Soundproofing Ottery St Mary

Soundproofer Ottery St Mary Devon (EX11): If your Ottery St Mary property is being affected by noise, maybe you should look into installing or upgrading your soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your home office, lounge, studio or bedroom. You could also be aware of noise from a family room or home cinema room escaping and causing a disturbance to other inhabitants. No matter what soundproofing needs are required, it will be essential for you and your neighbour's sanity and peace of mind.

Before we are able to identify techniques for countering sound pollution, it might help if we understand just how sound travels and is transmitted.

Sound basically travels in two ways throughout your home:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

Despite the fact that sound also travels through water, unless you're looking to isolate noise from an aquarium or swimming pool, we'll just be concerned with how to soundproof rooms within a building.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any ill fitted windows, open air-ducting, gaps around doors and even electrical sockets and light fittings can all be methods of transmission of sound outside or into a room. All sounds and noise will initiate movement and vibration of the molecules in the air, and it is this that we hear. No matter what the source of the sound; machinery, children playing, music, passing aircraft or busy traffic, all sounds are generated and transmitted in exactly the same manner.

If you can imagine your room as if it were a bucket, and you're attempting to identify any leaks that need sealing before you fill it up with water.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We all know that sound is simply the vibrations of air reaching the ear, but those vibrations are also transferred to solid objects. Sound will cause vibrations in the walls, floors and ceilings of your rooms, and may cause a resonating effect which is transmitted outside the room itself. Care should be taken with solid concrete or brick walls, such as in cellars, as sound can be transmitted and amplified to other rooms in your property.

So, how can we stop this sound transmission having a detrimental impact on other people? Soundproofing obviously.

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering bare floors, which resonate and reflect sound, with a carpet or rug. Not only will such a simple and straightforward solution help to reduce your noise problem, it can also jazz up the room. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also suppress sound vibrations and reflections through windows and walls without the need to bring in a professional team of soundproofing installers.

Finding and stopping up any holes or gaps in the rooms, think doors, sockets, windows and light fittings, is also a straightforward job for a capable DIY enthusiast. You can find specialist acoustic sealants in some builders merchants which deaden the transfer of sound by suppressing it. They may be a little more pricey than standard plaster or sealants, but they are worthwhile for their soundproofing qualities.

For anybody redecorating a room or renovating a property, consider the soundproofing benefits of adding an extra layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also known as gyproc, drywall or sheet rock), whilst you're carrying out the project. This is an efficient and economical soundproofing material due to its dense nature. It is effective if you're setting up a movie room, home office or music studio in your property in Ottery St Mary. It is preferable to hire a competent contractor near you to install plasterboard unless you have experience in its application.

Last but not least you should examine all doors in the room you're planning to soundproof. If you've got hollow doors installed in your rooms you will find they can vibrate with any sound that they experience. Switching hollow doors for solid ones will improve the soundproofing of an area with only a minimal extra cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS OTTERY ST MARY

Some properties, for instance those on aircraft flight-paths or next to busy routes, naturally have more sound pollution problems and will need other ways to tackle the dilemma. You will receive the most effective soundproofing results by using the services of a professional soundproofing company.

The initial questions you should be asked are:

1. Where is most of the noise pollution emanating from? The ceiling, floors, walls, windows or doors.
2. What kind of area or room would you like to soundproof? Is it a brick wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a stud partition wall etc.
3. How big is the space you need to have soundproofed?
4. What sounds or noise are you trying to subdue? i.e. External issues like road noise, next door neighbours, aircraft etc, or internal sounds from a family room or music room.

Your answers to these questions will allow you to receive price quotes for the various available solutions to suit your needs. Solutions might vary according to the different materials required for each of the troublesome areas in your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

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

1. Lessen the effect of sound reflection, amplification and vibration by solid surfaces.
2. Sound absorption will need to be increased.

To accurately analyse the aspects that require improvement, an on-site survey should be conducted by a soundproofing expert.

Conclusions from the survey will probably include the addition of materials with different densities and masses to help improve the soundproofing characteristics of the room. Soundproofing will be improved by the installation of acoustic foam and rubber which will absorb excess noise and enhance and the sound quality of a room.

Any uninsulated voids in the room may need some type of deadening material to be inserted between them to reduce sound resonation. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts like an amplification source for unwanted noise.

Mixed layers of materials with different densities and masses work better at absorbing sound than a solitary layer of one material type. The different materials will eliminate different sound frequencies and provide a more sympathetic feeling and auditory experience to a room.

All soundproofing providers in Ottery St Mary must follow the requirements for domestic buildings laid out in the Building Regulations (Part E). Such requirements must be observed so as to protect yourself and others from the harmful effects of sound pollution.
