Soundproofer Torquay Devon (TQ1): If you're worried by the level of noise that's infiltrating your Torquay property, be it in a home office, studio, bedroom or lounge, you need to think about installing or upgrading the soundproofing. In some circumstances you may be looking at soundproofing so you do not disturb others in the house from a music room, home cinema or family room. Whatever your needs, soundproofing will offer you peace of mind.
First we should discover precisely how sound moves and can be transmitted before we are able to identify ways to combat any sound intrusion or escape from your home.

There basically a couple of ways by which sound can travel around a home:
1. Within and around a solid object by reflection and vibration.
2. By the vibration of air molecules.
Although sound also travels through water, unless you're eager to reduce sounds from a swimming pool or aquarium, we'll only be interested in how to soundproof the rooms of a structure.
SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR
If you look around the space to be soundproofed and discover gaps around doors, heating ducts, ill fitted windows and even electrical sockets and light fittings, these are all causes of sound transmission. What we identify and hear as sound is essentially the vibration of air molecules being picked up by our ear drum. All sounds travel through the air in this same manner; it doesn't matter if it's music playing, nearby traffic, kids playing, machinery or aeroplanes that generates the sound.
You should therefore think of your room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that require sealing.
SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES
Sound waves can additionally be reflected by, absorbed by or transferred to solid materials and structures. Sound will vibrate the ceilings, floors and walls of your rooms, and may result in a resonation effect which is transmitted beyond the area. Care has to be taken with solid brick or concrete walls, such as in cellars, because sound can be reflected and amplified to other parts of your property.
So, what's the best way to stop these sound vibrations having an impact on others? Soundproofing of course.
BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING
If you have bare floors or floorboards, think about laying a few rugs or cover with a carpet to help reduce any sound reflections and vibrations. Not only will such a simple solution help to reduce your problem with noise, it can also spruce up the room. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also dampen sound vibrations and reflections through walls and windows without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofing installers.

Finding and sealing any gaps around the room, think light fittings, windows, doors and electrical sockets, is also a simple job for a capable do-it-yourselfer. There are some unique acoustic sealants available on the market which absorb the sound waves, and do not transfer them to surrounding materials. They may be a bit more pricey than normal plaster or sealants, but they're more than worth it for their soundproofing efficiency.
If the room you are working on is an empty canvas and you're doing the soundproofing as you decorate or renovate, think about installing a layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also called sheet rock, gypsum board or drywall). This is a fairly dense type of board that is a perfect and economic soundproofing material. If you are fitting a music studio, home office or movie room then plasterboard can help reduce sound transference from and to that room, and can be decorated easily after completion. It's better to hire an experienced contractor near you to fit the plasterboard unless you are experienced in this task.
Last but not least you ought to check all doors in the room that you're soundproofing. Hollow doors are comparatively cheap but their soundproofing capabilities are a far cry from ideal. If you're able to change to solid doors you will find it boosts your soundproofing at minimal extra cost.
PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS TORQUAY
If your home is in a high sound pollution location, such as next to a busy road or near an airport, you'll have to be more imaginative in your attempts to boost the soundproofing qualities of your home. This is where hiring the services of a professional soundproofing company will deliver the most effective results.

They will ask the following four questions during a basic assessment of your requirements:
- What is the space you want to soundproof made from? (i.e. a plasterboarded partition wall, a fully lined concrete wall or a brick wall).
- How large is the area requiring soundproofing?
- Is it internal noise or external sounds that you want to deal with? i.e. To lessen traffic, aircraft or noisy neighbours, or is it from internally created sounds from a home cinema or music room for example.
- From what direction does the sound appear to be coming from? i.e. Through the doors, windows, floor, walls or ceiling or a mix of all of them.
A certified soundproofing firm in Torquay will look at all these aspects to offer remedies for your sound problems over a range of budgets. They'll offer different strategies to soundproof each of the troublesome areas within your home.
PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, CEILINGS and FLOORS
To soundproof any type of room requires 2 key components:
- Sound absorption will have to be increased.
- Reduce the effect of sound reflection, vibration and amplification by solid surfaces.
To accurately assess the areas that need improvement, an on-site survey needs to be conducted by a professional soundproofing team.
A specialist will investigate the different methods for adding mass and density to the troublesome areas. This additional mass will include ways to improve absorption of the sound energy by means of acoustic rubber or foam to achieve the maximum sound reduction impacts.

Insulation between any existing voids will be improved or upgraded to lower the sound amplification and resonation of these "sound boxes". If you visualise these spaces as similar to a drum then you'll appreciate that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities open, you're effectively creating a noise amplifying area.
Combined layers of materials with different masses and densities do a better job of absorbing noise than a single soundproofing material layer of one kind. The various materials will isolate different frequencies of noise and provide a more rounded feeling and auditory experience to a room.
All soundproofing firms in Torquay must follow the guidelines for domestic buildings set down in the Building Regulations (Part E). These legislation must be followed so as to safeguard yourself and neighbours from being negatively impacted by sound pollution.
Trade associations in the soundproofing industry who provide guidance, qualifications and training are the Institute of Acoustics and the Association of Noise Consultants. Any Torquay firm bearing IOA or ANC accreditation will have been appraised to ensure they provide the highest reliability, standards and quality of workmanship within the soundproofing industry.
