Before we can discover methods for eliminating sound pollution, it will help if we understand precisely how sound travels and is transmitted.

Soundproofing Churchdown Gloucestershire (GL3)

There basically two ways by which sound can be transmitted around a room:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

As whale and dolphin song shows, sound also penetrates long distance through water, but unless your aim is to soundproof a swimming pool or aquarium we will look only at the techniques of soundproofing rooms and structures.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

If you check out the area or room to be soundproofed and notice open air-ducting, gaps around doors, ill fitting windows and even electrical sockets and switches, these are all factors that can transfer sound. All noise and sound will create movement and vibration of the molecules in the air, and it is this that we hear and identify. It matters not whether it's aircraft, music playing, heavy machinery, children playing or nearby traffic, they all create and transmit sound in the same way.

Any openings in a room can be viewed as a leak and will have to be closed off.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can also be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by solid materials and structures. Sound can be transmitted around a property from its source by the vibration of floors, walls and ceilings. Care has to be taken with brick or solid concrete walls, such as in cellars or basements, because sound can be transmitted and amplified to other parts of your house.

How should we stop these sounds and vibrations from having an adverse effect on other people? Soundproofing is the remedy.

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

If you've got bare floorboards or floors, consider covering them with carpet or putting down a few rugs to help reduce any vibrations and sound reflections. Not only will such a simple and straightforward solution reduce your problem with noise, it can also perk up the room. Curtains, particularly heavy blackout ones, can also repress any sounds from escaping or invading a room, cost-effectively and without requiring professional installation.

Search for areas in the rooms where noise can escape or come in; sockets, windows, light fittings and doors, and stop up the gaps. There are special acoustic sealants available to buy which absorb the sound waves, and don't transmit them to the surrounding materials. Acoustic sealants are inclined to be slightly more pricey than standard sealant products, however their impressive soundproofing qualities far outweigh the additional cost.

If you are going to be renovating or redecorating while considering your soundproofing, then look into putting up an additional skin of plasterboard (also referred to as drywall, gyproc or sheet rock). This is a fairly dense type of board that is an economic and useful soundproofing material. If you're putting in a music studio, home office or cinema room then plasterboard can help to minimise sound transmission to and from that room, and can be decorated easily after completion. It's better to hire a professional contractor near you to fit the plasterboard unless you've some experience in this kind of work.

The final solution for DIY enthusiasts is to look at the doors in your property in Churchdown. Hollow doors are relatively cheap although their soundproofing qualities are far from ideal. Changing hollow doors for solid ones will boost the soundproofing of a room with only a small extra cost.

The initial questions you will be asked are:

  1. What are the specific noises that you need to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it sounds from inside your house such as a family room or teenagers bedroom, or outside noises such as street noise, passing trains, neighbours, etc.
  2. From what direction do the sounds appear to be coming? i.e. Through the ceiling, floor, windows, doors or walls or a combination of all of these.
  3. What exactly is the size of the space or room that has to be soundproofed?
  4. What type of room or area do you wish to soundproof? Does it have a brick wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a plasterboarded partition wall etc.

A professional soundproofing firm in Churchdown will look into all of these aspects to offer remedies for your sound problems over a range of budgets. Remedies will vary according to the different materials needed for each of the main trouble spots within your environment.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

To soundproof any kind of room requires 2 key components:

  1. Increase sound absorption.
  2. Reduce the ways that sound is transmitted through and reflected by solid surfaces.

This requires a site survey to find out what areas require improving from the current condition.

A specialist will evaluate the different methods for adding density and mass to the main trouble spots. Soundproofing can be improved by the addition of acoustic rubber and foam which will absorb sound waves and improve and a room's sound quality.

Voids between floor joists might require insulating to eliminate resonation gaps between them. If you imagine a drum or wooden cajon, you are looking at a sound increasing void surrounded by a resonating material; in essence what you may find within ceiling and floor joists, or wall cavities.

Combined layers of materials with different masses and densities do a better job of absorbing noise than a single soundproofing material layer of one type. This is because different frequencies are affected by different types of materials, therefore a variety of densities, layers and shapes within your soundproofing panels are required.

All soundproofing installers in Churchdown must follow the guidelines for domestic buildings as laid out in Part E of the Building Regulations. This set of regulations is a requirement in law to protect yourself and neighbours from being affected by sound pollution in a setting where people work and live.

Only those Churchdown businesses that have been vetted and approved by these trade associations for professionalism, quality and reliability are allowed to display the logo.

Soundproofing Underlay Churchdown

Installing an acoustic or soundproofing underlay is a great way of adding some extra soundproofing to your Churchdown home without causing any serious disturbance. These soundproofing underlays can be used on both wooden and concrete floors, and beneath engineered wood, laminate, vinyl planks and carpet floor coverings.

When there are specific issues with impact noise rather than airborne noise, soundproofing underlay is particularly effective. Many property owners in Churchdown tend to have a big problem with impact noise, and this is mostly due to the popularity of the "harder" floor finishes, which are being used more widely these days. Rooms upstairs are the main origin of such problems, with kids stomping around, moving furniture and general foot traffic being typical forms of irritating noise.

Although some unprincipled carpet distributors may attempt to palm you off with normal carpet underlay with claims that it has decent noise cancelling qualities, this should not be confused with authentic acoustic or soundproofing underlay. If you've got serious noise issues make sure you purchase a decent acoustic underlay.

Although soundproofing underlay is mainly effective for reducing impact noise, some products are far better than others when facing airborne noise issues such as shouting, blaring televisions and deafening music. Discussing the exact types of noise you're endeavouring to minimise with the supplier or soundproofing specialist is important, and this will help you choose the correct underlay for your requirements.

Soundproofing Foam Churchdown

It seems from carrying out some basic keyword research that one of the most frequent searches on Google and Yahoo is for "soundproofing foam" and for homeowners in Churchdown, possibly "soundproofing foam Churchdown". Now, that is rather concerning because this would suggest that local home owners are turning to soundproofing foam as a solution to their noise problems in Churchdown.

I don't want to spoil anyone's day, but soundproofing foam isn't really a resolution for most noise problems, and is most certainly not effective if you are looking to filter out the racket from your noisy next door neighbours in Churchdown.

The "egg box" style foam which you regularly see for sale in sheet or tile form isn't actually meant for stopping the transmission of noise, but is really designed for use in music studios and similar settings, to reduce reverberation and echoing and improve the acoustic performance of a room. This kind of acoustic foam isn't efficient at stopping sound from passing through a neighbours wall or preventing noise from travelling around your property. As opposed to stopping it, acoustic foam allows sound to pass through it, because it is actually porous.

It may be that you're actually creating a music room in your house in Churchdown, in which instance this foam might be handy for you.
