Firstly it might help if we get our heads around exactly how sound travels and is transmitted before we are able to find ways to reduce any excessive noise intruding into or escaping from your property.

Soundproofing Bolton Greater Manchester (BL1)

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

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

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

Sound can also travel through water, however unless you are planning to soundproof a pool or aquarium we will only focus on the isolation through materials and air.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any gaps around doors, heating ducts, ill fitting windows and even light fittings and electrical sockets can all be methods of transmission of sound into or outside a room. All sound vibrates the air molecules and this vibration is what we hear and identify as sound. All sounds are transferred through the air in the same manner; it does not matter if it's traffic, machinery, kids playing, aeroplanes or music playing that generates the sound.

If you try to think of your room as if it were a bucket, you're attempting to identify any leaks to seal before you can fill it up with liquid.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can also be transferred to, absorbed by or reflected by solid objects and structures. Sound can be transmitted around a property from its source through the vibration of ceilings, walls and floors. Even if a room is built from a solid material which is resistant to vibrations, such as a concrete lined basement, the sound can be transmitted and maybe even amplified to other rooms in the structure.

But, how can these sound transmitting effects be stopped from creating an issue? The answer is of course, soundproofing!

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering bare floors, which reflect and resonate sound, with a carpet or rug. Not only can such a simple and straightforward solution help reduce your noise problem, but it can also spruce up the room. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also suppress sound vibrations and reflections through walls and windows without the need for a team of professional soundproofers.

Finding and sealing any gaps in your rooms, think sockets, windows, door frames and light fittings, is also a straightforward job for a competent do-it-yourselfer. Stopping up the gaps and holes with a specialist acoustic sealant found in many DIY centres and builders merchants, will make a massive difference to how your room sounds. They may be a little more pricey than normal sealants or plaster, but they are worthwhile for their soundproofing qualities.

If the room you are working on is an empty canvas and you are soundproofing while you decorate or renovate, consider putting up a layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called gyproc, sheet rock or drywall). Plasterboard is a very dense material that's both economical and efficient for soundproofing purposes. It is perfect for areas such as home offices, movie rooms or music studios being built within your home in Bolton. If you do decide on plasterboard to aid your soundproofing it is wise to hire a professional fitter in Bolton, to gain the maximum effect from its installment.

The last DIY solution is to check out the doors in your home in Bolton. If you've got hollow doors installed in your rooms you'll find they can vibrate with any sound that is aimed at them. Solid doors, while a bit more pricey, can have a significant effect on the soundproofing capabilities of a room.

The initial questions you will be asked are:

  1. Is it internal noise or external sounds that you need to address? i.e. To suppress passing trains, noisy neighbours or traffic noise, or is it from internally generated sounds from a home cinema or music room for example.
  2. Where is the majority of the sound coming from? The walls, ceiling, windows, flooring or doors.
  3. What space requires soundproofing? i.e. Is it a brick walled room, a plasterboard partition room, a concrete lined basement or a loft conversion.
  4. What's the size of the space or room that has to be soundproofed?

An experienced soundproofing contractor in Bolton will look at all of these factors to offer remedies for your noise issues over a range of budgets. They will provide different methods for soundproofing each of the trouble spots within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, CEILINGS and WALLS

There are 2 key areas that need to be dealt with to successfully soundproof any room:

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

An on-site survey will be necessary to pinpoint the areas to be improved.

The installer will figure out ways to add materials that have different densities and masses to improve the sound quality of the area. This additional mass will help to improve the absorption of noises by the use of acoustic foam or rubber to achieve the maximum impact of noise reduction.

Insulation between any voids will be improved to lower the noise amplification and resonation of these sound boxes. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be likened to a drum, where the space acts like an amplification source for undesired noise.

Soundproofing capabilities are enhanced if different densities and materials are employed, rather than installing only one sort of material. This is because different frequencies are affected by different types of materials, therefore a variety of layers, densities and shapes within your soundproofing armoury are needed.

The Building Regulations (Part E) cover the soundproofing of residential properties, and will have to be observed by any soundproofing installer in Bolton. These regulations have the purpose of protecting neighbours in the area from the impacts of sound pollution.

Look out for contractors showing the logos of the Association of Noise Consultants or the Institute of Acoustics to guarantee that you're dealing with a business that is knowledgable and fully qualified in the soundproofing sector. Any Bolton contractor displaying ANC or IOA accreditation will have been appraised to make certain they provide the highest standards, reliability and quality of work within the industry.
