Before we can find methods for combating sound pollution, it would be advantageous to understand exactly how sound travels.

Soundproofing Irlam Greater Manchester (M44)

Basically, sound travels in two ways throughout your home:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

Sound is also transmitted through water, however unless you are planning to soundproof an aquarium or pool we'll simply consider the isolation through air and materials.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

If you take a good look at your area to be soundproofed and detect ill fitting windows, heating ducts, gaps around doors and even light fittings and electrical sockets, these are all causes of sound transmission. What we hear as sound is essentially the vibration of air molecules reaching our ear drum. No matter what the source of the noise; heavy machinery, music playing, busy traffic, kids playing or aircraft, all sounds are created and transferred in exactly the same way.

It is helpful to imagine a room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that need sealing before you can sail it.

SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can also be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by solid materials and structures. Sound will vibrate the ceilings, walls and floors of your rooms, and may cause a resonating effect that's transferred outside the room itself. Even if a room is built from a dense material that's proofed against sound, such as a concrete lined cellar, the sound can be reflected and maybe even amplified to other areas of the structure.

But, how can these effects be stopped from creating an issue? The answer is naturally, soundproofing!

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor resonates more than one covered by a carpet or rug. Such a straightforward solution can help to damp down any noises and spruce up the room at the same time. Curtains, especially substantial blackout types, will also suppress any noises from escaping or invading the area, cost-effectively and without the need for professional soundproofing.

Track down areas in your room where sound can escape or come in; windows, light fittings, doors and sockets, and close off the holes or gaps. Plugging the gaps and holes with an acoustic sealant found in some DIY centres and builders merchants, will make a huge difference to how your room sounds. There might be a little difference in price when compared with a standard sealant, but the soundproofing abilities are much better and can make a huge difference to a room's soundproofing.

For anybody redecorating a room or renovating a property, consider the soundproofing benefits of adding a supplementary skin of soundboard or plasterboard, (also called sheet rock, gyproc or drywall), whilst you are carrying out this project. This is a relatively dense type of board that is an economic and useful soundproofing material. If you're putting in a studio, home office or home cinema then plasterboard can help reduce sound transmission from and to that room, and can be easily decorated after installment. It is wise to hire a reliable contractor near you to install plasterboard unless you have experience in its application.

One final easy soundproofing remedy is to check the materials from which your doors are made. Although hollow doors are light and relatively cheap, their soundproofing capabilities aren't anything to write home about. Switching hollow doors for solid ones will appreciably improve the soundproofing of a room with only a small extra cost.

They should ask the following four questions during the initial evaluation of your needs:

  1. What type of room or property would you like to soundproof? Is it a plasterboarded partition wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a brick wall etc.
  2. What are the particular noises that you need to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it sounds from within your property such as a music room or family room, or outside noises such as neighbours playing loud music, traffic noise, trains, etc.
  3. What are the dimensions of the room or space that must be soundproofed?
  4. Where exactly is the principal source of sound emanating from? i.e. Above, through the floor, ceiling, doors, windows or walls, or a combination of everything.

A professional soundproofing installation company in Irlam will look at all of these aspects to provide solutions to your noise issues for various budgets. They will provide you with different methods for soundproofing each of the trouble spots within your room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, WALLS and FLOORS

There are 2 key areas that must be dealt with to successfully soundproof any space:

  1. Cut down on the ways that sound is transmitted through and reflected by hard surfaces.
  2. Sound absorption will need to be maximised.

An on-site survey will be necessary to assess the aspects that need to be improved.

Solutions from the survey will probably include adding some materials of different densities to help improve the soundproofing qualities of the area. The addition of acoustic rubbers and foams of varying density and mass will help in absorbing noises and reduce reflections and transmission sources.

The insulation between any existing voids will be improved to lessen the noise resonation and amplification of these sound boxes. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be likened to a drum, where the space acts like an amplification source for any unwelcome noise.

Combined layers of materials with different densities and masses do a better job of absorbing sound than a solitary layer of one material type. This is due to the fact that different materials react in different ways with different frequencies and will deliver a much better solution to your soundproofing.

The Building Regulations (Part E) deal with the soundproofing of domestic properties, and will have to be followed by any soundproofing firm in Irlam. These regulations should be observed in order to protect yourself and others from being negatively impacted by noise pollution.

Keep an eye out for contractors bearing the logos of the Association of Noise Consultants or the Institute of Acoustics to ensure you are dealing with a business that's fully qualified and knowledgeable in the soundproofing sector. Only those Irlam firms that have been vetted and accredited by these trade bodies for reliability, professionalism and quality are allowed to bear the logo.
