First it would be a good idea to appreciate exactly how sound moves and can be transmitted before we can identify ways to combat any excessive noise intruding into or escaping from your home.

Soundproofing Warminster Wiltshire (BA12)

Sound is able to travel in a couple of ways:

1. By vibration of solid materials and objects.

2. The vibration or air molecules through the air.

As whale and dolphin song demonstrates, sound also penetrates long distance through water, however unless your aim is to soundproof an aquarium or swimming pool we will look only at the strategies for soundproofing structures and rooms.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

Sounds can be transferred into and out of a room through heating ducts, gaps around doors, ill fitted windows and even light fittings and electrical sockets. All noise and sounds will initiate movement and vibration of the molecules in the air, and this is what we hear. Irrespective of the source of the sound; aircraft, children playing, heavy machinery, music playing or nearby traffic, all sounds are produced and transferred in precisely the same fashion.

Any holes in the room can be looked at as leaks and will have to be closed off.

SOUND THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We now know that sounds are just the vibration of air being processed by the ear, but that vibration is also transferred to solid objects. The floors, walls and ceilings will all affect how sound moves around a room, and may even transfer that vibration to other areas of a building. Even in a room that is encased in a dense material that's resistant to sound, such as a concrete lined cellar, the sound can sometimes be reflected and even amplified to other areas of the building.

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

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Think about covering bare floors, which reflect and resonate sound, with a carpet or rug. Such a simple solution can help to damp down any noise and enhance the room to boot. Curtains, particularly heavy blackout types, can also suppress any noises from invading or escaping the area, economically and without requiring professional installation.

Track down areas around the room where sound can escape or come in; light fittings, sockets, windows and doors, and seal any holes or gaps. There are some special acoustic sealants available to buy which absorb the sound waves, and don't transmit them to surrounding materials. Acoustic sealants are inclined to be a touch more pricey than standard plaster or other sealant products, however their unique soundproofing qualities far outweigh the extra cost.

For anybody redecorating a room or renovating a property, look at the soundproofing properties of adding a supplementary skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called sheet rock, drywall or gyproc), whilst you're tackling the project. Plasterboard is a very dense material that's both effective and economical for soundproofing purposes. It's superb if you're installing a home office, home cinema or games room in your home in Warminster. If you do choose plasterboard to help with your soundproofing exploits it is a good idea to hire a professional fitter in Warminster, to get the maximum benefit from its installment.

Lastly you should inspect all doors in the rooms that you're soundproofing. Hollow doors are reasonably cheap but their soundproofing qualities are far from the best. Exchanging hollow doors for solid ones will appreciably boost the soundproofing characteristics of an area with only a little more cost.

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

  1. Reduce sound the amplification and resonating of sound.
  2. Sound absorption needs to be improved.

To precisely analyse the elements that need to be improved, an on-site survey must be conducted by a local soundproofing company.

Solutions from the survey will probably include adding some materials of different masses and densities to help boost the soundproofing characteristics of the space. Soundproofing will be boosted by the addition of acoustic rubber, foam and other materials which absorbs excess noise and enhances and a room's sound quality.

Voids between joists may need insulating to eliminate the resonating space between them. If you imagine such spaces like a drum then you will see that by leaving wall cavities and floor or ceiling joist spaces empty, you're creating a sound amplifying area.

Combined layers of differing density and mass materials do a better job of absorbing noise than a single material layer of one type. The different materials will eliminate different sound frequencies and offer a more rounded feeling and auditory experience to a room.

Any soundproofing installer in Warminster must comply with the the Building Regulations (Part E), if your property is residential in nature. This set of regulations is a legally binding requirement to protect your neighbours and yourself from the effects of noise pollution in an environment where folks work and live.

Trade associations in the soundproofing sector who offer training, qualifications and guidance are the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC). Only those Warminster businesses that have been vetted and accredited by these trade bodies for quality, reliability and professionalism are permitted to bear the logo.

Acoustic Underlay Warminster

Adding an acoustic or soundproofing underlay is a terrific way of adding some soundproofing to your Warminster property without the need for any serious disturbance. These soundproofing underlays can be used on both wood and concrete floors, and underneath laminate, engineered wood, carpet and vinyl planks floor coverings.

Basically, acoustic underlay can be a particularly beneficial solution where your issue is not so much airborne noise but mostly an impact noise problem. The current use of hard floor finishing products means that impact noise pollution has become a rising issue for homeowners in Warminster. Things like children stomping around, general footfall and shifting furniture, are the sort of noise we are referring to here.

Don't confuse regular carpet underlay with genuine soundproofing or acoustic underlay, since some carpet suppliers might try to palm you off with such products, claiming that they're suitable. Be sure you purchase a good quality acoustic underlay, if if you are suffering from significant noise issues.

While the installation of acoustic underlay can be extremely successful for reducing impact noise within your property, airborne noise like constant talking, blaring televisions and loud music, can be a different thing altogether, with some underlays being much better than others and having varying success rates. So, it's important to understand the specific types of noise you're aiming to reduce before deciding on a product, and talk to your supplier or soundproofing expert about your specific situation.

Soundproofing Foam Warminster

Just recently I thought that I'd look into what householders in Warminster are searching online for with regards to soundproofing, and it appears that when looking on Google one of the most popular requests is "soundproofing foam". And on a local basis queries include things like "soundproofing foam Warminster". This is somewhat bewildering, because it implies a basic lack of awareness by local people who seem to be of the belief that their noise issues can be fixed by installing soundproofing foam products.

The last thing I am looking to do is rain on anyone's parade, but if you're thinking that the din from your noisy next door neighbours in Warminster can be significantly reduced with this kind of product, you're some way off the mark.

The customary "egg box" shaped foam, that appears to be the hallmark of soundproofing, is not actually designed for stopping the transmission of noise, but is meant for the reduction of resonation and echoing in music studios and similar spaces, where it can also improve the acoustic performance of a room. This product is not good for stopping noise from travelling through a party wall, or even moving around your home and being a nuisance. Soundproofing foam is in fact porous and does not block noise, it absorbs it and allows sound to pass through it.

It may be that you're actually creating a music studio in your home in Warminster, in which instance this material might be useful for you. (Tags: Soundproofing Foam Warminster, Acoustical Foam Warminster, Acoustic Foam Warminster, Soundproof Foam Warminster).
