Soundproofing Carlisle

Soundproofer Carlisle Cumbria (CA1): If your Carlisle home is being impacted by noise, maybe you should consider installing some soundproofing to bring a new sense of tranquility to your bedroom, studio, home office or lounge. You might also be aware of noise from a family room or home cinema room leaking out and disturbing others. No matter what soundproofing requirements are needed, it will be essential for you and your neighbour's sanity and peace of mind.

Before we can discover techniques for combating sound pollution, it might help if we understand how sound travels and is transmitted.

Sound is able to travel in only two ways:

1. By vibration of solid materials and objects.

2. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

Despite the fact that sound can also travel through water, unless you are looking to reduce sounds from a swimming pool or aquarium, we will only be interested in how to reduce sound levels in rooms within a building.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Sounds can be transmitted out of and into a room through ill fitting windows, heating ducts, gaps around doors and even electrical sockets and switches. All noise and sounds will create the vibration and movement of the molecules in the air, and it is this that we hear. No matter the source of the sound; passing aircraft, busy traffic, children playing, heavy machinery or music playing, all sound is generated and transferred in exactly the same fashion.

If you try and imagine your room as a bucket, and you are attempting to find any leaks which need sealing before you can fill it up with liquid.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We now appreciate that sounds are merely the vibrations of air being picked up by the ear, but those vibrations are also absorbed by solid materials. Sound can be transported around a property from its source by the vibration of walls, floors and ceilings. Even in a room that's encased in a dense material which is resistant against sound, such as a concrete cellar, the sound can sometimes be transmitted and maybe even amplified to other areas of the dwelling.

But, how can these effects be prevented from causing a problem? The solution is naturally, soundproofing!

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor is more resonant than one covered by a rug or carpet. Such a straightforward solution can help to damp down any noise and spruce up the room to boot. Wall coverings or window drapes can also be used to improve soundproofing and are simple to install and maintain.

Locating and stopping up any gaps in your rooms, think sockets, windows, light fittings and door frames, is also a straightforward job for a competent DIY enthusiast. Stopping up the gaps and holes with a special acoustic sealant that can be purchased in some DIY and building material shops, can make a huge difference to how your room sounds. They may be a bit more expensive than regular plaster or sealants, but are very useful for their soundproofing efficiency.

For anyone redecorating a room or renovating a property, evaluate the soundproofing benefits of adding a supplementary layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also called drywall, gyproc or sheet rock), while you are carrying out the work. Plasterboard is a very dense material that's both effective and economical for soundproofing purposes. It is effective if you're setting up a study, movie room or music studio in your property in Carlisle. It's better to hire a reliable Carlisle tradesman to put up the plasterboard unless you are experienced in this task.

Lastly you need to inspect all doors in the rooms that you're soundproofing. If you've got hollow doors installed in your rooms you will discover that they can resonate and vibrate with any sound that is aimed at them. If you are able to change to solid wooden doors you'll discover that it enhances your soundproofing more cheaply than some other solutions.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING CARLISLE

If you happen to live in a high noise pollution area, such as next to a busy road or near an airport, you will need to be more inspired in how to enhance the quality of the soundproofing in your house. This is an instance when retaining the services of a professional soundproofing service will bring the most effective results.

The initial questions you should be asked are:

1. Where is most of the noise emanating from? The ceiling, windows, floor, doors or walls.
2. What sounds or noise are you looking to suppress? i.e. External things such as street noise, noisy neighbours, passing trains etc, or internal sounds from a music room or home cinema.
3. What is the room you want to soundproof constructed from? (i.e. a stud partition wall, a lined concrete wall or a brick wall).
4. How large is the room you wish to be soundproofed?

A certified soundproofing firm in Carlisle will look into all of these aspects to offer solutions to your noise problems over a range of budgets. There'll be different solutions for each of the key areas the space you wish to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

2 key components are needed to soundproof any type of space:

1. Reduce the effects on the way sound is transmitted through and reflected by hard surfaces.
2. Update and improve the level of sound absorption.

To accurately analyse the aspects that need to be improved, an on-site survey needs to be performed by a local soundproofing company.

A professional soundproofer will look at the different methods for adding mass and density to the main trouble spots. The use of acoustic foams and rubbers of different density and mass will help in absorbing sounds and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

The insulation between any existing voids will be improved to lessen the sound resonation and amplification of these sound boxes. If you imagine a drum or wooden cajon, you are looking at a sound amplifying void enclosed within a resonating material; fundamentally what you may find within floor and ceiling joists, or cavities in walls.

It is far better to use mixed layers of different densities to soak up unwelcome sounds than a solitary layer fabricated from one material. This is due to the fact that the various frequencies are absorbed differently by different kinds of materials, therefore a diversity of densities, layers and shapes within your soundproofing armoury are needed.

Any soundproofing company in Carlisle will have to comply with the Part E of the Building Regulations, if your property is residential in nature. Such legislation must be followed so as to safeguard yourself and neighbours from the harmful effects of sound pollution.

The Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) and the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) are trade associations who offer training, qualifications and are representative of the very best in contractors and companies that offer soundproofing services. Only those Carlisle companies that have been vetted and authorised by these trade bodies for quality, reliability and professionalism are allowed to display the logo.
