Soundproofing Tenterden

Soundproofer Tenterden Kent (TN30): If you are anxious about the amount of noise that is infiltrating your Tenterden property, be it in a bedroom, home office, lounge or studio, you should consider installing or upgrading the soundproofing. Conversely you might wish to soundproof a particular room to keep load noises in, for example in a home cinema or family room, so that others don't get disturbed. Whatever your requirements are, soundproofing will offer you peace of mind and sanity.

It is important for us to learn how sound travels and is transmitted around a structure before it's possible to find solutions to stop it from happening.

Sound is able to move in only two ways:

1. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

2. By the vibration of air molecules.

Sound also travels through water, but unless you are looking at soundproofing a pool or aquarium we'll simply consider its isolation via materials and air.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any open ducting, gaps around doors, ill fitted windows and even electrical switches and sockets can all be responsible for the transmission of sound outside or into a room. What we hear and identify as sound is really the vibration of air molecules being picked up by our ear drums. All sounds are transferred through the air in this same fashion; it doesn't matter if it's aeroplanes, heavy machinery, busy traffic, kids playing or music playing that produces the sound.

You should therefore think of a room as a boat and carefully inspect it for leaks before sailing off into the sunset.

SOUND THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can additionally be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by solid objects and structures. Sound will cause vibrations in the ceilings, floors and walls of your rooms, and can result in a resonating effect which is transmitted outside of the room itself. Even a room made of solid concrete, such as a cellar, can create a resonance path which transmits sound waves, and even amplify them, to other parts of a property.

So, what is the easiest way to stop these vibrations having an impact on other people? Soundproofing of course.

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Give some thought to covering a bare floor, which reflects and resonates sound, with a carpet or rug. Such a simple and straightforward solution can enhance a room and help dampen down any noises at the same time. Window drapes and wall coverings can also be employed to enhance soundproofing and are simple to install and maintain.

Locating and sealing any holes or gaps in your rooms, think doors, windows, electrical sockets and light fittings, is also an easy task for a capable do-it-yourselfer. There are unique acoustic sealants available on the market that absorb the sound waves, and don't transfer them to the surrounding materials. They are a little more expensive than standard plaster or sealants, but they're more than worth it for their soundproofing efficiency.

If you are going to be renovating or redecorating while dealing with your soundproofing, then look into the possibility of putting up an additional skin of plasterboard (also known as gyproc, sheet rock or drywall). Plasterboard is a fairly dense material that is both economical and efficient for soundproofing a room. It's effective if you are setting up a home office, home cinema or games room in your property in Tenterden. It's best to hire a reliable contractor near you to fit the plasterboard unless you have some experience in this kind of work.

One last easy soundproofing option is to check the materials from which your doors are made. Hollow doors are comparatively cheap although their soundproofing capabilities are far from ideal. If you're able to change to solid doors you will discover that it boosts your room's soundproofing more cheaply than some other solutions.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS TENTERDEN

If the sound pollution is excessive in your area, due to aircraft flying over, or heavy traffic on a nearby road for instance, then more substantial ways to deal with the excess noise will have to be explored. You'll obtain the best possible soundproofing outcome by employing the services of an experienced soundproofing company.

The first questions you should be asked are:

1. What noise or sounds are you looking to suppress? i.e. External things like road noise, neighbours playing loud music, overflying aircraft etc, or internal sounds from a teenagers bedroom or family room.
2. Where is the primary source of the sound emanating from? i.e. Overhead, through the doors, ceiling, windows, walls or flooring, or a combination of all sorts of things.
3. What type of room or property do you need to soundproof? Does it have a stud partition wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a brick wall etc.
4. How large is the space you need to be soundproofed?

Your answers to these questions will enable you to get itemised quotes for the various available solutions that match your circumstances. There will be distinct solutions for each of the main key areas of the space you want to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

There are two key areas that must be dealt with to soundproof any room or space:

1. Sound absorption needs to be enhanced.
2. Minimise sound amplifying and reverberation.

An on-site survey will be necessary to examine the elements that need to be improved.

A specialist will consider the different ways to add density and mass to the problem areas. This additional mass will include ways to enhance absorption of the sound energy through the use of acoustic rubber or foam to achieve the maximum sound reduction impacts.

Any voids in the area may require some kind of deadening material to be placed between them to lower noise resonation. 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 undesired noise.

It is far better to use combined layers of different densities to soak up undesirable noises than a single layer made from one material. This is due to the fact that different frequencies are affected by different materials, therefore a range of shapes, densities and layers within your soundproofing armoury are necessary for the best results.

Part E of the Building Regulations deal with the soundproofing of residential properties, and must be adhered to by any soundproofing service in Tenterden. These regulations have the purpose of protecting neighbours and other residents in the immediate area from the impacts of noise pollution.

Trade bodies in the soundproofing industry who provide advice, qualifications and training are the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC). Only those Tenterden firms that have been appraised and accredited by these organisations for professionalism, quality and reliability are allowed to bear the logo.

Acoustic Mineral Wool (AMW)

For you sound absorption needs in Tenterden, AMW (or acoustic mineral wool) is one of the handiest products available for the soundproofing of houses or other structures, and has various different applications. Specifically designed to be installed in the cavity spaces of walls, ceilings and floors, acoustic mineral wool is effective in improving acoustic performance, absorbing sound waves and dampening vibrations.

Widely available in thicknesses of 25mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm, acoustic mineral wool commonly comes in 600mm x 1200mm "slabs". AMW is safe for use in your house in Tenterden, as it has an inert chemical composition and is non-flammable, it is also eco-friendly being partly made out of recycled materials. It does not react with brickwork, metal wall ties, plastics, masonry, or other materials or substances that it comes into close contact with, nor does it encourage the development of mould, fungi or bacteria.

Recognised in the construction sector for its thermal, acoustic and fire insulation qualities, AMW is notably effective as a sound absorbing filler when installed between flooring joists, suspended ceilings and stud partitioning. In relation to separating floors and walls, and in order to adhere to Part E of the Building Regulations, AMW can be used side by side with other soundproofing materials.... READ MORE.

Acoustic Underlay Tenterden

An effective way of adding a degree of soundproofing to your property in Tenterden, without any unwelcome disruption, is to add acoustic or soundproofing underlay. This is designed for use on concrete or timber floors and can be used under laminate, engineered wood, vinyl planks, carpet, and other flooring types.

Essentially, soundproofing underlay can be a particularly effective remedy where your problem is predominantly impact noise and not an airborne noise issue. Recent increases in the popularity of "hard" floor finishes in Tenterden homes, means problems with impact noise are becoming more and more commonplace. Such things as children running around, shifting furniture and general foot traffic, are the kind of noise we are talking about here.

You shouldn't get soundproofing underlay confused with regular carpet underlay, although some carpet suppliers may attempt to palm you off with this claiming it has good soundproofing qualities. If your noise issues are severe, ensure that you invest in a quality acoustic underlay from a respectable vendor.

Although it is a valuable product with regard to impact noise, acoustic underlay has differing degrees of success when it comes to dealing with airborne noise pollution such as incessant talking, blaring TV's and loud music, and some products are better than others. Consequently, when picking out a product it's vital to identify the exact types of noise you are wanting to lower, and chat about this with your supplier or soundproofing specialist in advance.
