Soundproofing Seaford

Soundproofer Seaford East Sussex (BN25): If you are anxious about the amount of noise that's assailing your Seaford home, be it in a home office, studio, lounge or bedroom, you need to look into installing or upgrading the soundproofing. Alternatively you may want to soundproof an individual room to keep load noises in, for example in a family room or home cinema, so that others aren't disturbed. Whichever soundproofing needs are required, it will be vital for you and your neighbour's peace of mind.

First we should understand precisely how is transmitted and travels before we can identify ways to eliminate any loud noise getting into or out of your home.

Basically, sound moves in two ways throughout your room:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. The vibration or air molecules through the air.

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

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any open ducting, gaps around doors, ill fitted windows and even electrical switches and sockets can all affect the transmission of sound into or outside a room. All noise and sound will create the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and this is what we hear and identify. All sounds are transmitted through the air in the same fashion; it does not matter if it's nearby traffic, kids playing, music, machinery or aeroplanes that creates the sound.

Any gaps within a room can be regarded as leaks and will have to be plugged.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can also be transferred to, absorbed by or reflected by solid materials and structures. Sound can be transported around a dwelling from its source by the vibration of floors, walls and ceilings. Even a room made of solid concrete, such as a cellar, can generate a resonance path which transports sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other areas of a property.

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

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor is more resonant than one covered with a carpet or rug. Not only will such a simple and straightforward solution help reduce your problem with noise, it can also perk up the room. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also avoid sound vibrations and reflections through windows and walls without the need to bring in a team of professional soundproofing specialists.

Look for areas around the rooms where sound can come in or escape from; windows, sockets, light fittings and door frames, and stop up any gaps. You can find specialist acoustic sealants in some builders merchants that subdue the transmission of sound by absorbing the sound waves. They may be somewhat more pricey than standard plaster or sealants, but they're more than worth it for their soundproofing qualities.

If you're luckily enough to be renovating or redecorating while dealing with your soundproofing, then look into installing an additional skin of plasterboard (also referred to as drywall, gypsum board or sheet rock). This is an efficient and economical soundproofing material owing to its dense nature. If you're fitting a movie room, home office or games room then plasterboard will help to minimise sound pollution for that room, and can be readily decorated after completion. If you're not familiar with fitting plasterboard and studding, it is generally better to employ a professional Seaford contractor to guarantee the optimal soundproofing results from its use.

One last simple soundproofing option is to check the materials your doors are made of. Hollow doors are fairly cheap although their soundproofing capabilities are a far cry from ideal. If you are able to change to solid doors you will find it improves your soundproofing at little extra cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS SEAFORD

If the level of sound is high in your area, because of traffic noise from a busy road nearby, or aircraft passing overhead for instance, then more serious methods to deal with the excess noise may need to be investigated. This is where using the services of a specialist soundproofing contractor will bring the most effective results.

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

1. How large is the space that needs soundproofing?
2. What sounds or noise are you seeking to reduce? i.e. External factors like next door neighbours, overflying aircraft, road noise etc, or sounds inside your house from a home cinema or music room.
3. What sort of area or room do you wish to soundproof? Does it have a stud partition wall, a lined concrete wall or a brick wall etc.
4. Where is the majority of the noise coming from? The windows, flooring, walls, ceiling or doors.

A specialist soundproofing firm in Seaford will take into consideration all of these points to offer solutions to your noise issues over a range of budgets. There will be distinct solutions for each of the key areas the room you want to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, FLOORS and CEILINGS

Two key strategies are needed to soundproof any size of space:

1. Cut down on the ways that sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.
2. Maximise sound absorption.

This requires an on-site survey to determine exactly what areas need developing from the present state.

Solutions identified by the survey will include adding some materials with different masses and densities to help improve the soundproofing qualities of the space. Soundproofing can be boosted by the installation of acoustic rubber and foam which absorbs excess noise and improves and a room's sound quality.

Voids between floor joists might require insulation to eliminate resonation spaces between them. Floor and ceiling voids and cavities in walls can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts like an amplification source for any unwanted sounds.

It is far better to use mixed layers of different densities to deaden unwanted noises than a single layer made of one type of material. This is because the different material densities react better with various frequencies and will provide a better acoustic resolution to your soundproofing.

Any soundproofing contractor in Seaford will have to comply with the the Building Regulations (Part E), if dealing with a residential property. These legislation should be observed so as to protect yourself and others from being negatively impacted by noise pollution.

The Institute of Acoustics and the Association of Noise Consultants are trade bodies who offer training, qualifications and are representative of the best in companies and contractors who provide soundproofing solutions. Any Seaford firm bearing ANC or IOA accreditation will have been vetted to ensure they offer the highest quality, reliability and standards of work within the industry.

Soundproofing Foam Seaford

I was fascinated to discover just recently that one of the most commonplace soundproofing search phrases typed into Google was "soundproofing foam", and for local searches "soundproofing foam Seaford" and "acoustical foam Seaford". Now, that is quite interesting because this would suggest that local householders are turning to acoustic foam as a solution to their noise problems in Seaford.

It's not my intention to ruin anyone's day, but most noise related issues cannot be solved with this product, and if your objective is to filter out the din caused by noisy next door neighbours in Seaford, you'll need to look for something better.

The "egg box" style foam that you regularly see being sold in sheet or tile form is not actually meant for stopping the transmission of noise, but was really developed for use in music studios and similar settings, to reduce echoing and reverberation and improve the acoustic performance of a room. This sort of acoustic foam is not efficient at stopping sound from passing through a neighbours wall or preventing noise from travelling around the rooms of your house. Rather than blocking it, soundproofing foam allows sound to pass through it, because it is actually porous.

This foam might however be extremely useful for you if you are creating a music studio in your property in Seaford, in which case you will discover that it is available in different thicknesses and sheet sizes.

Skip Hire Seaford

Dealing with the waste which is produced when doing home improvements or property makeovers in Seaford, is one of the major problems with conducting this kind of project. Soundproofing isn't like building a house extension, where huge levels of waste can be generated, nevertheless there will still be some waste to deal with. Although some soundproofers will be glad to take away any waste, many will leave it for you to deal with.

If you're like most people in Seaford, you will hire a skip to get rid of this waste. If you've never hired a skip before, you may not be aware of the fact that skips come in different volumes and sizes. Mini-skips can take roughly 2-3 cubic yards of waste, midi-skips can take roughly 4-5 cubic yards of waste, builders skips can take roughly 6-8 cubic yards of waste (65 bin bags) and roll-on-roll-off skips can take roughly 20-25 cubic yards of waste.
