First it will help if we get our heads around precisely how sound travels and is transmitted before we can identify ways to reduce any excessive noise escaping from or intruding into your property.

Soundproofing Reepham Norfolk (NR10)

Sound is able to travel in two different ways:

1. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

2. In open spaces by movement of air.

Although sound can also travel through water, unless you are wanting to isolate noise from a pool or aquarium, we will only be concerned at how to reduce sound levels in rooms within a property.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

Significant levels of sound can be transferred out of and into a room through open air-ducting, gaps around doors, single glazed windows and even electrical switches and sockets. What we hear and identify as sound is actually air molucules being vibrated and being picked up by our ear drums. All sounds travel through the air in this same fashion; it doesn't matter if it's aircraft, busy traffic, machinery, kids playing or music playing that creates the sound.

Any openings in the room can be regarded as leaks and will need to be closed off.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

If sound travels through the air by vibration, then it makes sense that this vibration can be reflected by, transferred to or absorbed by various solid materials. The floors, walls and ceilings will all affect how sound travels around a room, and may even transmit those vibrations to other rooms in a building. Even in a room that is encased in a dense material that's resistant to sound, such as a concrete basement, the sound can be reflected and perhaps even amplified to other areas of the structure.

But, how can these sound generating effects be prevented from creating an issue? The answer is naturally, soundproofing!

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

Give some thought to covering bare floors, which resonate and reflect sound, with a rug or carpet. Such a simple and straightforward solution can help to damp down any noise and spruce up the room to boot. Wall coverings or window drapes can also be used to boost soundproofing and are easy to fit and maintain.

Look for areas around the room where noise can escape or come in; doors, light fittings, windows and sockets, and seal up the gaps or holes. You can find specialist acoustic sealants in some DIY shops that repress the transmission of sound by suppressing the sound waves. They are a bit more pricey than regular sealants or plaster, but are worth it for their soundproofing qualities.

For anyone redecorating a room or renovating a property, look at the soundproofing benefits of adding a supplementary layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also known as drywall, gyproc or sheet rock), while you're undertaking this work. This is an economic and efficient soundproofing material because of its dense nature. It is terrific for areas such as music studios, home cinemas or home offices which are being built within the home. It is far better to hire an experienced contractor near you to fit the plasterboard unless you are experienced in this task.

The last do-it-yourself solution is to think about the doors in your home in Reepham. While hollow doors are lightweight and comparatively affordable, their soundproofing attributes are not the best. Switching hollow doors for solid ones will enhance the soundproofing of a room with only a little more cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING REEPHAM

If the level of sound pollution is high in your area, because of aircraft passing overhead, or heavy traffic on a busy road for example, then more severe ways to combat the excess noise will need to be investigated. The best solution for resolving these problems is to call in a competent soundproofing and acoustic firm from the local area.

Soundproofer Near Reepham Norfolk

Be prepared to answer the four following questions during a survey of your particular soundproofing requirements:

  1. What are the particular sounds that you need to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it sounds from inside your house such as a teenagers bedroom or family room, or external noises such as overflying aircraft, noisy neighbours, street noise, etc.
  2. What exactly is the size of the room or space that needs to be soundproofed?
  3. What is the room you wish to soundproof made from? (i.e. a lined concrete wall, a plasterboarded partition wall or a brick wall).
  4. Where is the majority of the sound emanating from? The walls, ceiling, doors, floor or windows.

Your answers to these queries will enable you to receive quotations for the different solutions available that match your needs. The parts of your room that are responsible for the biggest noise issues will each require different solutions.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, WALLS and FLOORS

There are two key areas that must be addressed to soundproof any space:

  1. Increase the absorption of sound.
  2. Minimise sound the reverberation and amplification of sound.

This will require a site survey to verify which areas require improving from the current condition.

A professional will look at the different ways to add mass and density to the areas with problems. The use of acoustic rubbers and foams of varying mass and density will help in absorbing sounds and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Insulation between any existing voids will be improved or upgraded to lessen the sound amplification and resonation of these sound boxes. Floor and ceiling voids and wall cavities can all be likened to 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 absorb unwelcome sounds than a single layer made of one sort of soundproofing material. This is because the different material densities react in different ways with varying frequencies and will provide a much better overall resolution to your soundproofing project.

Any soundproofing specialist in Reepham must follow the Part E of the Building Regulations, if dealing with a residential property. These regulations must be observed in order to safeguard yourself and neighbours from the harmful effects of noise pollution.

Trade bodies in the soundproofing industry who provide qualifications, advice and training are the Association of Noise Consultants and the Institute of Acoustics. Any Reepham company showing ANC or IOA accreditation will have been appraised to ensure they offer the highest quality, standards and reliability of work within the soundproofing industry.

AMW (Acoustic Mineral Wool)

Acoustic grade mineral wool is specifically designed to be installed in the cavity spaces of ceilings, floors and walls, to reduce reverberation, absorb airborne sound and improve acoustic performance.

Acoustic Mineral Wool Reepham

Coming in slabs of 600mm x 1200mm and 25 millimetre, 50 millimetre, 75 millimetre and 100 millimetre thicknesses, AMW is readily available from soundproofing stores. AMW is safe for use in your property in Reepham, as it has an inert chemical composition and is non-flammable, it is also eco-friendly being made, in some part, from recycled materials. It won't encourage the growth of bacteria, mould or fungi, nor does it react with any materials or substances that it comes into contact with (i.e. brickwork, plastics, metal wall ties or masonry).

Especially effective as a sound absorption filler when installed in the gaps between stud partitioning, suspended ceilings and flooring joists, AMW is widely used in the construction sector for fire, acoustic and thermal insulation.

Soundproofing Foam Reepham

After doing some elementary keyphrase research, it seems that one of the most commonly searched for terms on Google and Bing is for "soundproofing foam" and for homeowners in Reepham, perhaps "soundproofing foam Reepham". Now, this would imply that a lot of people are trying to find a solution to soundproof their properties, and are hoping that soundproofing foam will do this.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but the fact is that acoustic foam isn't going to be the answer, and will definitely not reduce the racket caused by your noisy neighbours in Reepham.

The customary "egg box" shaped foam, that appears to be the trademark of soundproofing, was not actually developed for stopping the transmission of noise, but has the purpose of reducing amplifying and echoing in music studios and similar settings, where it can also enhance the sound clarity in a room. This product is not good for preventing noise from travelling through the wall of a neighbouring property, or even moving around your house and causing a nuisance. Seeing as acoustic foam is porous and spongy, it actually lets sound pass right through it, and has not got the consistency to block it.

It might be that you actually have a music room in your home in Reepham, in which case this material could be extremely useful for you.
