It's crucial to realise how sound travels around an area before it's possible to find techniques to prevent it from happening.

Soundproofing Heath Hayes Staffordshire (WS12)

Sound is able to travel in a couple of ways:

1. By the vibration of air molecules.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

As dolphin and whale songs can show, sound also penetrates long distance through water, however unless you wish to soundproof an aquarium or swimming pool we will just look at the methods of soundproofing buildings and rooms.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

If you glance around the area or room to be soundproofed and detect open air-ducting, ill fitted windows, gaps around doors and even light fittings and electrical sockets, these are all causes of sound transmission. All noise and sound will create the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and it is this that we pick up and hear. All sounds travel through the air in the same manner; it doesn't matter if it's aeroplanes, heavy machinery, music playing, traffic or kids playing that creates the sound.

If you can think of your room as if it were a bucket, and you're trying to identify any leaks which need sealing before you fill it with liquid.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We now understand that sounds are merely the vibrations of air being processed by the ear, but those vibrations are also absorbed by solid objects. Sound will cause vibrations in the floors, ceilings and walls of your rooms, and can cause a resonation effect that is transferred beyond the area. Care must be taken with brick or solid concrete walls, such as in basements, since sound can be transmitted and sometimes even amplified to other areas of your home.

How should we prevent these sounds and vibrations affecting other people? Soundproofing is the solution.

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

If you have bare floorboards or floor surfaces, think about laying a few rugs or cover with a carpet to help in reducing any sound reflections and vibrations. Such a simple and straightforward solution can help to damp down any noise and spruce up the room at the same time. Curtains, and in particular substantial blackout ones, will also suppress any sounds from invading or escaping the area, cost-effectively and without requiring professional installation.

Finding and sealing any gaps in your room, think light fittings, electrical sockets, door frames and windows, is also a simple task for a capable DIY enthusiast. There are some unique acoustic sealants available on the market that absorb the sound waves, and do not transmit them to the surrounding materials. There could be a considerable difference in the price in comparison with a regular sealant, but the soundproofing abilities are significantly better and will make a massive difference to a room's soundproofing.

For anyone redecorating a room or renovating a property, look at the soundproofing gains of adding a supplementary layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called drywall, gyproc or sheet rock), while you are carrying out this work. This is a fairly dense type of board which is an economic and useful soundproofing material. It's ideal if you're installing a cinema room, home office or music studio in your house in Heath Hayes. It's far better to hire a professional contractor near you to put up the plasterboard unless you have experience in its application.

Soundproofer Quotes in Heath Hayes Staffordshire

One final easy soundproofing treatment is to look at the materials your doors are made of. Even though hollow doors are lightweight and fairly affordable, their soundproofing capabilities are not all that brilliant. Switching hollow doors for solid ones will substantially enhance the soundproofing qualities of an area with only a minimal extra cost.

Be prepared to answer the four following questions during an evaluation of your particular soundproofing needs:

  1. Exactly where is the major source of the sound coming from? i.e. Above, through the windows, doors, walls, floors or ceiling, or a combination of everything.
  2. What is the area you wish to soundproof made from? (i.e. a plasterboarded partition wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a brick wall).
  3. Is it external sounds or internal noise that you need to tackle? i.e. To suppress traffic, aircraft or neighbours, or is it from internally generated sounds from a teenagers bedroom or home cinema for example.
  4. What are the dimensions of the room or area that has to be soundproofed?

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

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

  1. Maximise sound absorption.
  2. Minimise sound resonating and amplifying.

Doing this requires a site survey to determine which areas require developing from the current condition.

Solutions from the survey will include adding some materials of different densities and masses to help increase the soundproofing capabilities of the room. Soundproofing can be enhanced by the application of acoustic foam, rubber and other materials which absorbs excess noise and enhances and the sound quality of an area.

Insulation between any voids will be upgraded or improved to lower the sound amplification and resonation of these "sound boxes". If you think of a drum for instance, you're looking at a noise increasing void surrounded by a resonating material; essentially what you may encounter inside floor and ceiling joists, or wall cavities.

It's better to use mixed layers of different density materials to soak up unwelcome noises than a solitary layer made of one type of soundproofing material. This is because the different material densities react better with various frequencies and will deliver a better acoustic solution to your soundproofing project.

Any soundproofing firm in Heath Hayes will need to adhere to the the Building Regulations (Part E), if dealing with a residential property.

Soundproofing Foam Heath Hayes

I was interested to discover recently that a common search term entered on Google and Yahoo was "soundproofing foam", and local searches included "acoustic foam Heath Hayes" and "soundproofing foam Heath Hayes". That is actually quite concerning, as it indicates that Heath Hayes property owners are assuming that acoustic foam is a suitable product for fixing their noise pollution problems.

It isn't my intention to ruin anyone's day, but most noise related issues can't be solved with this product, and if your goal is to reduce the racket caused by noisy neighbours in Heath Hayes, you will need to look elsewhere.

Blocking out noise isn't actually the purpose of this familiar "egg box" shaped foam, which was actually created for use in music studios and comparable surroundings, where it can enhance the sound clarity in a room, and reduce resonation, echoing and amplification. This type of product isn't good for preventing noise from travelling through a neighbours wall, or even moving freely around your property and causing annoyance. Since soundproofing foam is porous and spongy, it actually lets sound pass through it, and hasn't got the consistency to stop it.

If however, you happen to have a music room, this could be a useful product for you to use, and can be found in different thicknesses (usually 25mm and 50mm), and in various sheet and tile sizes.
