First of all it would be a good idea to appreciate exactly how sound moves and can be transmitted before we are able to find ways to combat any sound intrusion or escape from your home.

Soundproofing Newport Wales (NP10)

Sound is able to travel in a couple of ways:

1. Within and around a solid object by vibration and reflection.

2. By the vibration of air molecules.

As dolphin and whale song demonstrates, sound also travels through water, but unless you wish to soundproof a pool or aquarium we will look only at the techniques of soundproofing rooms and structures.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Substantial amounts of sound can be transmitted into and out of a room through open air-ducting, single glazed windows, gaps around doors and even light fittings and electrical sockets. What we identify and hear as sound is in fact the vibration of air molecules reaching our ear drum. Regardless of the source of the sound; music playing, passing aircraft, heavy machinery, kids playing or nearby traffic, all sounds are created and transmitted in exactly the same manner.

If you can think of your room as a bucket, and you are attempting to identify any leaks to seal before you can fill it with water.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can also be absorbed by, transferred to or reflected by solid objects and structures. Sound will cause vibrations in the floors, ceilings and walls of your rooms, and may cause a resonation effect that is transferred beyond the area. Even in a room that is built from a solid material that's resistant to sound, such as a concrete basement, the sound can be reflected and possibly even amplified to other parts of the dwelling.

However, how can these sound transmitting effects be prevented from creating an issue? The answer is not surprisingly, soundproofing!

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

A bare floor resonates more than one covered with a carpet or rug. These soft coverings will help to absorb sounds but can also add a touch of style to an otherwise bare room. Wall coverings or window drapes can also be used to boost soundproofing and are simple to install and maintain.

Finding and stopping up any gaps in your room, think electrical sockets, door frames, windows and light fittings, is also a straightforward job for a competent DIY enthusiast. There are special acoustic sealants available on the market which absorb the sound waves, and don't transmit them to the surrounding materials. There could be a considerable difference in the price when compared with a standard sealant, but the soundproofing capabilities are a lot better and can make a huge difference to a room's soundproofing.

If your room is a blank canvas and you are soundproofing while you decorate or renovate, think about putting up a layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also called drywall, sheet rock or gypsum board). Plasterboard is a dense material that is both effective and economical in soundproofing an area. It is great for spaces such as studies, movie rooms or music studios being built within your home in Newport. If you do decide on plasterboard to help with your soundproofing it is advisable to use a specialist fitter in Newport, to get the maximum possible benefit from its installment.

The first questions you can expect to be asked are:

  2. How large is the space requiring soundproofing?
  3. What is the main point where the noise creates the most issues? i.e. Is it coming down from above, from the walls, through doors or up through the flooring, or is it a mixture of all these factors.
  4. What sounds or noise are you wanting to subdue? i.e. External issues like noisy neighbours, overflying aircraft, street noise etc, or internal sounds from a home cinema or teenagers bedroom.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, FLOORS and WALLS

2 key approaches are needed to soundproof any kind of space:

  1. Sound absorption needs to be maximised.
  2. Reduce sound resonating and amplifying.

To precisely determine the elements that need to be improved, an on-site survey needs to be completed by a professional soundproofing team.

Conclusions from the survey will probably include the addition of materials with different densities to help increase the soundproofing properties of the area. Soundproofing can be enhanced by the application of acoustic foam, rubber and other materials which absorbs excess noise and improves and a room's sound quality.

Any uninsulated voids in the room may need some form of deadening material to be installed between them to lower sound resonation. If you imagine a drum for example, you're looking at a sound amplifying void surrounded by a resonating material; fundamentally what you might find within ceiling and floor joists, or cavities in walls.

Soundproofing abilities are enhanced if different densities and materials are employed, as opposed to installing a single kind of material. This is due to the fact that different materials react better with different frequencies and will provide a better resolution to your soundproofing.
