It's important for us to understand how sound is transmitted around an area before it's possible to find solutions to prevent it from happening.

Soundproofing Skipton North Yorkshire (BD23)

There are only a couple of ways in which sound can move around a home:

1. By the vibration of air molecules.

2. Around and within a solid object by reflection and vibration.

As whale and dolphin song demonstrates, sound also travels through water, however unless you wish to soundproof a pool or aquarium we will look only at the methods of soundproofing rooms and buildings.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any gaps around doors, single glazed windows, heating ducts and even electrical switches and sockets can all be methods of transmission of sound into or outside a room. All noise and sound will create movement and vibration of the air molecules, and it is this that we hear. No matter the source of the noise; heavy machinery, aeroplanes, road traffic, children playing or music, all sounds are produced and transferred in precisely the same way.

It is helpful to visualise your room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that require sealing.

SOUND THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

We know that sound is just the vibrations of air reaching the ear, but those vibrations are also transferred to solid objects. Sound can be moved around a building from its original source through the vibration of floors, ceilings and walls. Even a room made from solid concrete, such as a basement, can create a path of resonance which transmits any sound waves, and even amplify them, to other rooms in a building.

However, how can these effects be prevented from causing a problem? The solution is of course, soundproofing!

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering a bare floor surface, which reflects and resonates sound, with a rug or carpet. These soft coverings will help soak up noise but can also add a bit of style to an otherwise bare room. Curtains, and in particular heavy blackout ones, can also suppress any sounds from invading or escaping the area, economically and without the need for specialist soundproofing.

Another inexpensive and DIY solution is to plug any holes around doors, windows, light fittings and electrical sockets. It is possible to purchase professional acoustic sealants in many builders merchants that subdue the transmission of sound by absorbing it. There will be a considerable difference in the price compared to a normal sealant, but the soundproofing abilities are significantly better and can make a huge difference to a room.

For those of you who are renovating a property or redecorating a room, evaluate the soundproofing gains of adding another skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also known as drywall, sheet rock or gypsum board), while you are undertaking this project. This is an efficient and economical soundproofing material owing to its dense nature. If you're putting in a home office, home cinema or games room then plasterboard will help to minimise sound pollution for that room, and can be decorated easily after completion. If you do decide to use plasterboard to help with your soundproofing it is wise to employ a professional fitter in Skipton, to get the maximum effect from its installation.

Lastly you need to check out all doors in the area you're looking to soundproof. Although hollow doors are lightweight and comparatively cheap, their soundproofing capabilities aren't the best. Exchanging hollow doors for solid ones will appreciably enhance the soundproofing of a room with only a little more cost.

The first questions you can expect to be asked are:

  1. What area needs to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it an attic conversion, a brick walled room, a concrete lined basement or a plasterboard partition room.
  2. How large is the area requiring soundproofing?
  3. Is it internal noise or external sounds that you want to target? i.e. To stop neighbours, overflying aircraft or road noise, or is it from internally generated sounds from a music studio or home cinema for instance.
  4. Where is most of the noise pollution coming from? The ceiling, floor, doors, windows or walls.

Your answers to such questions will allow you to get price quotes for the various available solutions to suit your requirements. They will provide you with different methods to soundproof each of the trouble spots within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS

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

  1. Increase sound absorption.
  2. Cut down on the effects on the way sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.

A site survey will be necessary to assess the elements that need improving.

The specialists will work out ways of adding materials with different densities and masses to boost the sound absorption capabilities of the area. The addition of acoustic foams and rubbers of varying mass and density will help to absorb noise and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Any noticeable voids in the room may need some kind of deadening material to be installed between them to lower sound resonation. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts as an amplifying area for any undesirable sounds.

Mixed layers of materials with different masses and densities work better at absorbing noise than a single soundproofing material layer of one kind. This is due to the fact that the various different materials react in different ways with varying frequencies and will deliver a better overall resolution to your soundproofing.

All soundproofing companies in Skipton must follow the legislation for residential buildings set down in the Building Regulations (Part E). Such requirements should be followed in order to safeguard yourself and others from being negatively impacted by sound pollution.

The Association of Noise Consultants and the Institute of Acoustics are trade associations who provide training, qualifications and represent the best in contractors and companies which offer soundproofing services. Any Skipton contractor bearing ANC or IOA accreditation has been vetted to make sure they provide the highest reliability, quality and standards of work within the industry.
