It's crucial to realise how sound travels around a structure before it is possible to find strategies to prevent it from occurring.

Soundproofing Whitwell Derbyshire (S80)

There basically a couple of ways by which sound can move around a home:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

Sound is also transmitted through water, however unless you're thinking about soundproofing an aquarium or pool we will only consider the isolation via air and materials.

SOUND THROUGH THE AIR

Any gaps around doors, heating ducts, ill fitting windows and even light fittings and electrical sockets can all be responsible for the transmission of sound outside or into a room. All sounds and noise will initiate the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and this is what we identify and hear. No matter what the source of the sound; busy traffic, aeroplanes, heavy machinery, children playing or music, all sounds are produced and transmitted in exactly the same way.

If you try to think of your room as if it were a bucket, you are attempting to identify any leaks that need sealing before you fill it with water.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can also be transferred to, absorbed by or reflected by solid objects and structures. Sound will cause vibrations in the floors, walls and ceilings of your rooms, and can cause a resonating effect that is transmitted outside the area. Even a solid concrete room, such as a cellar, can generate a path of resonance which channels any sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other rooms in a dwelling.

But, how can these sound generating effects be prevented from creating an issue? The solution is naturally, soundproofing!

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

A bare floor is more resonant than one covered with a carpet or rug. These soft coverings and rugs will help to soak up sounds but can also add a touch of elegance to an otherwise bare room. Wall coverings or window drapes can also be used to boost soundproofing and are simple to fit and maintain.

Another economical and DIY solution is to plug any gaps around electrical sockets, doors, light fittings and windows. There are some special acoustic sealants available on the market which suppress the sound waves, and don't transmit them to the surrounding materials. They are a bit more expensive than standard sealants or plaster, but they're very useful for their soundproofing qualities.

If the room you are working on is a blank canvas and you're doing the soundproofing while you renovate or decorate, consider putting up another skin of soundboard or plasterboard, (also known as gyproc, drywall or sheet rock). This is a dense type of board that's a perfect and economic soundproofing material. It is great if you are installing a studio, home office or cinema room in your house in Whitwell. If you aren't familiar with putting up studding and plasterboard, it is best to use a professional team to guarantee the best soundproofing benefits from its use.

One last simple soundproofing solution is to examine the materials from which your doors are made. Hollow doors are relatively cheap although their soundproofing capabilities are a far cry from the best. Solid core doors, while a little bit more pricey, can do wonders for improving the soundproofing in a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS WHITWELL

If the sound levels are high in your location, on account of aircraft passing overhead, or traffic noise from a busy road for example, then more serious ways to deal with the excess noise may have to be explored. This is an instance when hiring the services of an experienced soundproofing installer will bring the most effective results.

Soundproofer Near Whitwell Derbyshire

They will ask the four following questions during a basic evaluation of your requirements:

  1. From which direction does the sound seem to be coming? i.e. Through the floors, windows, doors, ceiling or walls or a combination of all.
  2. What are the specific noises that you need to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it outside noises such as road noise, neighbours playing loud music, aircraft etc, or is it from within your property such as a teenagers bedroom or family room.
  3. How big is the room requiring soundproofing?
  4. What area needs to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it a stud partitioned room, an attic conversion, a concrete lined cellar or a brick walled room.

Your answers to these questions will allow you to receive quotes for the various available solutions that match your requirements. The areas of your room that are causing the biggest problems will each need different remedies.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, WALLS and FLOORS

There are 2 areas that must be dealt with to successfully soundproof any space or room:

  1. Reduce the ways that sound is transmitted through and reflected by solid surfaces.
  2. Update and improve the level of sound absorption.

To precisely analyse the aspects that need improvement, a site survey needs to be completed by a local soundproofing company.

The team will work out ways to add materials that have different densities and masses to improve the sound quality of the room. Soundproofing can be boosted by the addition of acoustic rubber and foam which will absorb sound waves and enhance and a room's sound quality.

Any noticeable voids in the room may need some kind of muffling material to be placed between them to lower sound resonation. Floor and ceiling voids and wall cavities can all be likened to a drum, where the space acts like an amplification source for unwanted sounds.

Soundproofing is improved if different densities and materials are utilised, rather than installing a single form of material. The diverse materials will reduce different frequencies of sound and offer a more harmonious feeling and auditory experience to a room.

Any soundproofing specialist in Whitwell will need to follow the Part E of the Building Regulations, if your property is residential in nature. These regulations have the aim of protecting other residents in the immediate area from the impact of sound pollution.

Watch out for companies displaying the logos of the Association of Noise Consultants or the Institute of Acoustics to guarantee that you are dealing with a business that's knowledgable and fully qualified in the soundproofing industry. Only those Whitwell businesses that have been appraised and authorised by these trade associations for professionalism, reliability and quality are permitted to display the logo.

Noisy Neighbour Soundproofing Whitwell

Noisy Neighbour Soundproofing WhitwellResiding next to a neighbour who produces a lot of noise can be a terrible ordeal. Your peace and quality of life can be quickly disrupted by constant noise such as never-ending parties, barking dogs or loud music. Soundproofing presents itself as a viable solution to this problem. Soundproofing involves the placement of materials on walls, ceilings and floors to either block or absorb sound, which is essential to address noise problems. The most common soundproofing materials include soundproof curtains, acoustic foam and mass-loaded vinyl. You have the option of adding sound insulation to your walls or selecting double-glazed windows to minimise outside noise. Soundproofing may not always be feasible for people who are renting since it can be a time-consuming and expensive process. Thus, it's important to engage in dialogue with your neighbour to find a solution that works for both of you. All in all, having a noisy neighbour nearby can be frustrating, but there are various remedies available, such as communication, soundproofing, insulation, and legal routes, while making sure to prioritize one's well-being and seeking support from professionals as necessary.

Soundproofing Foam Whitwell

Just recently I thought I'd check out what homeowners in Whitwell are searching online for with regards to soundproofing, and it would appear that when looking on Google one of the most commonplace requests is for "soundproofing foam". And on a local basis enquiries include things like "soundproofing foam Whitwell". That's really quite worrying, as it indicates that Whitwell property owners are assuming that acoustic foam products are suitable for reducing their noise problems.

The last thing I wish to do is rain on anyone's parade, but if you are convinced that the racket from your noisy next door neighbours in Whitwell can be blocked out with acoustic foam, then you're barking up the wrong tree.

The familiar "egg box" style foam, that seems to be the trademark of soundproofing, wasn't actually developed for blocking out noise, but is meant for the reduction of resonation and echoing in music studios and comparable surroundings, where it can also improve the acoustic performance of a room. This type of product isn't effective for stopping noise from penetrating a wall from a neighbouring property, or even to stop sound from travelling around your home and being a nuisance. Acoustic foam is in fact porous and doesn't block noise, it absorbs it and actually allows sound to pass through it.

Then again, if you're working on a project such as a music room, this material may be helpful for you, and can be purchased in various sheet sizes and different thicknesses (typically 25mm and 50mm).
