It's important for us to learn how sound is transmitted around a building before it's possible to find methods to stop it from happening.

Soundproofing Colne Lancashire (BB8)

Sound basically travels in two ways throughout your room:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

As whale and dolphin song demonstrates, sound also travels through water, however unless your aim is to soundproof an aquarium or pool we will look only at the techniques of soundproofing rooms and structures.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

Significant levels of sound can be transmitted into and out of a room through gaps around doors, heating ducts, single glazed windows and even light fittings and electrical sockets. All noise and sound will create the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and this is what we hear. It matters not if it's passing aircraft, kids playing, music playing, machinery or traffic, they all generate and transmit sound in the same way.

You should therefore think of a room as a boat and carefully inspect it for leaks that need to be plugged before you can dare to sail it.

SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can additionally be absorbed by, reflected by or transferred to solid objects and structures. Sound can be transmitted around a dwelling from its original source via the vibration of ceilings, floors and walls. Care should be taken with solid concrete or brick walls, such as a basement, because sound can be reflected and sometimes even amplified to other rooms in your home.

So, how can we stop this sound transference affecting other people? Soundproofing obviously.

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering bare floors, which reflect and resonate sound, with a carpet or rug. Such a straightforward solution can help to damp down any noise and enhance the room to boot. Curtains, especially heavy blackout ones, can also stifle any sounds from escaping or invading the area, cost-effectively and without the need for professional soundproofing.

Look for areas in the room where noise can escape or come in; windows, electrical sockets, door frames and light fittings, and seal up the holes or gaps. It is possible to purchase professional acoustic sealants in many DIY outlets that repress the transfer of sound by suppressing it. Acoustic sealants can be slightly more pricey than normal plaster or other sealant products, but the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is certainly worth the additional cost.

If your room is an empty canvas and you are doing the soundproofing as you decorate or renovate, consider putting up a skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called sheet rock, drywall or gyproc). This is a relatively dense type of boarding that is an economic and useful soundproofing material. It's excellent if you are installing a study, movie room or games room in your house in Colne. If you're not experienced in fitting studding and plasterboard, it's better to hire a specialist Colne contractor to guarantee the best soundproofing benefits from its use.

The last solution for do-it-yourself enthusiasts is to look at the doors in your property in Colne. Hollow doors are reasonably cheap but their soundproofing qualities are far from ideal. Solid core doors, whilst a little bit more pricey, can do wonders for sound isolation in a room.

  1. What's the size of the room or space that has to be soundproofed?
  2. Where exactly is the primary source of the sound coming from? i.e. Overhead, through the doors, floor, ceiling, walls or windows, or a combination.
  3. What area needs soundproofing? i.e. Is it a brick walled room, a concrete lined basement, a loft conversion or a plasterboard partition room.
  4. What are the particular sounds that you need to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it outside noises such as passing trains, neighbours, traffic noise etc, or is it from within your house such as a home cinema or music room.

A certified soundproofing installation company in Colne will take into consideration all these points to provide solutions to your sound issues for various budgets. They'll provide different methods for soundproofing each of the problem areas within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

To soundproof any type of room requires 2 key approaches:

  1. Reduce sound resonating and amplifying.
  2. Sound absorption needs to be enhanced.

A site survey will be necessary to look at the aspects that need improving.

A specialist will look at the different ways to add mass and density to the areas with problems. The use of acoustic foams and rubbers of varying density and mass will help in absorbing sounds and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Any noticeable voids in the room may need some form of deadening material to be placed between them to lower sound resonation. If you imagine a drum or wooden cajon, you are looking at a sound amplifying void surrounded by a resonating material; essentially what you may find within ceiling and floor joists, or wall cavities.

Combined layers of materials with different masses and densities work better at 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 provide a much better solution to your soundproofing project.

Acoustic curtains, noise-reducing curtains, and soundproof curtains are all effective solutions for reducing unwanted external noise and creating a quieter and more peaceful environment indoors. These specialised curtains, designed to block, absorb and dampen sound waves, are an appealing option for enhancing working or living spaces in Colne.

Dense materials that can reflect and absorb sound waves are combined to make soundproofing curtains. Such curtains usually have layers of heavy fabrics, such as suede, velvet, or multiple layers of woven fabric, along with an inner core made of foam or mass-loaded vinyl. These materials work together to minimise the transmission of noise from outside sources, effectively reducing the sound that enters a room.

Soundproof curtains are simple to install, which is a major plus point.

When selecting soundproof curtains, it's essential to consider the particular noise issues you're facing.

Furthermore, some soundproof curtains may provide better insulation against external noise, while others may be better at absorbing reverberation and echo within a room. This makes them well-suited for office spaces, home theatres or recording studios. (75635 - Soundproof Curtains Colne)
