Soundproofing Swinton

Soundproofer Swinton Greater Manchester (M27): If noise is an issue in your Swinton home then it may be time to consider some soundproofing to make your home office, living room, studio or bedroom a peaceful haven from the outside world. In some cases you could be investigating soundproofing so that you don't disturb others in the house from a children's room, music studio or home cinema. In any event, soundproofing is crucial for sanity and peace of mind.

Before we can find ways in which to combat sound pollution, we should understand just how sound travels and is transmitted.

Sound is able to move in only two ways:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

Sound can also be transmitted through water, but unless you're planning to soundproof an aquarium or pool we will just concern ourselves with the isolation via materials and air.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

If you take a good look at the room to be soundproofed and discover ill fitted windows, gaps around doors, heating ducts and even light fittings and electrical sockets, these are all factors that can transfer sound. What we hear as sound is really air molucules being vibrated and reaching our ear drums. It does not matter whether it's children playing, busy traffic, aeroplanes, music playing or machinery, they all create and transmit sound in the same way.

Any openings in the room can be looked at as a leak and will have to be closed off.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We all know that sounds are just the vibrations of air being processed by the ear, however those vibrations are also transferred to solid materials. The ceilings, floors and walls will all have an impact on how sound moves around an area, and can even transport those vibrations to other areas of a dwelling. Even in a room that is encased in a dense material which is somewhat resistant to sound, such as a concrete cellar, the sound can sometimes be reflected and even amplified to other rooms in the property.

How should we stop these sounds and vibrations from having an adverse effect on other folks? Soundproofing is the remedy.

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

Think about covering a bare floor, which reflects and resonates sound, with a carpet or rug. Not only can such a simple and straightforward solution reduce your problem with noise, but it can also jazz up the room. Wall coverings or window drapes can also be used to enhance soundproofing and are simple to install and maintain.

Search for areas around the room where sound can escape or come in; electrical sockets, doors, light fittings and windows, and close off any holes or gaps. Plugging the holes and gaps with a specialist acoustic sealant that can be purchased in many DIY and building material shops, will make a huge difference to how your room sounds. They might be a little more expensive than standard plaster or sealants, but are worth it for their soundproofing efficiency.

For anybody renovating a property or redecorating a room, look at the soundproofing properties of adding a supplementary skin of soundboard or plasterboard, (also known as drywall, gyproc or sheet rock), while you're undertaking this work. This is an economic and efficient soundproofing material due to its dense nature. If you are putting in a games room, study or movie room then plasterboard can help to minimise sound pollution for that room, and can be easily decorated after completion. If you're not proficient in fitting framing and plasterboard, it is generally wise to employ a professional team to guarantee you the optimum soundproofing benefits from its use.

The final solution for DIY enthusiasts is to think about the doors in your home in Swinton. Even though hollow doors are lightweight and relatively cheap, their soundproofing characteristics aren't anything to write home about. If you are able to change to solid wooden doors you will discover that it improves your room's soundproofing at little extra cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SWINTON

Some homes, for instance those alongside busy roads or on aircraft flight paths, have naturally more sound issues and will require other ways to solve the situation. You'll get the best possible soundproofing outcome by using the expertise of a skilled soundproofing specialist.

The first questions you will be asked are:

1. What noise or sounds are you attempting to suppress? i.e. External issues like road noise, noisy neighbours, trains etc, or sounds within your property from a family room or teenagers bedroom.
2. How large is the area you need to have soundproofed?
3. What kind of room or area do you need to soundproof? Does it have a plasterboarded partition wall, a lined concrete wall or a brick wall etc.
4. From which direction does the noise appear to be coming from? i.e. Through the walls, ceiling, floors, doors or windows or a combination of all of them.

With honest answers to these questions a genuine soundproofing installer in Swinton will come up with solutions to suit your circumstances, and just as important, your budget. There'll be distinct solutions for each of the main key areas of the space that you want to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

There are two key areas that must be addressed to successfully soundproof any room:

1. Reduce the ways that sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.
2. Increase and update the level of sound absorption.

A site survey is going to be needed to pinpoint the elements to be improved.

The experts will work out ways of adding materials with different densities and masses to increase the sound absorption qualities of the room. The use of acoustic foams and rubbers of different density and mass will help to absorb sounds and reduce reflections and transmission sources.

Voids between joists might require insulation to eliminate the resonating space between them. If you visualise a drum or wooden cajon, you are looking at a noise increasing void enclosed within a resonating material; essentially what you may encounter inside floor and ceiling joists, or wall cavities.

Mixed layers of differing density and mass materials do a better job of absorbing sound than a single soundproofing material layer of one type. The different materials will eliminate different frequencies of sound and offer a more sympathetic auditory experience and feeling to a room.

The Building Regulations (Part E) deal with the soundproofing of domestic properties, and will have to be followed by any soundproofing specialist in Swinton. Part E of the Building Regulations is a legally binding requirement to protect yourself and neighbours from the negative effects of sound pollution in an environment where people work and live.
