Soundproofing Martlesham

Soundproofer Martlesham Suffolk (IP12): If the level of noise is an issue in your home in Martlesham then it may be time to consider some soundproofing to make your home office, bedroom, lounge or studio a peaceful haven from the outside world. Alternatively you might want to soundproof a single room to keep noise in, such as in a family room or home cinema, so that others aren't disturbed. No matter what soundproofing needs are required, it will be essential for you and your neighbour's peace of mind and sanity.

It is important for us to learn how sound travels and is transmitted around an area before it's possible to discover solutions to stop it from happening.

There are only two ways by which sound can travel around a room:

1. Around and within a solid object by vibration and reflection.

2. By the vibration of air molecules.

Sound also travels through water, but unless you're thinking about soundproofing an aquarium or swimming pool we'll just focus on its isolation via air and materials.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Substantial levels of sound can be transferred out of and into a room through heating ducts, single glazed windows, gaps around doors and even light fittings and electrical sockets. All noise and sounds will create movement and vibration of the air molecules, and this is what we identify and hear. All sounds travel through the air in the same fashion; it doesn't matter if it's nearby traffic, children playing, machinery, music or passing aircraft that produces the sound.

If you try to visualise your room as a bucket, you are attempting to find any leaks which need sealing before you can fill it up with liquid.

SOUND THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can additionally be reflected by, absorbed by or transferred to solid materials and structures. Sound can be transported around a building from its original source by the vibration of floors, ceilings and walls. Care has to be taken with brick or solid concrete walls, such as in cellars or basements, as sound can be reflected and amplified to other rooms in your home.

But, how can these effects be prevented from causing a problem? The solution is naturally, soundproofing!

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

If you've got bare floorboards or floors, think about covering them with carpet or laying a few rugs to help reduce any sound reflections and vibrations. Such a simple and straightforward solution can enhance a room and help to dampen down any noises to boot. Curtains, especially substantial blackout types, will also subdue any noises from escaping or invading the area, economically and without the need for professional installation.

Another economical and do-it-yourself remedy is to plug any gaps around electrical sockets, doors, light fittings and windows. It is possible to buy professional acoustic sealants in some building supply stores which moderate the transmission of sound by absorbing the sound waves. They may be a little more pricey than regular plaster or sealants, but they're worth it for their soundproofing efficiency.

If your room is a blank canvas and you're soundproofing as you renovate or decorate, look at installing another layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also known as gypsum board, sheet rock or drywall). This is an efficient and economical soundproofing material owing to its dense nature. It's great if you are putting in a cinema room, games room or study in your property in Martlesham. It is far better to hire a professional Martlesham tradesman to install plasterboard unless you are experienced in this task.

One last simple soundproofing treatment is to look at the materials your doors are made of. If you have hollow doors fitted to rooms you'll discover they can resonate and vibrate with any sound that they experience. Solid core doors, whilst a bit more pricey, can do wonders for improving the soundproofing in a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS MARTLESHAM

Some properties, such as those next to busy roads or on aircraft flight paths, have naturally more sound issues and will need other ways to solve the dilemma. You'll get the best possible soundproofing outcome by using the expertise of an experienced soundproofing company.

The first questions you will be asked are:

1. What sounds or noise are you attempting to suppress? i.e. External things like passing trains, road noise, neighbours playing loud music etc, or internal sounds from a teenagers bedroom or home cinema.
2. What area needs to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it an attic conversion, a concrete lined cellar, a brick walled room or a stud partitioned room.
3. What are the dimensions of the area or room that must be soundproofed?
4. What is the main place where the sound creates the most problems? i.e. Is it coming up through the floors, from the walls, down from overhead or through windows/doors, or is it a combination of all these things.

Your answers to these questions will enable you to get quotes for the various available solutions that match your requirements. The parts of your room that are responsible for the biggest problems will each require different solutions.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, WALLS and FLOORS

There are 2 areas that need to be addressed to successfully soundproof any room or space:

1. Increase and update the amount of sound absorption.
2. Cut down on the effects on the way sound is reflected off and transmitted through hard surfaces.

