Firstly we need to discover precisely how sound travels and is transmitted before we are able to find ways to reduce any excessive noise intruding into or escaping from your property.

Soundproofing Pencoed Wales (CF35)

Sound basically moves in two ways throughout your room:

1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

2. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

Despite the fact that sound also travels through water, unless you're eager to reduce noise from an aquarium or pool, we will only be interested in how to reduce sound transmission in rooms within a building.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Substantial amounts of sound can be transferred into and out of a room through gaps around doors, heating ducts, ill fitted windows and even light fittings and electrical sockets. Any noise vibrates the air molecules and this vibration is what we identify and hear as sound. Regardless of the source of the sound; machinery, children playing, aeroplanes, music playing or road traffic, all sound is produced and transferred in precisely the same fashion.

If you can think of your room as a bucket, you are attempting to identify any leaks that need sealing before you fill it up with water.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

As sound moves through the air by vibrations, then it makes sense that those vibrations can be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by various solid materials. The floors, walls and ceilings will all have an impact on how sound moves around an area, and may even transport that vibration to other areas of a building. Care has to be taken with brick or solid concrete walls, such as a cellar or basement, because sound can be transmitted and sometimes even amplified to other parts of your property.

How do we stop these vibrations affecting other people? Soundproofing of course.

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

A bare floor resonates more than one covered by a rug or carpet. Not only can such a simple and straightforward solution help to reduce your noise problem, but it can also jazz up the room. Wall coverings or window drapes can also be used to improve soundproofing and are simple to install and maintain.

Look for areas around the rooms where noise can come in or escape from; door frames, light fittings, electrical sockets and windows, and seal any gaps or holes. Sealing the gaps and holes with a specialist acoustic sealant found in many DIY outlets and builders merchants, will make an enormous difference to sound transmission in your room. They are somewhat more pricey than standard plaster or sealants, but are very useful for their soundproofing efficiency.

If you are luckily enough to be redecorating or renovating while dealing with your soundproofing, then look at installing an additional skin of plasterboard (also called gypsum board, sheet rock or drywall). This is a fairly dense board that is a perfect and economic soundproofing material. It's ideal for areas like home cinemas, studios or home offices being built within your home in Pencoed. If you're not experienced in putting up plasterboard and framing, it is generally advisable to employ a specialist Pencoed contractor to guarantee the best soundproofing gains from its use.

One final simple soundproofing remedy is to check the materials from which your doors are made. If you have hollow doors in your rooms you will find they can vibrate with any sound that they experience. Changing hollow core doors for solid core will enhance the soundproofing capabilities of a room with only a minimal extra cost.

Some homes, such as those beside busy traffic routes or on aircraft flight paths, naturally have more issues with sound pollution and will need other ways to solve the situation. The best way to resolve these problems is to get in touch with a competent acoustic and soundproofing company from your local region.

Soundproofer Near Pencoed Wales

They will ask the four following questions during the initial evaluation of your needs:

  1. What sort of area or room do you want to soundproof? Is it a plasterboarded partition wall, a brick wall or a fully lined concrete wall etc.
  2. Is it external sounds or internal noise that you would like to target? i.e. To suppress street noise, overflying aircraft or neighbours playing loud music, or is it from internally generated sounds from a music studio or family room for example.
  3. Which is the main spot where the sound creates the biggest problems? i.e. Is it coming through doors/windows, from the walls, down from overhead or up through the flooring, or is it a combination of all these things.
  4. How large is the room you need to have soundproofed?

Your answers to such queries will allow you to receive estimates for the different solutions available to suit your circumstances. The parts of your room that are causing the biggest noise issues may each require different remedies.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

2 key components are required to soundproof any type of space or room:

  1. Lessen the effect of sound amplification, vibration and reflection by hard surfaces.
  2. Update and improve the amount of sound absorption.

To effectively assess the aspects that need to be improved, a site survey should be performed by a soundproofing expert.

A specialist will evaluate the different ways to add density and mass to the problem areas. This extra mass will include ways to enhance absorption of the sound energy by means of acoustic foam or rubber to gain the maximum sound reduction impacts.

Voids between joists might require insulating to remove the resonating gap between them. Floor and ceiling voids and cavities in walls can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space acts like an amplification source for any unwelcome noise.

It's better to use combined layers of different density materials to deaden unwanted sounds than a single layer made of one type of material. The various materials will isolate different frequencies of noise and deliver a more sympathetic auditory experience and feeling to a room.

All soundproofing installers in Pencoed have to follow the requirements for domestic buildings set down in the Building Regulations (Part E). These regulations have the purpose of protecting other residents in the area from the effects of noise pollution.

The Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) and the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) are recognised trade associations who offer training, qualifications and represent the very best in contractors and companies that offer soundproofing solutions. Any Pencoed company displaying ANC or IOA accreditation will have been vetted to make certain they provide the highest reliability, standards and quality of work within the soundproofing industry.

AMW (Acoustic Mineral Wool)

Acoustic mineral wool (AMW) is one of the handiest products on the market for the soundproofing of houses in Pencoed and has a number of different applications for your sound absorption requirements. Absorbing sound waves, reducing reverberation and enhancing acoustic performance, acoustic mineral wool is specifically designed to be installed in the cavity spaces of walls, floors and ceilings.

Acoustic Mineral Wool Pencoed

Offered in slabs of 1200mm x 600mm and thicknesses of 25 millimetres, 50 millimetres, 75 millimetres and 100 millimetres, AMW is available from soundproofing stockists. Often partly made from recycled materials, acoustic mineral wool is chemically inert, and is non-combustible. It won't have a reaction with brickwork, plastics, metal wall ties, masonry, or other materials or substances that it comes into close contact with, nor does it encourage the development of mould, fungi or bacteria.

When utilised as a sound absorption infill between stud partitions, flooring joists and suspended ceilings, AMW is especially effective, and it is well-known in the construction industry for its thermal, acoustic and fire insulation qualities. When applied in conjunction with other acoustic solutions, AMW can help in observing Part E of the Building Regulations with regards to separating floors and walls.

Acoustic Underlay Pencoed

If you are experiencing lots of noise in your house in Pencoed, an excellent way to lessen this without too much disturbance is by installing some soundproofing underlay on your floors. This is okay for use on concrete or wooden floors and can be laid underneath laminate, vinyl planks, carpet, engineered wood, and other flooring types.

When your issue is not so much airborne noise but primarily impact noise, soundproofing underlay is an especially effective solution. The more widespread use of hard floor surface finishes means that impact noise is becoming an increasing problem for householders in Pencoed. This is especially problematic when coming from rooms upstairs, and the sort of noise that we are referring to here is moving furniture, general footfall and kids running around.

Do not be drawn in by unscrupulous carpet companies, who may try to palm you off with regular carpet underlay as a solution to your noise related problems - this sort of product should not be mistaken for genuine acoustic underlay, which is what you really need. If the noise issues you are experiencing are severe, make sure that you buy a good quality soundproofing underlay from a respectable dealer.

While the installation of acoustic underlay can be extremely effective in reducing impact noise within your property, airborne noise such as incessant talking, booming TV's and deafening music, can be a whole different ball game, with some products being much better than others and enjoying differing levels of success. So, before selecting a product it is vital to determine the precise kinds of noise you are wanting to minimise, and discuss this with the supplier or soundproofing expert.
