Soundproofing Bognor Regis

Soundproofer Bognor Regis West Sussex (PO21): If your home in Bognor Regis is being impacted by noise, maybe you should look into putting in some soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your living room, bedroom, home office or studio. Conversely you may want to soundproof an individual room to keep load noises in, for instance in a family room or home cinema, so that others don't get disturbed. In any event, soundproofing is crucial for peace of mind.

Before we are able to discover techniques for combating sound pollution, we need to understand precisely how sound travels and is transmitted.

Sound can travel in two different ways:

1. Around and within a solid object by vibration and reflection.

2. By the vibration of air molecules.

Despite the fact that sound can also travel through liquids, unless you are looking to reduce noise from an aquarium or pool, we will only be concerned at how to reduce sound levels in rooms within a property.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

If you look around the area or room to be soundproofed and detect single glazed windows, open ducting, gaps around doors and even electrical switches and sockets, these are all causes of sound transmission. Any sound vibrates the molecules in the air and this vibration is what we identify and hear as sound. It does not matter whether it's aircraft, kids playing, traffic, heavy machinery or music, they all produce and transmit sound in the same manner.

If you can think of your room as a bucket, you're attempting to find any leaks which need sealing before you fill it up with liquid.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

As sound moves through the air by vibration, then it makes sense that this vibration can be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by different materials. Sound can be transported around a dwelling from its original source by the vibration of ceilings, walls and floors. Even a solid concrete room, such as a cellar, can generate a resonance path which transports any sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other areas of a property.

However, how can these effects be prevented from causing a problem? The solution is not surprisingly, soundproofing!

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

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

Finding and plugging any gaps in the room, think windows, sockets, light fittings and door frames, is also a straightforward job for a competent do-it-yourselfer. There are special acoustic sealants available on the market which absorb the sound waves, and don't transfer them to the surrounding materials. There may be a considerable difference in the price in comparison with a regular sealant, but the soundproofing abilities are a lot better and can make a big difference to a room's soundproofing.

If you are going to be redecorating or renovating while tackling your soundproofing, then look at installing an additional layer of plasterboard (also referred to as drywall, gypsum board or sheet rock). Plasterboard is a very dense material that's both economical and efficient for soundproofing purposes. If you're putting in a study, games room or home cinema then plasterboard will help in reducing sound pollution for that room, and can be easily decorated after installation. If you're not familiar with putting up framing and plasterboard, it's advisable to hire a professional team to guarantee the optimum soundproofing benefits from its installation.

The final solution for DIY enthusiasts is to check out the doors within your property in Bognor Regis. Hollow doors are a comparatively cheap option but their soundproofing qualities are a far cry from the best. Exchanging hollow doors for solid ones will considerably enhance the soundproofing attributes of an area with only a minimal extra cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING BOGNOR REGIS

If your home is in a high sound pollution area, such as near an airport or next to busy roads, you'll have to be more ingenius in how to increase the soundproofing qualities of your house. You'll get the best soundproofing results by employing the expertise of a certified soundproofing specialist.

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

1. What area needs soundproofing? i.e. Is it a loft conversion, a concrete lined basement, a brick walled room or a plasterboard partition room.
2. Where is most of the noise emanating from? The windows, walls, flooring, ceiling or doors.
3. How big is the room that needs soundproofing?
4. What are the specific noises that need to soundproofed? i.e. Is it sounds from within your house such as a teenagers bedroom or home cinema, or external noises such as trains, neighbours playing loud music, road noise, etc.

A professional soundproofing installer in Bognor Regis will look into all of these factors to offer solutions to your noise problems over a range of budgets. The parts of your room that are responsible for the biggest problems may each require different remedies.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, WALLS and FLOORS

There are 2 areas that need to be addressed to successfully soundproof any space or room:

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

A site survey is going to be necessary to examine the areas that need improving.

The team will figure out ways to add materials with different densities and masses to improve the sound absorption qualities of the room. Soundproofing can be boosted by the application of acoustic foam, rubber and other materials which will absorb soundwaves and improve and the sound quality of a room.

Voids between joists might require insulating to remove the resonating gap between them. If you imagine 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 empty, you're creating a noise amplification area.

Combined layers of differing mass and density materials do a better job of absorbing sound than a single layer of one material type. This is due to the fact that the different material densities react in different ways with different frequencies and will deliver a better resolution to your soundproofing.

Any soundproofing company in Bognor Regis will have to abide by the Part E of the Building Regulations, if dealing with a residential property. 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 live and work.

The Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) are recognised trade organisations who provide qualifications and training, and represent the best in companies and contractors who provide soundproofing solutions. Any Bognor Regis company displaying ANC or IOA accreditation will have been vetted to ensure they provide the highest quality, standards and reliability of workmanship within the soundproofing industry.