To effectively assess the soundproofing areas that require improvement, a site survey needs to be performed by a soundproofing expert.

A specialist will look at the different methods for adding density and mass to the main trouble spots. This additional mass will help to increase absorption of the sound energy by means of acoustic rubber or foam to gain the maximum sound reduction impacts.

Any noticeable voids in the area may require some form of muffling material to be inserted between them to lower noise resonation. If you envision such spaces like a drum then you can see that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities empty, you are creating a sound amplification area.

Soundproofing capabilities are enhanced if multiple layers of varying density materials are employed, as opposed to installing a single type of material. The various materials will eliminate different sound frequencies and deliver a more harmonious auditory experience and feeling to a room.

Any soundproofing specialist in Martlesham must conform to the Part E of the Building Regulations, if dealing with a domestic property. These regulations must be followed in order to safeguard yourself and others from the harmful effects of noise pollution.

Trade organisations in the soundproofing industry who provide guidance, training and qualifications are the Institute of Acoustics and the Association of Noise Consultants. A reputable soundproofing company in Martlesham will have been verified for the quality and professionalism of their workmanship to have become a member of these organisations.

Soundproofing Foam Martlesham

After doing some fundamental keyphrase research, it it would seem to be the case that one of the most commonplace searches on Google and Yahoo is for "soundproofing foam" and for property owners in Martlesham, perhaps "soundproofing foam Martlesham". Now, that's quite worrying because this would indicate that local householders are looking to soundproofing foam as an answer to their noise problems in Martlesham.

I'm not trying to be a bearer of bad tidings, but the truth is that acoustic foam is not going to be the answer you are looking for, and will certainly not reduce the racket caused by your noisy neighbours in Martlesham.

Blocking out noise isn't the function of the familiar "egg box" shaped foam, which was actually developed for use in music studios and similar environments, where it can improve the acoustic performance of a room, and reduce amplifying, reverberation and echoing. It is not the right material preventing noise from travelling freely around your house, or stopping sound from passing through a wall from a neighbouring property. Acoustic foam is in fact porous and doesn't block noise, it absorbs it and lets sound pass through it.

It may be that you actually have a music room in your property in Martlesham, in which instance this foam may be handy for you.

AMW (Acoustic Mineral Wool)

Having a range of applications for your noise reduction requirements, acoustic mineral wool is one of the handiest products available for the soundproofing of houses in Martlesham. When placed in the cavity spaces of ceilings, floors and walls, acoustic grade mineral wool is designed specifically to dampen vibration, improve acoustic performance and absorb airborne sound.

Usually available in "slabs" of 1200mm x 600mm, AMW also comes in different thicknesses (25 millimetres, 50 millimetres, 75 millimetres and 100 millimetres). Acoustic mineral wool is safe for use in your house in Martlesham, as it is chemically inert and and is non-combustible, it is also eco-friendly being made partly with recycled materials. It will not have a reaction with any substances or materials that it comes into contact with (i.e. metal wall ties, brickwork, plastics, masonry), and doesn't encourage the growth of bacteria, mould or fungi.

Acoustic mineral wool is particularly effective as a sound absorption infill when installed between stud partitioning, floor joists and suspended ceilings, and is widely used in the building industry for thermal, fire and acoustic insulation. In relation to separating walls and floors, and so as to adhere to Part E of the Building Regulations, acoustic mineral wool can be used together with other sound absorbing materials.... READ MORE.

Those looking to improve their living or working spaces in Martlesham will find these specialist curtains, designed to absorb, dampen and block sound waves, an attractive option. Dense materials that can absorb and reflect sound waves are used to construct soundproof curtains. Such curtains normally have heavy fabrics, such as suede, velvet, or several layers of woven fabric, along with an inner core made from foam or mass-loaded vinyl as their layers. Effectively reducing the sound that enters a room, these materials work together to minimise the transmission of noise from outside sources. (71493)
