Soundproofing Lancing

Soundproofer Lancing West Sussex (BN15): If your Lancing home is being affected by noise, maybe you should look into installing or upgrading your soundproofing to bring a new sense of tranquility to your bedroom, studio, home office or living room. You could also be aware of noise from a family room or home cinema room escaping and causing a disturbance to others in the house. Whatever your needs are, soundproofing will help to maintain your peace of mind and sanity.

It is important for us to understand how sound is transmitted around a structure before it is possible to identify methods to prevent it from happening.

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

1. The vibration or air molecules through the air.

2. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

Although sound also travels through liquids, unless you are eager to eliminate sounds from a swimming pool or aquarium, we will just be interested in how to reduce sound transmission in the rooms of a structure.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any ill fitted windows, heating ducts, gaps around doors and even light fittings and electrical sockets can all be methods of transmission of sound into or outside a room. All noise and sound will create movement and vibration of the air molecules, and it is this that we hear and identify. Regardless of the source of the sound; music, busy traffic, kids playing, passing aircraft or machinery, all sound is created and transferred in precisely the same fashion.

You should therefore imagine your room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that need sealing before you can sail it.

SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We now understand that sound is just the vibrations of air being processed by the ear, however those vibrations are also reflected by or transferred to solid objects. Sound will cause vibrations in the walls, ceilings and floors of your rooms, and may cause a resonating effect that's transferred beyond the room itself. Even in a room that is built from a solid material that is resistant to sound, such as a concrete basement, the sound can sometimes be transmitted and even amplified to other parts of the dwelling.

How do we stop these vibrations affecting others? Soundproofing obviously.

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Consider covering bare floors, which resonate and reflect sound, with a rug or carpet. The rugs or other soft coverings will help to absorb noises but can also add a touch of style to a previously bare room. Window drapes and wall coverings can also be used to boost soundproofing and are easy to install.

Locating and sealing any holes or gaps in your room, think sockets, door frames, light fittings and windows, is also an easy task for a competent DIY enthusiast. It is possible to purchase specialist acoustic sealants in some building supply stores that repress the transmission of sound by suppressing the sound waves. They might be somewhat more expensive than standard plaster or sealants, but they are worthwhile for their soundproofing efficiency.

If you are fortunate enough to be redecorating or renovating while tackling your soundproofing, then think about the possibility of putting up an extra skin of plasterboard (also called gyproc, drywall or sheet rock). This is an efficient and economical soundproofing material because of its dense nature. It is superb if you are putting in a studio, home office or home cinema in your property in Lancing. If you do decide on plasterboard to help with your soundproofing exploits it is better to use a professional fitter in Lancing, to get the maximum benefit from its installment.

One final easy soundproofing remedy is to check the materials from which your doors are made. If you've got hollow doors fitted to rooms you'll find they can vibrate and will resonate any sound that hits them. Switching hollow core doors for solid core will improve the soundproofing of an area with only a little more cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING LANCING

If the sound levels are high in your area, due to traffic noise from a busy road nearby, or aircraft passing overhead for example, then more substantial ways to combat the excess noise may need to be investigated. This is an instance when the services of a specialist soundproofing installer will deliver the greatest results.

The initial questions you will be asked are:

1. What kind of room or area would you like to soundproof? Does it have a stud partition wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a brick wall etc.
2. Where is the primary source of the noise emanating from? i.e. Overhead, through the doors, walls, floor, ceiling or windows, or a combination of everything.
3. Is it external sounds or internal noise that you need to tackle? i.e. To lessen aircraft, noisy neighbours or traffic, or is it from internally generated sounds from a home cinema or teenagers bedroom for instance.
4. How large is the room requiring soundproofing?

With accurate answers to these questions a professional soundproofing company in Lancing will come up with solutions for your situation, and just as important, your allotted budget. Remedies might vary in accordance with the different materials required for each of the main trouble spots in your property.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

2 key strategies are required to soundproof any sort of space:

1. Increase sound absorption.
2. Reduce the ways that sound is transmitted through and reflected by hard surfaces.

Doing this requires a site survey to verify what areas require improving from the present condition.

The team will work out ways of adding materials that have different masses and densities to increase the sound absorption of the area. This extra mass will help to improve absorption of the sound energy by means of acoustic foam or rubber to gain the maximum sound reduction impacts.

Voids between floor joists may require insulating to remove resonation spaces between them. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts like an amplification source for any undesirable noise.

Mixed layers of materials with different masses and densities work better at absorbing noise than a solitary layer of one material type. This is because different frequencies are affected by different materials, therefore a variety of densities, layers and shapes within your soundproofing panels are needed for the best results.

Any soundproofing firm in Lancing will have to abide by the the Building Regulations (Part E), if dealing with a domestic property. These legislation must be adopted in order to safeguard yourself and neighbours from being negatively impacted by sound pollution.

The Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) are recognised trade organisations who provide training, qualifications and represent the very best in contractors and companies who provide soundproofing services. Any Lancing firm displaying IOA or ANC accreditation has been vetted to make certain they offer the highest standards, reliability and quality of workmanship within the industry.
