Firstly we need to understand exactly how sound moves and can be transmitted before we can find ways to combat any excessive noise intruding into or escaping from your property.

Soundproofing Biggleswade Bedfordshire (SG18)

Sound basically moves in two ways around a room:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. By vibration of solid materials and objects.

As whale and dolphin songs can show, sound also penetrates long distance through water, however unless your aim is to soundproof an aquarium or pool we'll look only at the strategies for soundproofing rooms and buildings.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Sound can be transmitted into and out of a room through ill fitting windows, gaps around doors, heating ducts and even electrical sockets and switches. Any sound vibrates the molecules in the air and this vibration is what we hear and identify as sound. No matter what the source of the noise; busy traffic, heavy machinery, kids playing, music or passing aircraft, all sound is created and transmitted in precisely the same manner.

Any holes in the room can be considered to be leaks and will need to be closed off.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

If sound travels through the air by vibrations, then it isn't surprising that those vibrations can be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by different materials. Sound can be transmitted around a property from its original source through the vibration of floors, ceilings and walls. Even a solid concrete room, such as a basement, can generate a resonance path which transports sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other rooms in a building.

So, what's the easiest way to stop these sounds from affecting other people? Soundproofing of course.

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

If you have bare floorboards or floors, think about putting down a few rugs or cover with a carpet to help in reducing any vibrations and sound reflections. These soft coverings and rugs will help absorb noises but can also add a bit of elegance to a previously bare room. Curtains, particularly heavy blackout ones, will also repress any sounds from escaping or invading a room, economically and without requiring professional installation.

Finding and sealing any gaps or holes in your room, think sockets, door frames, light fittings and windows, is also a simple job for a competent DIY enthusiast. There are some unique acoustic sealants available on the market that absorb the sound waves, and don't transmit them to surrounding materials. They may be a bit more expensive than standard sealants or plaster, but are worthwhile for their soundproofing qualities.

If you're luckily enough to be renovating or redecorating while dealing with your soundproofing, then think about installing an additional skin of plasterboard (also called sheet rock, drywall or gypsum board). This is a dense type of board that is a perfect and economic soundproofing material. It is ideal for spaces such as studies, studios or movie rooms that are being built within the home. It is advisable to hire an experienced contractor near you to install plasterboard unless you are experienced in this task.

Voids between joists may require insulating to eliminate the resonating space between them. If you picture such spaces as similar to a drum or wooden cajon then you'll see that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities open, you're effectively creating a sound amplifying area.

Soundproofing qualities are improved if multiple layers of different density materials are utilised, rather than installing a single form of material. The different materials will eliminate different noise frequencies and offer a more rounded feeling and auditory experience to a room.
