Soundproofing Uttoxeter

Soundproofer Uttoxeter Staffordshire (ST14): If noise is an issue in your property in Uttoxeter then it might be time to look into installing soundproofing to make your living room, bedroom, home office or studio a haven of peace and quiet from your neighbours and the outside world. In some instances you could be thinking about soundproofing so you don't disturb other inhabitants from a music studio, family room or home cinema. Either way, soundproofing is important for peace of mind and sanity.

Initially we need to discover precisely how sound travels before we can identify ways to reduce any excessive noise escaping from or intruding into your property.

Sound basically moves in two ways throughout your room:

1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

2. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

As whale and dolphin songs can show, sound also travels through water, but unless your aim is to soundproof an aquarium or swimming pool we'll just look at the strategies for soundproofing rooms and buildings.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Sounds can be transferred out of and into a room through gaps around doors, heating ducts, ill fitted windows and even electrical switches and sockets. Any noise vibrates the molecules in the air and this vibration is what we identify and hear as sound. It does not matter whether it's machinery, children playing, busy traffic, music playing or passing aircraft, they all create and transmit sound in the same way.

It is helpful to visualise your room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that need to be plugged before you can dare to sail it.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We know that sounds are simply the vibrations of air being picked up by the ear, however those vibrations are also reflected by or transferred to solid materials. Sound can be moved around a property from its source via the vibration of walls, ceilings and floors. Even a room made from solid concrete, such as a cellar, can create a path of resonance which transports sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other areas of a building.

However, how can these effects be prevented from causing a problem? The solution is naturally, soundproofing!

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor surface resonates more than one covered with a rug or carpet. These soft coverings will help soak up noise but can also add a bit of elegance to a previously bare room. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also suppress sound reflections and vibrations through windows and walls without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofers.

Another inexpensive and do-it-yourself remedy is to plug any gaps or holes around light fittings, windows, sockets and doors. It is possible to buy specialist acoustic sealants in many building supply stores which subdue the transfer of sound by suppressing the sound waves. Acoustic sealants are inclined to be a bit more expensive than regular sealant products, but the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is worth the additional cost.

For anyone renovating a property or redecorating a room, consider the soundproofing benefits of adding an extra skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called drywall, gyproc or sheet rock), whilst you're tackling the project. Plasterboard is a very dense material that's both economical and efficient for soundproofing a room. It's superb if you are installing a studio, movie room or home office in your property in Uttoxeter. It's best to hire a certified Uttoxeter tradesman to put up the plasterboard unless you've some experience in this sort of work.

One last easy soundproofing solution is to check the materials from which your doors are made. Hollow doors are a comparatively cheap option although their soundproofing qualities are far from the best. Solid core doors, while a tad more pricey, can have a considerable effect on the soundproofing qualities of a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING UTTOXETER

If the sound levels are excessive in your area, due to heavy traffic on a busy road nearby, or aircraft passing overhead for instance, then more serious methods to reduce the excess noise will need to be investigated. The best way to resolve these issues is to call in a competent soundproofing and acoustic firm from the local region.

The initial questions you should be asked are:

1. From what direction do the sounds appear to be coming from? i.e. Through the ceiling, walls, doors, floor or windows or a combination of all of these.
2. What are the dimensions of the space or room that has to be soundproofed?
3. Is it external sounds or internal noise that you would like to deal with? i.e. To cut out aircraft, neighbours or traffic, or is it from internally generated sounds from a family room or music studio for example.
4. What room needs to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it a brick walled room, a concrete lined cellar, an attic conversion or a stud partitioned room.

With honest answers to these queries a good soundproofing installer in Uttoxeter will work out solutions for your circumstances, and just as important, your spending budget. They'll provide you with different methods to soundproof each of the main trouble spots within your home.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, FLOORS and CEILINGS

To soundproof any kind of room requires two key strategies:

1. Update and increase the level of sound absorption.
2. Cut down on the effects on the way sound is transmitted through and reflected by solid surfaces.

To effectively determine the elements that need to be improved, an on-site survey needs to be conducted by a soundproofing company in Uttoxeter.

Solutions from the survey will probably include the addition of materials with different densities and masses to help boost the soundproofing characteristics of the area. The use of acoustic foams and rubbers of varying mass and density will help to absorb noise and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Voids between floor joists might need insulation to eliminate resonation spaces between them. Floor and ceiling voids and wall cavities can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts like an amplification source for any unwanted noise.

Soundproofing abilities are maximised if different densities and materials are employed, rather than installing a single sort of material. The diverse materials will isolate different sound frequencies and deliver a more balanced feeling and auditory experience to a room.

All soundproofing firms in Uttoxeter will be needing to follow the regulations for residential properties specified by the Building Regulations (Part E). This set of regulations is a requirement in law to protect yourself and neighbours from being affected by noise pollution in a setting where folks live and work.

Keep an eye out for companies bearing the logos of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) or the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) to be sure you're using a business that is fully qualified and knowledgeable in the soundproofing sector. Any Uttoxeter firm bearing IOA or ANC accreditation has been appraised to make sure they provide the highest reliability, standards and quality of workmanship within the soundproofing industry.
