Soundproofing Featherstone

Soundproofer Featherstone West Yorkshire (WF7): If your Featherstone home is being impacted by noise, maybe you should look into putting in some soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your bedroom, home office, studio or living room. You may also be aware of noise from a home cinema or family room seeping out and causing a disturbance to other inhabitants. In any event, soundproofing is important for your peace of mind and sanity.

Before we are able to find techniques for combating sound pollution, we should understand just how sound travels and is transmitted.

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

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. By the vibration of air molecules.

As dolphin and whale songs can show, sound also travels through water, but unless you wish to soundproof a swimming pool or aquarium we will just look at the techniques of soundproofing rooms and buildings.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any gaps around doors, single glazed windows, heating ducts and even electrical switches and sockets can all affect the transmission of sound into or outside a room. All noise and sounds will create the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and it is this that we hear. All sounds travel through the air in the same way; it matters not if it's music, heavy machinery, passing aircraft, kids playing or nearby traffic that creates the sound.

Any openings in a room can be viewed as leaks and will need to be plugged.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

As sound travels through the air by vibration, then it seems logical that this vibration can be reflected by, transferred to or absorbed by different solid materials. The ceilings, floors and walls will all affect how sound travels around an area, and can even transport that vibration to other areas of a property. Care must be taken with brick or solid concrete walls, such as in cellars, since sound can be transmitted and amplified to other areas of your house.

How do we stop these vibrations affecting other people? Soundproofing obviously.

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

Think about covering a bare floor, which resonates and reflects sound, with a rug or carpet. Such a straightforward solution can help to damp down any noises and spruce up the room at the same time. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also prevent sound reflections and vibrations through walls and windows without the need to bring in a professional team of soundproofing specialists.

Search for areas in your room where noise can escape or come in; windows, light fittings, sockets and door frames, and stop up any holes or gaps. There are some unique acoustic sealants available to buy which suppress the sound waves, and do not transmit them to surrounding materials. There could be a considerable difference in the price compared to a standard sealant, however the soundproofing abilities are a lot better and can make a big difference to a room's soundproofing.

If the room you are working on is an empty canvas and you're doing the soundproofing while you renovate or decorate, look at putting up a skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called gyproc, drywall or sheet rock). This is a fairly dense type of boarding which is an economic and useful soundproofing material. If you're putting in a games room, home office or movie room then plasterboard will help in reducing sound pollution for that room, and can be decorated easily after completion. If you do decide on plasterboard to help with your soundproofing exploits it is wise to use a professional fitter in Featherstone, to achieve the maximum benefit from its installation.

Last but not least you ought to check all doors in the space you're planning to soundproof. Although hollow doors are lightweight and comparatively inexpensive, their soundproofing attributes aren't the best. Solid core doors, while a little bit more expensive, can do wonders for improving the soundproofing in a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS FEATHERSTONE

If the sound pollution is extreme in your area, because of aircraft flying over, or heavy traffic on a nearby road for example, then more severe ways to deal with the excess noise may have to be investigated. The best way to resolve these issues is to call in a reliable soundproofing and acoustic contractor from your local region.

They will ask the following four questions during the initial analysis of your needs:

1. How large is the room that you need to have soundproofed?
2. Is it external noise or internal sounds that you wish to target? i.e. To suppress aircraft, road noise or noisy neighbours, or is it from internally created sounds from a music studio or family room for instance.
3. What room requires soundproofing? i.e. Is it a concrete lined basement, an attic conversion, a brick walled room or a stud partitioned room.
4. Where is the majority of the sound coming from? The walls, windows, floors, doors or ceiling.

Your answers to such queries will enable you to receive quotes for the different solutions available to suit your situation. They'll offer different methods for soundproofing each of the troublesome areas within your room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, WALLS and FLOORS

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

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

An on-site survey is going to be necessary to examine the aspects to be improved.

A specialist will investigate the different ways to add mass and density to the trouble spots. Soundproofing can be improved by the application of acoustic foam, rubber and other materials which absorbs excess noise and improves and a room's sound quality.

Voids between floor joists may require insulating to remove the resonating gap between them. Floor and ceiling voids and wall cavities can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts like an amplification source for any unwelcome sounds.

It is best to use mixed layers of different density materials to soak up undesired noises than a single layer fabricated from one soundproofing material. The different materials will eliminate different noise frequencies and offer a more sympathetic feeling and auditory experience to a room.

The Building Regulations (Part E) cover the soundproofing of domestic properties, and will need to be applied by any soundproofing specialist in Featherstone. Part E of the Building Regulations is a legally binding requirement to protect yourself and neighbours from the negative effects of sound pollution in a setting where folks work and live.
