Soundproofing Todmorden

Soundproofer Todmorden West Yorkshire (OL14): If your property in Todmorden is being affected by noise, maybe you should consider putting in some soundproofing to bring a new sense of tranquility to your lounge, home office, bedroom or studio. You may also be aware of noise from a home cinema or family room leaking out and disturbing other inhabitants. In any event, soundproofing is crucial for your peace of mind.

It's crucial for us to understand how sound is transmitted around an area before it is possible to discover techniques to stop it from occurring.

There are only two ways in which sound can be transmitted around a home:

1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

2. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

Sound is also transmitted through water, however unless you are looking at soundproofing an aquarium or swimming pool we'll only consider the isolation via materials and air.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any open ducting, gaps around doors, single glazed windows and even electrical sockets and light fittings can all be methods of transmission of sound outside or into a room. All noise and sounds will initiate movement and vibration of the air molecules, and it is this that we hear. No matter what the source of the noise; children playing, heavy machinery, aircraft, road traffic or music playing, all sound is produced and transferred in precisely the same manner.

It is helpful to imagine a room as a boat and carefully inspect it for leaks that need sealing before you can sail it.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

Sound waves can additionally be reflected by, transferred to or absorbed by solid materials and structures. The walls, ceilings and floors will all have an impact on how sound travels around an area, and can even transfer that vibration to other rooms in a building. Even a room made of solid concrete, such as a cellar, can create a path of resonance which transports any sound waves, and even amplify them, to other areas of a building.

So, how can we stop these vibrations having a detrimental impact on others? Soundproofing of course.

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

Think about covering bare floors, which reflect and resonate sound, with a rug or carpet. Such a simple and straightforward solution can help to damp down any noise and spruce up the room to boot. Wall coverings or window drapes can also be used to improve soundproofing and are easy to install and maintain.

Another economical and do-it-yourself remedy is to plug any gaps or holes around sockets, light fittings, door frames and windows. Plugging the gaps and holes with a specialist acoustic sealant found in some DIY stores and builders merchants, will make a big difference to how your room sounds. Acoustic sealants can be a touch more pricey than regular plaster or other sealant products, however the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is certainly worth the additional cost.

If you're fortunate enough to be redecorating or renovating while tackling your soundproofing, then think about the possibility of putting up an extra skin of plasterboard (also referred to as sheet rock, gypsum board or drywall). This is an efficient and economical soundproofing material owing to its dense nature. It's ideal for areas such as movie rooms, music studios or studies that are being built within the home. It's preferable to hire an experienced contractor near you to put up the plasterboard unless you've experience in its application.

The final solution for do-it-yourself enthusiasts is to look at the doors in your property in Todmorden. If you have hollow doors fitted to rooms you'll discover they can resonate and vibrate with any sound that hits them. Solid doors, while a tad more pricey, can do wonders for improving the soundproofing in a room.

You'll receive the best soundproofing outcome by hiring the expertise of a skilled soundproofing specialist.

Be ready to answer the four following questions during an evaluation of your specific soundproofing requirements:

1. Which is the main area where the sound causes the biggest issues? i.e. Is it coming through windows/doors, up through the floors, down from above or from the walls, or is it a mixture of all things.
2. How big is the room you wish to be soundproofed?
3. Is it external sounds or internal noise that you want to tackle? i.e. To stop aircraft, traffic noise or neighbours playing loud music, or is it from internally generated sounds from a teenagers bedroom or home cinema for instance.
4. What is the space you want to soundproof constructed from? (i.e. a brick wall, a stud partition wall or a fully lined concrete wall).

Your answers to these questions will allow you to get itemised quotes for the various available solutions that match your needs. The parts of your room that are responsible for the biggest problems may each require different remedies.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, CEILINGS and WALLS

2 key components are required to soundproof any size of space:

1. Improve sound absorption.
2. Reduce sound resonating and amplifying.

Doing this requires a site survey to verify exactly what areas require improving from the present condition.

A specialist will consider the different methods for adding mass and density to the trouble spots. Soundproofing will be boosted by the installation of acoustic foam, rubber and other materials which absorbs soundwaves and enhances and the sound quality of a room.

Any voids in the room may need some form of muffling material to be inserted between them to lessen 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 undesired noise.

It is better to use combined layers of different densities to soak up unwanted noises than a solitary layer fabricated from one kind of soundproofing material. This is because different frequencies are affected by different materials, therefore a variety of layers, shapes and densities within your soundproofing panels are required.
