Soundproofing Earl Shilton

Soundproofer Earl Shilton Leicestershire (LE9): If you are worried by the level of noise in your Earl Shilton home, be it in a home office, studio, bedroom or living room, you should think about installing or upgrading the soundproofing. Alternatively you may want to soundproof a particular room to keep noise in, for example in a home cinema or family room, to avoid disturbing others. No matter which soundproofing needs are required, it will be essential for you and your neighbour's peace of mind and sanity.

It's crucial for us to learn how sound is transmitted around a building before it's possible to find methods to prevent it from occurring.

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

1. By the vibration of air molecules.

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

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

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

If you check around the area or room to be soundproofed and notice ill fitting windows, gaps around doors, open air-ducting and even electrical sockets and switches, these are all causes of sound transmission. What we hear and identify as sound is essentially the vibration of air molecules reaching our ear drum. No matter the source of the noise; music, traffic, kids playing, heavy machinery or aircraft, all sound is produced and transferred in exactly the same manner.

Any gaps in a room can be regarded as a leak and will have to be plugged.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

As sound travels through the air by vibrations, then it makes sense that those vibrations can be absorbed by, reflected by or transferred to different solid materials. The walls, floors and ceilings will all have an impact on how sound travels around an area, and can even transmit that vibration to other parts of a dwelling. Even a room made of solid concrete, such as a basement, can create a path of resonance which transmits sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other areas of a dwelling.

However, how can these sound generating effects be stopped from causing a problem? The solution is naturally, soundproofing!

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Think about covering a bare floor surface, which resonates and reflects sound, with a rug or carpet. Not only will such a simple solution help to reduce your noise pollution problem, but it can also brighten up the room. Curtains, particularly heavy blackout types, will also repress any sounds from invading or escaping a room, economically and without requiring professional installation.

Track down areas in the room where noise can come in or escape from; door frames, electrical sockets, light fittings and windows, and close off the holes or gaps. There are unique acoustic sealants available to buy which suppress the sound waves, and do not transmit them to surrounding materials. Acoustic sealants are inclined to be a little more expensive than normal sealant products, but the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is certainly worth the small extra cost.

For anybody renovating a property or redecorating a room, look at the soundproofing properties of adding a supplementary layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called drywall, gypsum board or sheet rock), whilst you're tackling this project. Plasterboard is a dense material which is both economical and efficient for soundproofing purposes. If you're putting in a studio, home office or home cinema then plasterboard can help to minimise sound pollution for that room, and can be readily decorated after installment. If you aren't proficient in putting up plasterboard and framing, it is advisable to employ a professional Earl Shilton contractor to guarantee you the best soundproofing benefits from its installation.

The final do-it-yourself solution is to consider the doors within your home in Earl Shilton. Hollow doors are a relatively cheap option although their soundproofing capabilities are a far cry from perfect. Switching hollow doors for solid ones will appreciably enhance the soundproofing attributes of an area with only a minimal extra cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING EARL SHILTON

Some homes, for example those on aircraft flight-paths or next to busy routes, naturally have more sound pollution issues and will require other ways to tackle the dilemma. You'll obtain the best soundproofing outcome by hiring the expertise of an experienced soundproofing company.

Expect to answer the following four questions during an assessment of your particular soundproofing needs:

1. From what direction does the noise seem to be coming? i.e. Through the doors, walls, flooring, ceiling or windows or a mixture of all of these.
2. What is the space you want to soundproof made from? (i.e. a fully lined concrete wall, a stud partition wall or a brick wall).
3. What are the particular sounds that you need to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it sounds from within your home such as a family room or music room, or external noises such as street noise, next door neighbours, trains, etc.
4. How large is the space requiring soundproofing?

With answers to these questions a professional soundproofing installer in Earl Shilton will work out solutions for your situation, and just as important, your allotted budget. They'll provide different strategies for soundproofing each of the trouble spots within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, CEILINGS and WALLS

There are two areas that must be dealt with to successfully soundproof any room or space:

1. Reduce the ways that sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.
2. Improve the absorption of sound.

This requires an on-site survey to see precisely what areas require developing from the current state.

A professional soundproofing company will evaluate the different ways to add mass and density to the areas with problems. The addition of acoustic rubbers and foams of varying mass and density will help to absorb noises and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Any noticeable voids in the room may need some sort of deadening material to be placed between them to lower noise resonation. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space acts like an amplification source for undesired sounds.

Combined layers of materials with different masses and densities do a better job of absorbing noise than a single layer of one material type. The various materials will reduce different frequencies of noise and offer a more rounded auditory experience and feeling to a room.

