Brigg Soundproofing & Noise Reduction Services

Soundproofer Brigg Lincolnshire (DN20): If noise is an issue in your Brigg home then it might be time to think about some soundproofing to make your bedroom, studio, home office or living room a peaceful haven from the outside world. You might also be concerned about any noise from a home cinema or family room seeping out and causing a disturbance to others in the house. Either way, soundproofing is vital for sanity and peace of mind.

First of all we should appreciate how sound moves and can be transmitted before we are able to identify ways to eliminate any loud noise getting into or out of your home.

Soundproofing Brigg Lincolnshire (DN20)

Sound can move in a couple of ways:

1. By vibration of solid materials and objects.

2. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

As whale and dolphin song demonstrates, sound also penetrates long distance through water, but unless you wish to soundproof an aquarium or swimming pool we'll just look at the methods of soundproofing structures and rooms.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

If you look around the area or room to be soundproofed and notice heating ducts, gaps around doors, single glazed windows and even electrical switches and sockets, these are all factors that can transfer sound. What we hear and identify as sound is actually air molucules being vibrated and reaching our ear drums. It does not matter if it's children playing, music, nearby traffic, passing aircraft or heavy machinery, they all create and transfer sound in the same manner.

Any gaps within the room can be viewed as leaks and will need to be plugged.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can additionally be absorbed by, reflected by or transferred to solid objects and structures. Sound can be transferred around a dwelling from its source via the vibration of ceilings, floors and walls. Care must be taken with solid concrete or brick walls, such as a cellar, because sound can be transmitted and amplified to other areas of your house.

How do we stop these sounds affecting other people? Soundproofing of course.

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

If you've got bare floorboards or floors, consider putting down a few rugs or cover with a carpet to help reduce 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, particularly substantial blackout styles, can also stifle any sounds from escaping or invading a room, cost-effectively and without the need for professional soundproofing.

Search for areas around the room where noise can come in or escape from; door frames, windows, sockets and light fittings, and seal up the holes or gaps. You can find professional acoustic sealants in many builders merchants that moderate the transmission of sound by absorbing it. They are a tad more pricey than regular sealants or plaster, but they're worthwhile for their soundproofing qualities.

If your room is a blank canvas and you are soundproofing while you decorate or renovate, consider putting up a layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called sheet rock, drywall or gyproc). This is a dense type of boarding which is an economic and useful soundproofing material. It's great for areas such as music studios, studies or home cinemas being built within your home in Brigg. If you do decide to use plasterboard to aid your soundproofing it is best to employ a professional fitter in Brigg, to gain the maximum possible benefit from its installment.

One last simple soundproofing option is to examine the materials from which your doors are made. If you have hollow doors fitted to rooms you will find they can resonate and vibrate with any sound that hits them. Solid wood doors, while a bit more pricey, can do wonders for sound isolation in a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS BRIGG

If your home is in a high sound pollution location, such as next to a busy road or near an airport, you will have to be more imaginative in how to enhance the soundproofing qualities of your property. The best solution for resolving these problems is to get hold of a specialist acoustic and soundproofing firm from your local area.

Soundproofer Near Brigg Lincolnshire

The initial questions you can expect to be asked are:

  1. Is it internal noise or external sounds that you need to tackle? i.e. To cut out passing trains, neighbours or road noise, or is it from internally created sounds from a family room or music room for instance.
  2. What's the size of the space or room that must be soundproofed?
  3. What is the area you want to soundproof made from? (i.e. a brick wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a stud partition wall).
  4. Where is the major source of sound coming from? i.e. Overhead, through the windows, doors, walls, flooring or ceiling, or a combination of all sorts of things.

Your answers to such queries will enable you to receive price quotes for the various available solutions that match your circumstances. They'll provide you with different methods to soundproof each of the main trouble spots within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

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

  1. Cut down on the ways that sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.
  2. Update and increase the level of sound absorption.

A site survey is going to be necessary to examine the aspects to be improved.

A professional soundproofer will evaluate the different ways to add density and mass to the main trouble spots. The addition of acoustic foams and rubbers of different density and mass will help in absorbing sounds and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Soundproofing Services Brigg (DN20)

The insulation between any existing voids will be upgraded or improved to reduce the noise amplification and resonation of these sound boxes. If you imagine these spaces like a drum then you can see that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities open, you're creating a sound amplification area.

