First it will help if we discover precisely how sound travels and is transmitted before we can find ways to reduce any sound intrusion or escape from your home.

Soundproofing Newtownards Northern Ireland (BT22)

There basically two ways by which sound can move around a home:

1. By the vibration of air molecules.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

As dolphin and whale song shows, sound also travels long distances through water, but unless your intention is to soundproof an aquarium or pool we will just look at the strategies for soundproofing rooms and structures.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

If you glance around the area or room to be soundproofed and notice gaps around doors, single glazed windows, open air-ducting and even electrical sockets and light fittings, these are all factors that can transfer sound. What we identify and hear as sound is essentially the vibration of air molecules reaching our ear drums. Regardless of the source of the noise; busy traffic, machinery, aircraft, music or children playing, all sounds are created and transferred in precisely the same manner.

If you try to visualise your room as a bucket, you are trying to find any leaks that need sealing before you fill it up with water.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can additionally be absorbed by, reflected by or transferred to solid materials and structures. Sound will cause vibrations in the floors, walls and ceilings of your rooms, and may lead to a resonation effect which is transferred outside the area. Even in a room that is encased in a dense material that's resistant to vibrations, such as a concrete cellar, the sound can be reflected and perhaps even amplified to other rooms in the structure.

How should we stop these sounds and vibrations from having an adverse effect on other folks? Soundproofing is the answer.

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor surface is more resonant than one covered by a carpet or rug. Not only can such a simple and straightforward solution help reduce your noise pollution problem, it can also spruce up the room. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also damp down sound vibrations and reflections through windows and walls without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofing installers.

Search for areas around the rooms where sound can escape or come in; electrical sockets, doors, windows and light fittings, and seal any gaps or holes. Sealing the holes and gaps with a professional acoustic sealant that can be purchased in some DIY shops and builders merchants, will make a big difference to sound transmission in your room. There could be a little difference in the price in comparison with a standard sealant, but the soundproofing abilities are much better and will make a massive difference to a room's level of soundproofing.

If your room is a blank canvas and you're soundproofing while you renovate or decorate, think about installing another layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called drywall, sheet rock or gyproc). This is an efficient and economical soundproofing material due to its dense nature. It's great if you're putting in a studio, study or movie room in your house in Newtownards. If you're not familiar with fitting studding and plasterboard, it's best to use a specialist Newtownards contractor to guarantee the best soundproofing benefits from its use.

One final easy soundproofing solution is to look at the materials from which your doors are made. If you've got hollow doors fitted to rooms you'll discover that they can vibrate with any sound that is aimed at them. If you are able to change to solid core doors you will find it boosts your soundproofing at very little extra cost.

The first questions you can expect to be asked are:

  1. How big is the room that needs soundproofing?
  2. Which is the main area where the sound creates the most problems? i.e. Is it coming through doors, from the walls, down from above or up through the flooring, or is it a mixture of all factors.
  3. What type of room or property would you like to soundproof? Is it a stud partition wall, a lined concrete wall or a brick wall etc.
  4. Is it internal sounds or external noise that you want to deal with? i.e. To suppress next door neighbours, traffic noise or overflying aircraft, or is it from internally created sounds from a family room or teenagers bedroom for instance.

With honest answers to these questions a decent soundproofing installer in Newtownards will figure out solutions for your circumstances, and just as importantly, your allotted budget. There will be different solutions for each of the main key areas of the space that you want to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

To soundproof any kind of room requires 2 key components:

  1. Reduce sound amplifying and reverberation.
  2. Sound absorption will have to be increased.

Doing this requires a site survey to see which areas require enhancing from the current condition.

The experts will work out ways to add materials with different densities and masses to enhance the sound absorption qualities of the area. The addition of acoustic rubbers and foams of different mass and density will help to absorb sounds and reduce reflections and transmission sources.

The insulation between any existing voids will be upgraded or improved to lessen the sound amplification and resonation of these "sound boxes". If you think of a drum for example, you are looking at a sound increasing void enclosed within a resonating material; in essence what you may encounter inside floor and ceiling joists, or wall cavities.

It is far better to use combined layers of different densities to deaden undesired sounds than a single layer made from one sort of soundproofing material. This is due to the fact that the various frequencies are absorbed differently by different materials, therefore a variety of layers, shapes and densities within your soundproofing panels are needed.

The Building Regulations (Part E) regulate the soundproofing of residential properties, and must be adhered to by any installation company in Newtownards. These regulations have the aim of protecting neighbours in the area from the impact and effect of noise pollution.

The Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) are recognised trade organisations who offer training, qualifications and are representative of the very best in contractors and companies which offer soundproofing solutions. Any Newtownards firm bearing IOA or ANC accreditation has been appraised to ensure they offer the highest reliability, quality and standards of work within the soundproofing industry.

Soundproof Curtains Newtownards

Acoustic curtains, also known as soundproof or noise-reducing curtains, have become popular as a highly effective way to reduce unwanted external noise and create a quieter and more peaceful environment indoors. An appealing option for enhancing living or working spaces in Newtownards, these specialist curtains are designed to dampen, absorb and block sound waves.

A combination of dense materials that are capable of reflecting and absorbing sound waves is used to construct soundproof curtains. Along with an inner core consisting of mass-loaded vinyl or foam, the layers of soundproof curtains normally consist of heavy fabrics, such as suede, velvet, or several layers of woven fabric. Minimising the transmission of noise from outside sources, these materials work together to effectively reduce the sound that enters a room.

Soundproof curtains are a great option for those who want noise reduction without the hassle of complicated installation. These curtains can be simply hung on existing curtain rods or tracks, unlike regular soundproofing methods that involve complex construction or modification of floors, ceilings and walls. These curtains offer property owners and renters in Newtownards a convenient and cost-effective way to reduce noise without making irreversible changes to their living areas, making them a popular choice for those who want to improve the acoustics of their home without breaking the bank.

In addition to their functional benefits, soundproof curtains are also visually versatile. For interior decor that complements their style, householders can choose from a variety of colours, patterns and designs. These curtains effectively soundproof the room, while at the same time having a hand in its overall visual appeal.

Consider the specific noise problems you're experiencing when choosing soundproof curtains. Noise reduction levels vary between different curtains, and are commonly measured in decibels (dB). Curtains can also vary in their ability to insulate against external noise and absorb reverberation and echo within a room. This makes some soundproofing curtains ideal for recording studios, office spaces or home theatres. (65802 - Soundproof Curtains Newtownards)
