Before we can discover ways in which to combat sound pollution, it would be a good idea to understand exactly how sound travels.

Soundproofing Stanford-le-Hope Essex (SS17)

Sound can move in a couple of ways:

1. The vibration or air molecules through the air.

2. By vibration of solid materials and objects.

Despite the fact that sound can also travel through liquids, unless you are wanting to isolate sounds from a swimming pool or aquarium, we'll only be concerned at how to reduce sound transmission in rooms within a property.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Substantial amounts of sound can be transmitted into and out of a room through single glazed windows, open air-ducting, gaps around doors and even electrical switches and sockets. What we hear and identify as sound is really the vibration of air molecules reaching our ear drums. No matter what the source of the noise; heavy machinery, nearby traffic, aircraft, kids playing or music playing, all sounds are produced and transmitted in precisely the same way.

If you can imagine your room as a bucket, and you're trying to find any leaks which need sealing before you fill it with water.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can also be reflected by, transferred to or absorbed by solid objects and structures. Sound can be transferred around a property from its source through the vibration of floors, ceilings and walls. Even if a room is encased in a dense material that's resistant to sound, such as a concrete cellar, the sound can sometimes be reflected and maybe even amplified to other parts of the structure.

However, how can these effects be prevented from causing a problem? The answer is not surprisingly, soundproofing!

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering bare floors, which reflect and resonate sound, with a carpet or rug. Not only can such a simple and straightforward solution reduce your problem with noise, but it can also perk up the room. Curtains, in particular substantial blackout styles, will also suppress any noises from escaping or invading a room, cost-effectively and without the need for specialist soundproofing.

Finding and sealing any gaps around the rooms, think door frames, windows, light fittings and sockets, is also a simple task for a capable do-it-yourselfer. There are special acoustic sealants available to buy that absorb the sound waves, and don't transmit them to the surrounding materials. They might be a little more expensive than normal sealants or plaster, but they're more than worth it for their soundproofing efficiency.

For anybody renovating a property or redecorating a room, consider the soundproofing gains of adding an extra layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also known as drywall, gypsum board or sheet rock), while you are undertaking the work. This is a fairly dense type of board that's a perfect and economic soundproofing material. If you're putting in a games room, study or movie room then plasterboard can help in reducing sound pollution for that room, and can be readily decorated after installation. If you do decide on plasterboard to help with your soundproofing exploits it is a good idea to hire a specialist fitter in Stanford-le-Hope, to get the maximum effect from its installation.

Insulation between any voids will be improved to reduce the sound amplification and resonation of these "sound boxes". Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space acts like an amplification source for any undesired noise.

It is better to use mixed layers of different density materials to deaden undesirable sounds than a solitary layer made from one kind of soundproofing material. This is because the different material densities react better with varying frequencies and will deliver a better resolution to your soundproofing.

Essentially, acoustic underlay can be a particularly effective remedy when your issue is not so much airborne noise but mainly an impact noise problem. The increased popularity of hard floor surface finishes means that impact noise pollution has become an increasing problem for householders in Stanford-le-Hope. Such things as general footfall, kids running around and shifting furniture, are the kind of noise that we are referring to here.

Do not be conned by unprincipled carpet stockists, who might attempt to sell you standard carpet underlay as a solution to your noise issues - this sort of product should not be confused with genuine soundproofing or acoustic underlay. If you have real issues with noise be sure to buy a quality acoustic underlay.

Although soundproofing underlay is mostly effective for impact noise, some products are better than others when faced with airborne noises like blaring televisions, loud music and constant talking. Consequently, when purchasing a particular underlay it's important to establish the exact kinds of noise you are looking to lower, and chat about this with your supplier or soundproofing specialist in advance.