Part E of the Building Regulations deal with the soundproofing of residential properties, and must be observed by any installation company in Earl Shilton. These regulations have the aim of protecting neighbours in the immediate area from the impact and effect of sound pollution.

Trade bodies in the soundproofing sector that offer advice, training and qualifications are the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) and the Institute of Acoustics (IOA). Any Earl Shilton firm displaying IOA or ANC accreditation has been vetted to ensure they provide the highest quality, reliability and standards of workmanship within the industry.

Acoustic Underlay Earl Shilton

One of the least troublesome ways of adding a degree of soundproofing to your home in Earl Shilton is through the use of soundproofing or acoustic underlayment. This is designed for use on wooden or concrete floors and can be used beneath laminate, carpet, engineered wood, vinyl planks, and several other flooring types.

Essentially, soundproofing underlay can be a particularly beneficial remedy when your problem is primarily impact noise and not an airborne noise issue. A recent increase in the popularity of "hard" floor finishes in Earl Shilton, means that problems with impact noise are becoming more and more widespread. This is particularly problematic in rooms upstairs, and the kind of noise issues that we're referring to here is moving furniture, general footfall and kids running around.

You shouldn't confuse soundproofing or acoustic underlay with normal carpet underlay, although some carpet suppliers may attempt to palm you off with this claiming it has good soundproofing attributes. If you are encountering serious noise problems in your home in Earl Shilton, contact a legitimate dealer and buy a quality acoustic underlay that's right for your particular needs.

Although impact noise can be substantially lowered through the use of soundproofing underlays, they have differing levels of success with regards to loud music, blaring TV's and constant talking, and other airborne noises. Therefore, before purchasing an underlay product it is vital to understand the exact types of noise you're wanting to lower, and discuss this with the supplier or soundproofing specialist.

Noisy Neighbour Soundproofing

The presence of a noisy neighbour next door can be an absolute nightmare to live with. The incessant noise of loud music, never-ending parties or barking dogs can quickly disrupt your peace and significantly impact the quality of your life. One way to tackle this issue is through soundproofing. By adding materials to walls, floors and ceilings, soundproofing is achieved to either block or absorb sound. Among the materials utilized for soundproofing, soundproof curtains, acoustic foam and mass-loaded vinyl are the most commonly used. Your walls can be fitted with sound insulation, or you can opt for double glazing to reduce external noise. Soundproofing can be a time-consuming and expensive process, which may not always be practical for renters. Therefore, it's vital to communicate with your neighbour and reach a resolution that benefits both parties. It's crucial to focus on your well-being and seek help from mental health professionals if the noise is causing you significant disturbance or distress.

Soundproofing Foam Earl Shilton

I was intrigued to discover recently that a common search phrase typed into Google and other search engines was "soundproofing foam", and local searches included "soundproofing foam Earl Shilton" and "acoustic foam Earl Shilton". Now, this implies that many householders in Earl Shilton are hunting for a solution to soundproof their homes, and are looking to soundproofing foam to achieve this.

It isn't my intention to ruin your day, but most noise related issues cannot be solved with this kind of product, and if your aim is to reduce the din caused by noisy next door neighbours in Earl Shilton, you'll need to look someplace else.

The foam in the form of an "egg box" which you frequently see being sold in sheet or tile form is not actually intended for blocking out noise, but was really developed for use in music studios and comparable spaces, to reduce resonation and echoing and improve the acoustic performance of a room. This type of acoustic foam isn't effective in stopping sound from passing through a neighbours wall or preventing noise from travelling around the rooms of your home. Acoustic foam is in fact porous and does not have the consistency to block sound, it absorbs it and actually lets sound pass through it.

This foam product may however be useful for you if you're building a music studio in your home in Earl Shilton, and if this is the case you'll find that it is available in various sheet sizes and thicknesses.

Soundproof Curtains

Soundproof, acoustic or noise-reducing curtains are all effective ways to create a quieter and more peaceful environment indoors by mitigating unwanted external noise. These specialised curtains are a useful option for people looking to improve their living or working spaces in Earl Shilton by dampening, absorbing and blocking sound waves. Dense materials that can absorb and reflect sound waves are combined to make soundproofing curtains. Heavy fabrics, such as velvet, suede, or several layers of woven fabric, along with an inner core made of foam or mass-loaded vinyl, are the typical layers of such curtains. Mitigating the transmission of noise from the outside, these materials work together to effectively reduce the sound levels that enter a room. (71493)
