Before we are able to discover ways in which to combat sound pollution, it would be advantageous to understand how sound travels.

Soundproofing Bedlington Northumberland (NE22)

Sound basically moves in two ways around a home:

1. By the vibration of air molecules.

2. By vibration of solid materials and objects.

As dolphin and whale songs can show, sound also travels long distances through water, however unless you wish to soundproof an aquarium or pool we will just look at the techniques of soundproofing buildings and rooms.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any gaps around doors, open ducting, ill fitting windows and even electrical switches and sockets can all be responsible for the transmission of sound outside or into a room. What we hear and identify as sound is really the vibration of air molecules reaching our ear drum. It matters not whether it's music playing, aircraft, heavy machinery, children playing or busy traffic, they all generate and transmit sound in the same way.

If you can think of your room as a bucket, and you are trying to find any leaks to seal before you can fill it up with liquid.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

As sound moves through the air by vibrations, then it stands to reason that such vibrations can be reflected by, transferred to or absorbed by various materials. Sound can be transmitted around a building from its original source through the vibration of walls, floors and ceilings. Care must be taken with solid brick or concrete walls, such as a basement, because sound can be transmitted and sometimes even amplified to other areas of your house.

But, how can these effects be prevented from creating an issue? The solution is not surprisingly, soundproofing!

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor surface resonates more than one covered by a carpet or rug. The rugs or other soft coverings will help to absorb sounds but can also add a touch of elegance to an otherwise bare room. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also dampen sound vibrations and reflections through windows and walls without the need to bring in a professional team of soundproofing specialists.

Search for areas in the room where sound can come in or escape from; doors, windows, electrical sockets and light fittings, and stop up any gaps or holes. Sealing the holes and gaps with a specialist acoustic sealant found in many DIY outlets and builders merchants, can make a big difference to sound transmission in your room. They are a bit more pricey than regular sealants or plaster, but they are worth the cost for their soundproofing qualities.

If you are luckily enough to be renovating or redecorating while considering your soundproofing, then look into the possibility of installing an additional skin of plasterboard (also called sheet rock, drywall or gyproc). This is a dense type of board that's a perfect and economic soundproofing material. If you're fitting a home office, cinema room or studio then plasterboard can help to minimise sound transference to and from that room, and can be decorated easily after installment. If you're not proficient in putting up plasterboard and framing, it is advisable to hire a specialist team to guarantee the optimal soundproofing benefits from its use.

Lastly you need to check out all doors in the room you're planning to soundproof. If you have hollow doors installed in your rooms you'll find they can vibrate and will resonate any sound that is aimed at them. Changing hollow doors for solid ones will enhance the soundproofing capabilities of a room with only a little more cost.

  2. How big is the area requiring soundproofing?
  3. Is it external sounds or internal noise that you want to deal with? i.e. To suppress traffic, passing trains or neighbours playing loud music, or is it from internally produced sounds from a teenagers bedroom or family room for example.
  4. What is the main point where the sound creates the most problems? i.e. Is it coming up through the flooring, down from overhead, through windows/doors or from the walls, or is it a mix of all things.

An established soundproofing firm in Bedlington will consider all of these aspects to offer remedies for your sound issues for various budgets. The parts of your room that are causing the biggest noise issues may each need different remedies.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, CEILINGS and WALLS

To soundproof any kind of room requires 2 key components:

  1. Increase and update the amount of sound absorption.
  2. Reduce sound amplifying and resonating.

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

The experts will look at ways of adding materials with different masses and densities to increase the sound absorption of the area. The use of acoustic foams and rubbers of different density and mass will help in absorbing noise and reduce reflections and transmission sources.

Any uninsulated voids in the room may require some form of deadening material to be inserted between them to lessen noise resonation. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be likened to a drum, where the space acts as an amplifying area for any undesired sounds.

Mixed layers of differing mass and density materials do a better job of absorbing noise than a solitary layer of one material type. This is due to the fact that different frequencies are affected by different types of materials, therefore a diversity of layers, shapes and densities within your soundproofing panels are needed for the best results.

The Building Regulations (Part E) regulate the soundproofing of residential properties, and must be followed by any soundproofing company in Bedlington. Such regulations should be observed so as to safeguard yourself and neighbours from being negatively impacted by sound pollution.

The Association of Noise Consultants and the Institute of Acoustics are trade bodies who offer training, qualifications and are representative of the best in contractors and companies that offer soundproofing solutions.

Soundproofing Foam Bedlington

After conducting some simple keyword research, it seems that one of the most frequent searches on Google and Yahoo is for "soundproofing foam" and for home and business owners in Bedlington, something like "soundproofing foam Bedlington". This is rather perplexing, because it implies a lack of awareness by local homeowners who seem to be of the belief that their noise problems can be resolved by installing soundproofing foam.

The last thing I am looking to do is be the bearer of bad tidings, but if you're thinking that the racket from your noisy neighbours in Bedlington can be eliminated with this sort of product, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Often sold in tile or sheet form, this "egg box" style foam that you frequently see on sale is not actually designed for blocking out noise, but was actually developed to be used in music studios and similar situations, to enhance the sound clarity in a room, and reduce echoing and reverberation. Acoustic foam of this sort is not effective in preventing noise from moving freely around your house, or stopping sound from passing through a wall. Because acoustic foam is spongy and porous, it actually lets sound pass right through it, and hasn't got the density to stop it.

Nonetheless, if you are working on creating a music room, this product may be useful for you, and can be bought in different sheet sizes and various thicknesses (typically 25mm and 50mm).

AMW (Acoustic Mineral Wool)

One of the most useful products on the market for soundproofing homes in Bedlington, AMW (otherwise known as acoustic mineral wool) has a number of applications for your sound absorption requirements. Enhancing acoustic performance, absorbing airborne sound and reducing reverberation, acoustic mineral wool is designed specifically for installation in the cavity spaces of ceilings, floors and walls.

Acoustic Mineral Wool Bedlington

Offered in "slabs" of 1200mm x 600mm and 25 millimetre, 50 millimetre, 75 millimetre and 100 millimetre thicknesses, AMW is available from soundproofing merchants. Acoustic mineral wool is safe for use in your property in Bedlington, as it has an inert chemical composition and is non-flammable, it is also eco-friendly being made, in some part, from recycled materials. It does not react with metal wall ties, masonry, brickwork, plastics, or other materials that it comes into contact with, nor does it encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria.

When used as a sound absorption infill between stud partitioning, flooring joists and suspended ceilings, acoustic mineral wool is notably effective, and it is renowned in the construction sector for its acoustic, fire and thermal insulation qualities. In relation to separating walls and floors, and when used alongside other sound absorbing products, AMW can help in abiding by The Building Regulations (Part E).
