It is important for us to understand how sound is transmitted around a building before it is possible to identify strategies to stop it from happening.

Soundproofing Waltham Cross Hertfordshire (EN8)

Basically, sound travels in two ways throughout your room:

1. The vibration or air molecules through the air.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

As dolphin and whale songs can show, sound also penetrates long distance through water, however unless your aim is to soundproof an aquarium or swimming pool we will just look at the methods of soundproofing buildings and rooms.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any single glazed windows, gaps around doors, heating ducts and even electrical switches and sockets can all affect the transmission of sound into or outside a room. All noise and sounds will create movement and vibration of the air molecules, and it is this that we hear. It matters not if it's traffic, aeroplanes, music, machinery or kids playing, they all produce and transfer sound in the same way.

It is helpful to visualise your room as a boat and carefully inspect it for leaks before sailing off into the sunset.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We all know that sounds are merely the vibrations of air being picked up by the ear, however those vibrations are also reflected by or transferred to solid objects. The ceilings, walls and floors will all have an impact on how sound travels around a room, and may even transfer those vibrations to other areas of a property. Even if a room is encased in a solid material that's resistant to sound, such as a concrete lined cellar, the sound can be transmitted and possibly even amplified to other areas of the dwelling.

How should we stop these vibrations and sounds from having an adverse effect on other folks? Soundproofing is the answer.

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor is more resonant than one covered with a rug or carpet. These soft coverings will help absorb sounds and can also add a touch of style to an otherwise bare room. Window drapes and wall coverings can also be employed to boost soundproofing and are simple to fit and maintain.

Another inexpensive and do-it-yourself solution is to plug any holes around windows, light fittings, sockets and door frames. It is possible to buy professional acoustic sealants in some builders merchants which repress the transfer of sound by absorbing it. There may be a considerable difference in price compared to a regular sealant, but the soundproofing capabilities are much better and will make a huge difference to a room's level of soundproofing.

If you're going to be redecorating or renovating while tackling your soundproofing, then look into the possibility of putting up an additional layer of plasterboard (also referred to as drywall, gyproc or sheet rock). Plasterboard is a dense material which is both economical and efficient for soundproofing purposes. If you are putting in a movie room, studio or study then plasterboard can help reduce sound transference to and from that room, and can be decorated easily after installation. If you do decide on plasterboard to help with your soundproofing exploits it is wise to employ a specialist fitter in Waltham Cross, to gain the maximum effect from its installment.

Last but not least you need to check out all doors in the area you're planning to soundproof. If you've got hollow doors installed in your rooms you'll discover that they can vibrate with any sound that is aimed at them. Solid wood doors, whilst a bit more expensive, can have a considerable effect on the soundproofing qualities of a room.

To soundproof any type of room requires two key strategies:

  1. Sound absorption will need to be improved.
  2. Reduce the effect of sound vibration, reflection and amplification by hard surfaces.

This requires an on-site survey to find out what areas require improving from the current condition.

The team will figure out ways to add materials that have different masses and densities to boost the sound absorption capabilities of the room. This extra mass will help to enhance the absorption of sound by means of acoustic foam or rubber to achieve the maximum impact of noise reduction.

Any noticeable voids in the area may require some sort of deadening material to be inserted between them to lessen sound resonation. Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be likened to a drum, where the space acts like an amplification source for undesirable sounds.

It is best to use mixed layers of different density materials to soak up unwanted sounds than a solitary layer made from one material. This is because the various frequencies are absorbed differently by different kinds of materials, therefore a range of shapes, densities and layers within your soundproofing panels are necessary for the best results.

All soundproofing technicians in Waltham Cross need to follow the requirements for residential properties laid out in Part E of the Building Regulations. These regulations have to be followed in order to protect yourself and others from the harmful effects of sound pollution.