Combined layers of differing mass and density materials work better at absorbing sound than a single soundproofing material layer of one type. The various materials will reduce different sound frequencies and deliver a more sympathetic feeling and auditory experience to a room.

The Building Regulations (Part E) focus on the soundproofing of domestic properties, and must be adhered to by any installation company in Brigg. This regulation has the objective of protecting other residents in the area from the impact of sound pollution.

Watch out for contractors displaying the logos of the Institute of Acoustics or the Association of Noise Consultants to be certain you are using a business that is knowledgable and fully qualified in the soundproofing industry. A trustworthy soundproofing contractor in Brigg will have been through a vetting procedure for the professionalism and quality of their work to have been certified as a member of these associations.

Soundproofing Foam Brigg

After performing some basic keyword research, it it would seem to be the case that one of the most commonplace searches on Google and other search engines is for "soundproofing foam" and for home owners in Brigg, maybe "soundproofing foam Brigg". That's actually quite worrying, because it illustrates that Brigg home and business owners are under the impression that acoustic foam products are suitable for fixing their noise issues.

I don't want to ruin anyone's day, but soundproofing foam is not really a resolution for most noise pollution problems, and is definitely not effective if you're looking to block out the racket from noisy neighbours in Brigg.

Often sold in tile or sheet form, this "egg box" shaped foam that you sometimes see on sale is not really designed for stopping the transmission of noise, but is really meant to be used in music studios and comparable settings, to improve the acoustic performance of a room, and help reduce resonation and echoing. This kind of soundproofing foam isn't effective in preventing noise from penetrating a party wall, or stopping sound from travelling freely around your property. Rather than blocking it, soundproofing foam allows sound to pass through it, because it is actually porous.

However, if you are engaged on creating a music studio, this foam product could be beneficial for you, and can be obtained in different sheet sizes and various thicknesses (usually 25 millimetre and 50 millimetre).

Soundproofing Underlay Brigg

Adding a soundproofing or acoustic underlay is a good way of adding some soundproofing to your Brigg home without the need for any major disturbance. This is okay for use on concrete or wood floors and can be installed underneath vinyl planks, laminate, carpet, engineered wood, and various other flooring types.

Soundproofing underlay is particularly beneficial when there's a lot of impact noise rather than airborne noise. Many homeowners in Brigg tend to have a significant problem with impact noise, and this is mainly down to the popularity of the "harder" floor finishes, which are being used more widely at the moment. This is particularly problematic in rooms upstairs, and the form of noise that we're referring to here is general foot traffic, children stomping around and moving furniture.

You shouldn't confuse soundproofing or acoustic underlay with regular carpet underlay, although some carpet stores may well attempt to palm you off with this claiming it has decent soundproofing attributes. If you're encountering severe noise issues in your home in Brigg, visit a reputable vendor and buy a good quality soundproofing underlay that is right for your particular situation.

Even though the installation of soundproofing underlay can be highly effective in lowering impact noise within a property, airborne noise such as incessant talking, booming TV's and deafening music, can be a different thing altogether, with some products being far better than others and having varying success rates. You should discuss the exact kinds of noise you are striving to lower with the soundproofing specialist or supplier, and this should enable you to establish the right underlay product for your noise reduction goals.

Acoustic Mineral Wool

Having various applications for your noise reduction requirements, acoustic mineral wool is one of the most versatile materials available for soundproofing homes and buildings in Brigg. Reducing reverberation, enhancing acoustic performance and absorbing airborne sound, acoustic grade mineral wool is specifically designed to be installed in the cavity spaces of floors, walls and ceilings.

Acoustic Mineral Wool Brigg

AMW usually comes in 600mm x 1200mm "slabs" and is readily available in thicknesses of 25mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm. Acoustic mineral wool is safe to use in your property in Brigg, as it is chemically inert and and is non-flammable, it is also environmentally-friendly being partly made with recycled raw materials. It does not have a reaction with plastics, masonry, brickwork, metal wall ties, or other materials that it comes into close contact with, nor does it encourage the growth of mould, bacteria or fungi.

Widely recognised in the building industry for its thermal, acoustic and fire insulation qualities, acoustic mineral wool is notably effective as a sound absorption infill when used between stud partitioning, suspended ceilings and flooring joists. With regards to separating walls and floors, and so as to comply with Part E of the Building Regulations, AMW can be used side by side with other soundproofing products.... READ MORE.
