Soundproofing Blaydon

Soundproofer Blaydon Tyne and Wear (NE21): If noise is an issue in your Blaydon property then it may be time to look into some soundproofing to make your bedroom, studio, living room or home office a haven of peace and quiet from your neighbours and the outside world. Alternatively you might want to soundproof an individual room to keep noise in, for example in a home cinema or family room, to avoid disturbing others. Either way, soundproofing is vital for your peace of mind.

It's important to realise how sound is transmitted around a building before it is possible to find methods to prevent it from happening.

There basically a couple of ways in which sound can be transmitted around a home:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

Although sound can also travel through liquids, unless you're eager to isolate sounds from a pool or aquarium, we will only be interested in how to reduce sound levels in rooms within a building.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Sound can be transmitted into and out of a room through ill fitting windows, heating ducts, gaps around doors and even light fittings and electrical sockets. All sound vibrates the molecules in the air and these vibrations are what we identify and hear as sound. Regardless of the source of the sound; machinery, children playing, traffic, aircraft or music, all sounds are generated and transferred in precisely the same way.

If you can visualise your room as if it were a bucket, and you're attempting to find any leaks that need sealing 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 absorbed by, transferred to or reflected by different materials. Sound can be transported around a property from its source by the vibration of ceilings, floors and walls. Even a solid concrete room, such as a basement, can create a resonance path which transports any sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other areas of a property.

How can we prevent these vibrations and sounds affecting other people? Soundproofing is the answer.

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

If you have bare floorboards or floors, think about covering them with carpet or laying a few rugs to help in reducing any sound reflections and vibrations. Such a simple and straightforward solution can spruce up a room and help to dampen down any noises at the same time. Curtains, in particular heavy blackout ones, can also subdue any noises from escaping or invading the area, cost-effectively and without requiring professional installation.

Search for areas in the rooms where noise can come in or escape from; door frames, light fittings, windows and sockets, and seal up any gaps or holes. There are some unique acoustic sealants available to buy which suppress the sound waves, and don't transfer them to the surrounding materials. There could be a considerable difference in the price compared to a regular sealant, but the soundproofing abilities are far better and can make a huge difference to a room's level of soundproofing.

For those of you redecorating a room or renovating a property, look at the soundproofing benefits of adding a supplementary skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called sheet rock, drywall or gyproc), whilst you're tackling the work. Plasterboard is a fairly dense material which is both effective and economical for soundproofing purposes. It's ideal if you are putting in a music studio, movie room or study in your property in Blaydon. It is far better to hire a specialist contractor near you to fit the plasterboard unless you have some experience in this sort of work.

One last simple soundproofing treatment is to look at the materials your doors are made of. Whilst hollow doors are lightweight and relatively cheap, their soundproofing qualities are not the best. Solid wood doors, whilst a tad more expensive, can do wonders for soundproofing a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING BLAYDON

Some properties, such as those on aircraft flight-paths or next to busy traffic routes, naturally have more issues with sound pollution and will require other ways to deal with the situation. The best solution for resolving these issues is to call in an established soundproofing and acoustic company from your local region.

They should ask the following four questions during a basic analysis of your requirements:

1. How big is the area you wish to have soundproofed?
2. What noise or sounds are you attempting to subdue? i.e. External factors like traffic noise, neighbours playing loud music, passing trains etc, or sounds inside your house from a music studio or home cinema.
3. What is the room you want to soundproof constructed from? (i.e. a lined concrete wall, a brick wall or a plasterboarded partition wall).
4. From what direction do the sounds appear to be coming from? i.e. Through the walls, windows, ceiling, doors or floor or a mixture of all of these.

Your answers to such queries will enable you to receive estimates for the various available solutions to suit your situation. The areas of your room that are responsible for the biggest noise issues may each require different remedies.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, FLOORS and WALLS

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

1. Improve sound absorption.
2. Lessen the effect of sound vibration, reflection and amplification by hard surfaces.

To precisely assess the soundproofing areas that need to be improved, a site survey must be carried out by a local soundproofing company.

The specialists will look at ways to add materials that have different masses and densities to increase the sound absorption qualities of the room. This extra mass will help to increase absorption of the sound energy through the use of acoustic foam or rubber to achieve the maximum impact of noise reduction.

Voids between floor joists might require insulating to eliminate the resonating gap between them. If you imagine these spaces like a drum then you'll appreciate that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities open, you're effectively creating a noise amplification area.

Mixed layers of materials with different masses and densities do a better job of absorbing sound than a single soundproofing material layer of one kind. This is because different materials react in different ways with varying frequencies and will deliver a better acoustic solution to your soundproofing.

Any soundproofing specialist in Blaydon will have to conform to the Part E of the Building Regulations, if dealing with a domestic property. This set of regulations is a requirement in law to protect yourself and neighbours from being affected by sound pollution in an environment where folks work and live.
