Soundproofer Flint Wales (CH6): If you're anxious about the amount of noise in your Flint home, be it in a lounge, home office, studio or bedroom, you should look at installing some soundproofing. In some circumstances you could be investigating soundproofing so you don't disturb other inhabitants from a home cinema, music studio or kid's room. Whatever your requirements, soundproofing will help to maintain your peace of mind and sanity.
First it would be a good idea to get our heads around how sound travels and is transmitted before we are able to identify ways to reduce any excessive noise escaping from or intruding into your property.
There basically a couple of ways in which sound can travel around a home:
1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.
2. Through the vibration of objects or materials.
Despite the fact that sound can also travel through liquids, unless you're wanting to isolate noises from a swimming pool or aquarium, we'll only be interested in how to reduce sound transmission in rooms within a building.
SOUND THROUGH THE AIR
Significant amounts of sound can be transmitted into and out of a room through ill fitting windows, gaps around doors, heating ducts and even electrical sockets and light fittings. All sounds and noise will initiate movement and vibration of the molecules in the air, and this is what we hear and identify. All sounds are transmitted through the air in the same fashion; it matters not if it's music, nearby traffic, kids playing, aircraft or machinery that creates the sound.
Any gaps within a room can be considered to be a leak and will need to be closed off.
SOUND THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS
We all know that sound is just the vibrations of air reaching the ear, but those vibrations are also absorbed by solid materials. The ceilings, floors and walls will all have an effect on how sound moves around a room, and can even transfer that vibration to other parts of a dwelling. Even a solid concrete room, such as a basement, can create a path of resonance which transmits sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other parts of a property.
How can we prevent these sounds and vibrations affecting other people? Soundproofing is the solution.
SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING
A bare floor resonates more than one covered with a carpet or rug. Such a straightforward solution can help to damp down any noise and enhance the room at the same time. Curtains, in particular heavy blackout styles, can also suppress any sounds from invading or escaping the area, economically and without the need for specialist soundproofing.
Locating and stopping up any gaps or holes in your room, think sockets, door frames, windows and light fittings, is also a straightforward task for a competent DIY'er. There are special acoustic sealants available to buy that suppress the sound waves, and do not transfer them to the surrounding materials. There will be a considerable difference in the price in comparison with a regular sealant, but the soundproofing capabilities are much better and can make an enormous difference to a room's level of soundproofing.
If the room you are working on is an empty canvas and you are soundproofing as you renovate or decorate, consider installing a layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also known as sheet rock, gypsum board or drywall). This is an economic and efficient soundproofing material owing to its dense nature. If you are putting in a games room, home cinema or home office then plasterboard will help to minimise sound transference to and from that room, and can be easily decorated after installation. It's better to hire a reliable contractor near you to put up the plasterboard unless you're experienced in this task.
One final easy soundproofing treatment is to examine the materials your doors are made of. Hollow doors are a comparatively cheap option although their soundproofing qualities are far from the best. Solid doors, whilst a little more pricey, can have a sizeable effect on the soundproofing capabilities of a room.
PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS FLINT
If the sound levels are excessive in your area, due to aircraft flying over, or traffic noise from a nearby road for example, then more substantial ways to deal with the excess noise will need to be investigated. This is where the services of a specialist soundproofing service will bring the greatest results.
The first questions you should be asked are:
- From which direction does the noise appear to be coming from? i.e. Through the ceiling, flooring, windows, walls or doors or a mix of all of these.
- How big is the area you want to have soundproofed?
- What room needs soundproofing? i.e. Is it a concrete lined basement, a stud partitioned room, a loft conversion or a brick walled room.
- What noise or sounds are you trying to reduce? i.e. External factors such as road noise, neighbours, trains etc, or internal sounds from a home cinema or teenagers bedroom.
With honest answers to these queries a good quality soundproofing company in Flint will provide you with solutions for your situation, and just as importantly, your spending budget. The areas of your room that are responsible for the biggest noise issues will each require different remedies.
PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, CEILINGS and WALLS
There are two areas that must be addressed to soundproof any room or space:
- Minimise sound the reverberation and amplification of sound.
- Update and improve the amount of sound absorption.
To precisely determine the soundproofing areas that need to be improved, an on-site survey must be carried out by a professional soundproofing team.
The installer will work out ways of adding materials that have different masses and densities to boost the sound quality of the area. Soundproofing will be enhanced by the application of acoustic rubber and foam which will absorb excess noise and enhance and the sound quality of a room.
The insulation between any existing voids will be upgraded to reduce the noise resonation and amplification of these "sound boxes". If you visualise a drum for instance, you're looking at a noise increasing void surrounded by a resonating material; in essence what you might encounter within floor and ceiling joists, or cavities in walls.
Soundproofing is improved if different densities and materials are utilised, rather than installing a single kind of material. The diverse materials will reduce different sound frequencies and provide a more sympathetic auditory experience and feeling to a room.
Any soundproofing company in Flint will have to comply with the the Building Regulations (Part E), if your property is residential in nature. Such regulations should be followed in order to safeguard yourself and others from the harmful effects of noise pollution.
Look out for companies displaying the logos of the Institute of Acoustics or the Association of Noise Consultants to be certain you're using a business which is knowledgable and fully qualified in the soundproofing sector. An experienced soundproofing specialist in Flint will have undergone a vetting procedure for the professionalism and quality of their workmanship to have been accepted as a member of these organisations.
