoustic foams and rubbers of varying density and mass will help to absorb sounds and reduce reflections and transmission sources.

Voids between joists might require insulation to eliminate resonation gaps between them. If you imagine such spaces like a drum or wooden cajon then you'll see that by leaving wall cavities and floor or ceiling joist spaces open, you're creating a sound amplifying area.

It is best to use mixed layers of different density materials to absorb undesired noises than a single layer made of one kind of soundproofing material. This is because different materials react better with different frequencies and will provide a much better resolution to your soundproofing exploits.

All soundproofing technicians in Pontefract need to follow the guidelines for domestic buildings as laid out in Part E of the Building Regulations. 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 work and live.
