Before we can find techniques for countering sound pollution, it will help if we understand precisely how sound travels.

Soundproofing St Austell Cornwall (PL25)

Sound is able to move in two different ways:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. In open spaces by movement of air.

Sound also travels through water, but unless you are planning to soundproof an aquarium or pool we'll only consider its isolation through materials and air.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any single glazed windows, gaps around doors, open air-ducting and even electrical sockets and light fittings can all be responsible for the transmission of sound outside or into a room. What we hear as sound is actually air molucules being vibrated and reaching our ear drums. It matters not whether it's heavy machinery, aeroplanes, nearby traffic, children playing or music playing, they all produce and transfer sound in the same manner.

Any gaps within the room can be looked at as leaks and will have to be plugged.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can additionally be reflected by, absorbed by or transferred to solid objects and structures. Sound can be moved around a building from its source via the vibration of ceilings, walls and floors. Even in a room that's encased in a solid material that's resistant against sound vibrations, such as a concrete basement, the sound can be reflected and even amplified to other rooms in the property.

How can we stop these sounds and vibrations affecting other people? Soundproofing is the solution.

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering bare floors, which resonate and reflect sound, with a rug or carpet. The rugs or other soft coverings will help absorb sounds and can also add a touch of elegance to an otherwise bare room. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also damp down sound reflections and vibrations through windows and walls without the need for a professional team of soundproofing specialists.

Look for areas around the rooms where noise can come in or escape from; windows, electrical sockets, door frames and light fittings, and stop up any holes or gaps. There are special acoustic sealants available to buy which suppress the sound waves, and don't transfer them to surrounding materials. There might be a little difference in price in comparison with a regular sealant, however the soundproofing capabilities are significantly better and can make a massive difference to a room's level of soundproofing.

If your room is an empty canvas and you're doing the soundproofing as you decorate or renovate, look at putting up another layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also known as sheet rock, gypsum board or drywall). Plasterboard is a dense material that's both economical and efficient in soundproofing an area. It is ideal for areas like music studios, movie rooms or studies that are being built within the home. If you do decide to use plasterboard to help with your soundproofing exploits it is advisable to use a specialist fitter in St Austell, to achieve the maximum possible effect from its installment.

The insulation between any existing voids will be improved or upgraded to lower the noise resonation and amplification of these "sound boxes". 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 unwanted noise.

It is far better to use combined layers of different density materials to soak up undesired noises than a solitary layer fabricated from one sort of material. This is because different materials react in different ways with varying frequencies and will deliver a much better overall resolution to your soundproofing exploits.
