Soundproofing Dronfield

Soundproofer Dronfield Derbyshire (S18): If you're anxious about the amount of noise that's assailing your Dronfield property, be it in a bedroom, lounge, home office or studio, you may want to look at installing some soundproofing. In some circumstances you could be investigating soundproofing so you don't disturb other inhabitants from a children's room, home cinema or music studio. Whatever your needs are, soundproofing will provide you with sanity and peace of mind.

First of all it might help if we discover how is transmitted and travels before we can find ways to combat any sound intrusion or escape from your home.

There are only two ways in which sound can be transmitted around a room:

1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

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

Sound also travels through water, however unless you're planning to soundproof an aquarium or swimming pool we'll only focus on the isolation through materials and air.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any ill fitted windows, gaps around doors, open ducting and even electrical sockets and switches can all be responsible for the transmission of sound into or outside a room. Any noise vibrates the air molecules and this vibration is what we hear as sound. All sounds are transmitted through the air in this same fashion; it matters not if it's busy traffic, heavy machinery, kids playing, music or passing aircraft that generates the sound.

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

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can additionally be absorbed by, transferred to or reflected by solid materials and structures. Sound can be transferred around a property from its source through the vibration of ceilings, walls and floors. Care has to be taken with brick or solid concrete walls, such as a cellar, since sound can be transmitted and sometimes even amplified to other areas of your home.

How should we prevent these vibrations and sounds from having an adverse effect on other folks? Soundproofing is the answer.

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

A bare floor surface resonates more than one covered by a carpet or rug. These soft coverings and rugs will help to soak up noise but can also add a touch of style to a previously bare room. Window drapes and wall coverings can also be employed to boost soundproofing and are easy to install.

Locating and plugging any holes or gaps around the room, think light fittings, doors, windows and sockets, is also a straightforward task for a competent DIY enthusiast. It is possible to purchase professional acoustic sealants in many DIY merchants that moderate the transmission of sound by absorbing it. Acoustic sealants can be a touch more pricey than standard sealant products, but the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is worth the small additional cost.

For anyone redecorating a room or renovating a property, consider the soundproofing properties of adding another layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called drywall, gyproc or sheet rock), while you're carrying out this work. Plasterboard is a very dense material that is both economical and efficient for soundproofing a room. It's great if you are setting up a music studio, movie room or study in your house in Dronfield. If you are not experienced in fitting studding and plasterboard, it's wise to use a professional Dronfield contractor to guarantee you the optimum soundproofing improvements from its installation.

Lastly you need to check all doors in the space you're looking to soundproof. If you've got hollow doors fitted to rooms you will find that they can vibrate with any sound that is aimed at them. If you're able to change to solid doors you'll discover that it enhances your soundproofing more cheaply than some other options.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS DRONFIELD

If your home is in a high sound pollution area, such as near an airport or next to busy roads, you will have to be more inspired in how to enhance the soundproofing qualities of your house. The best way to resolve these problems is to get hold of a competent acoustic and soundproofing firm from the local region.

Be prepared to answer the four following questions during an initial assessment of your soundproofing needs:

1. How large is the area you need to be soundproofed?
2. What are the particular noises that need to soundproofed? i.e. Is it outside noises such as overflying aircraft, neighbours playing loud music, street noise etc, or is it from within your house such as a family room or music studio.
3. Where is the majority of the noise pollution coming from? The ceiling, flooring, windows, doors or walls.
4. What type of property or room do you need to soundproof? Does it have a fully lined concrete wall, a stud partition wall or a brick wall etc.

With honest answers to these questions a trustworthy soundproofing installer in Dronfield will provide you with solutions to suit your situation, and just as importantly, your budget. They'll provide you with different strategies to soundproof each of the trouble spots within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

There are 2 areas that need to be dealt with to soundproof any room or space:

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

A site survey will be needed to pinpoint the elements that need improving.

The specialists will look at ways of adding materials with different masses and densities to increase the sound absorption capabilities of the room. This additional mass will include ways to increase the absorption of noise by means of acoustic rubber or foam to gain the maximum noise reduction impacts.

The insulation between any existing voids will be improved to lower the sound amplification and resonation of these sound boxes. If you envision these spaces as similar to a drum then you'll appreciate that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities empty, you are creating a noise amplification area.

Soundproofing abilities are improved if multiple layers of different density materials are used, as opposed to installing only one type of material. The diverse materials will reduce different frequencies of sound and offer a more rounded feeling and auditory experience to a room.

Any soundproofing firm in Dronfield will have to abide by the the Building Regulations (Part E), if your property is residential in nature. Part E of the Building Regulations is a legally binding requirement to protect your neighbours and yourself from being affected by noise pollution in a setting where folks live and work.

Watch out for companies displaying the logos of the Association of Noise Consultants or the Institute of Acoustics to guarantee that you're dealing with a business that is fully qualified and knowledgeable in the soundproofing industry. A credible soundproofing company in Dronfield will have been verified for the professionalism and quality of their workmanship to have become a member of these trade associations.

Acoustic Mineral Wool (AMW)

Having a number of different applications for your sound absorption needs, acoustic mineral wool is one of the most versatile products on the market for the soundproofing of homes in Dronfield. Specifically designed to be installed in the cavity spaces of walls, floors and ceilings, acoustic mineral wool is effective in reducing reverberation, improving acoustic performance and absorbing airborne sound.

Typically available in "slabs" of 600mm x 1200mm, AMW also comes in different thicknesses (25 millimetres, 50 millimetres, 75 millimetres and 100 millimetres). Often partly made from recycled raw materials, acoustic mineral wool is non-combustible and is chemically inert. It does not have a reaction with any materials or substances that it comes into close contact with (i.e. metal wall ties, brickwork, plastics, masonry), and does not encourage the growth of bacteria, mould or fungi.

Acoustic mineral wool is especially effective as a sound absorption infill when installed in the spaces between flooring joists, stud partitioning and suspended ceilings, and is widely recognised in the construction industry for thermal, fire and acoustic insulation. When applied along with other soundproofing materials, acoustic mineral wool can help in complying with Part E of the Building Regulations with regards to separating walls and floors.

Acoustic Underlay Dronfield

One way of adding a bit of soundproofing to your Dronfield property, without any significant disturbance, is to install soundproofing underlay. Both concrete and wooden floors are suitable for these underlays, and they can be laid under vinyl planks, engineered wood, laminate and carpet.

Acoustic underlay is especially beneficial when there is lots of impact noise rather than airborne noise. In recent times, the increased popularity of "hard" floor finishes has brought about more and more issues with impact noise in many Dronfield properties. Things like kids running around, general foot traffic and shifting furniture, are the kind of noise that we're talking about here.

You should not get soundproofing underlay confused with ordinary carpet underlay, although some carpet stores may attempt to sell you this with claims of soundproofing attributes. Be sure to buy a good quality soundproofing underlay, if you have serious noise problems.

While the installation of acoustic underlay can be highly effective in lowering impact noise within your property, airborne noise such as booming TV's, shouting and deafening music, can be a whole different ball game, with some products being much better than others and enjoying varying levels of success. You must discuss the exact types of noise you are trying to lower with your soundproofing expert or supplier, and this should enable you to pick the right product for your noise cancelling needs.
