Soundproofing Barton-le-Clay

Soundproofer Barton-le-Clay Bedfordshire (MK45): If noise is an issue in your Barton-le-Clay home then it may be time to consider some soundproofing to make your bedroom, home office, lounge or studio a peaceful haven from your neighbours, fellow occupants and the outside world. In some instances you could be investigating soundproofing so that you don't disturb others in the house from a music room, home cinema or kid's room. No matter what soundproofing requirements are needed, it will be essential for you and your neighbour's peace of mind.

First we need to appreciate how sound travels and is transmitted before we are able to identify ways to combat any loud noise getting into or out of your property.

There are only a couple of ways by which sound can be transmitted around a room:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. The vibration or air molecules through the air.

As whale and dolphin song shows, sound also travels through water, but unless your intention is to soundproof an aquarium or swimming pool we will just look at the techniques of soundproofing structures and rooms.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

If you check around the area or room to be soundproofed and discover heating ducts, ill fitting windows, gaps around doors and even electrical switches and sockets, these are all aspects that can cause the transmission of sound. All noise and sound will initiate movement and vibration of the molecules in the air, and this is what we hear. All sounds are transferred through the air in the same way; it matters not if it's aircraft, machinery, music playing, children playing or busy traffic that creates the sound.

Any gaps in a room can be considered to be leaks and will need to be plugged.

SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can also be absorbed by, transferred to or reflected by solid objects and structures. The ceilings, walls and floors will all have an impact on how sound moves around an area, and can even transport that vibration to other rooms in a property. Even if a room is built from a solid material that's resistant against vibrations, such as a concrete basement, the sound can sometimes be transmitted and possibly even amplified to other parts of the structure.

How should we stop these vibrations and sounds affecting other folks? Soundproofing is the solution.

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering a bare floor surface, which resonates and reflects sound, with a carpet or rug. Such a simple solution can help to damp down any noises and enhance the room to boot. Curtains, especially heavy blackout types, can also stifle any sounds from escaping or invading the area, cost-effectively and without the need for professional soundproofing.

Finding and sealing any gaps in the rooms, think sockets, doors, light fittings and windows, is also an easy task for a skilled DIY'er. Plugging the gaps and holes with an acoustic sealant that can be purchased in some DIY outlets and builders merchants, will make a massive difference to sound transmission in your room. Acoustic sealants are inclined to be a little more pricey than regular plaster or other sealant products, but the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is worth the small additional cost.

If your room is an empty canvas and you're soundproofing as you decorate or renovate, think about installing another layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also called drywall, gypsum board or sheet rock). This is an economic and efficient soundproofing material owing to its dense nature. If you are fitting a home cinema, study or studio then plasterboard will help to minimise sound transference from and to that room, and can be easily decorated after completion. If you are not familiar with fitting plasterboard and framing, it's advisable to hire a specialist team to guarantee you the optimum soundproofing improvements from its use.

Last but not least you should check all doors in the space you're planning to soundproof. If you've got hollow doors in your rooms you will find that they can vibrate and will resonate any sound that they experience. Solid doors, whilst a tad more expensive, can have a significant effect on the soundproofing qualities of a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS BARTON-LE-CLAY

If the level of sound pollution is high in your location, on account of aircraft passing overhead, or traffic noise from a busy road for example, then more severe methods to deal with the excess noise will have to be explored. This is where the services of an established soundproofing company will deliver the greatest results.

They should ask the four following questions during a basic appraisal of your needs:

1. What area needs soundproofing? i.e. Is it a stud partitioned room, an attic conversion, a brick walled room or a concrete lined basement.
2. How large is the space you need to be soundproofed?
3. Where is the main source of the sound emanating from? i.e. Overhead, through the flooring, walls, doors, ceiling or windows, or a combination.
4. What sounds or noise are you wanting to subdue? i.e. External factors such as next door neighbours, traffic noise, passing trains etc, or sounds within your property from a music room or home cinema.

An experienced soundproofing installer in Barton-le-Clay will look into all of these aspects to provide remedies for your noise problems for various budgets. Solutions will vary according to the different materials needed for each of the trouble spots in your property.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, WALLS and FLOORS

To soundproof any type of room requires two key approaches:

1. Cut down on the ways that sound is transmitted through and reflected by solid surfaces.
2. The absorption of sound needs to be maximised.

To precisely assess the soundproofing areas that need to be improved, an on-site survey should be performed by a professional soundproofing team.

Conclusions from the survey will include the addition of materials with different densities to help improve the soundproofing qualities of the space. Soundproofing can be enhanced by the application of acoustic foam, rubber and other materials which absorbs excess noise and enhances and the sound quality of a space.

The insulation between any voids will be improved or upgraded to lower the noise resonation and amplification of these sound boxes. Floor and ceiling voids and wall cavities can all be likened to a drum, where the space acts as an amplifying area for undesired noise.

It is best to use combined layers of different densities to absorb undesired noises than a single layer fabricated from one kind of material. This is because the various frequencies are absorbed differently by different types of materials, therefore a range of densities, shapes and layers within your soundproofing armoury are needed.

All soundproofing installers in Barton-le-Clay have to follow the legislation for residential properties set down 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 negative effects of noise pollution in an environment where people live and work.

Soundproofing Foam Barton-le-Clay

I was fascinated to learn recently that one of the most popular soundproofing search phrases typed into Google and Yahoo was "soundproofing foam", and local searches included "acoustic foam Barton-le-Clay" and "soundproofing foam Barton-le-Clay". That is actually quite worrying, because it would suggest that Barton-le-Clay property owners are assuming that acoustic foam is a suitable product for reducing their noise issues.

I'm not trying to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the simple truth is that this type of product isn't likely to be the answer you're looking for, and will definitely not block out the din caused by noisy neighbours in Barton-le-Clay.

Stopping the transmission of noise is not the function of the familiar "egg box" style foam, which was actually created for use in music studios and similar situations, where it can improve the acoustic performance of a room, and reduce echoing, resonation and amplifying. This type of product is not effective in preventing noise from travelling through the wall of a neighbouring property, or even moving freely around your home and being a nuisance. Acoustic foam is porous and does not block noise, it absorbs it and allows sound to pass through it.

This product may however be extremely useful for you if you are building a music room in your house in Barton-le-Clay, and if this is the case you will find that it can be purchased in various sheet sizes and thicknesses.

Individuals looking to enhance their living or working spaces in Barton-le-Clay will find these specialised curtains, designed to absorb, block and dampen sound waves, a useful option.

A combination of dense materials that are capable of absorbing and reflecting sound waves is used to produce soundproof curtains. Heavy fabrics, such as suede, velvet, or multiple layers of woven fabric, along with an inner core made of foam or mass-loaded vinyl, are the typical layers of these curtains. Mitigating the transmission of noise from the outside, these materials work together to effectively reduce the level of sound that enters a room.

Simplicity of installation is a key feature of soundproof curtains. Unlike conventional soundproofing solutions, which are complex and time-consuming, these curtains can be simply hung on existing curtain rods or tracks.

The specific noise problems you're facing should be considered when picking soundproof curtains. The amount of noise reduction offered by different curtains varies, and is generally measured in decibels (dB). Curtains can also vary in their ability to insulate against external noise and absorb reverberation and echo within a room. This makes some soundproof curtains ideal for recording studios, office spaces or home theatres. (65802 - Soundproof Curtains Barton-le-Clay)
