Soundproofing Grimsby

Soundproofer Grimsby Lincolnshire (DN31): If you're concerned about the level of noise that's assailing your Grimsby property, be it in a lounge, bedroom, studio or home office, you should look at putting in some soundproofing. You might also be aware of noise from a family room or home cinema room leaking out and disturbing others in the house. Either way, soundproofing is important for your peace of mind.

It's crucial for us to understand how sound travels around a structure before it is possible to identify methods to prevent it from occurring.

Basically, sound travels in two ways throughout your room:

1. Through the air by vibration of air molecules.

2. Within and around a solid object by reflection and vibration.

Sound can also travel through water, but unless you're planning to soundproof a pool or aquarium we'll simply consider its isolation through air and materials.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any open ducting, single glazed windows, gaps around doors and even electrical sockets and switches can all affect the transmission of sound outside or into a room. What we hear and identify as sound is in fact the vibration of air molecules reaching our ear drums. It does not matter if it's aircraft, music, heavy machinery, kids playing or traffic, they all generate and transmit sound in the same way.

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

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

If sound moves through the air by vibrations, then it isn't surprising that those vibrations can be transferred to, absorbed by or reflected by different materials. The floors, walls and ceilings will all affect how sound moves around a room, and can even transport that vibration to other areas of a building. Even if a room is encased in a solid material which is proofed against vibrations, such as a concrete basement, the sound can sometimes be reflected and even amplified to other areas of the dwelling.

So, how can we stop these sounds affecting others? Soundproofing obviously.

SIMPLE STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

A bare floor is more resonant than one covered by a carpet or rug. Not only will such a simple solution help to reduce your noise problem, but it can also jazz up the room. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also dampen sound reflections and vibrations through windows and walls without the need for a professional team of soundproofers.

Search for areas in your rooms where sound can escape or come in; light fittings, sockets, doors and windows, and seal up any gaps or holes. You can find professional acoustic sealants in many builders merchants which subdue the transmission of sound by suppressing the sound waves. There might be a little difference in the price in comparison with a standard sealant, but the soundproofing capabilities are much better and can make a massive difference to a room.

If you're going to be redecorating or renovating while considering your soundproofing, then think about putting up an extra layer of plasterboard (also called drywall, sheet rock or gyproc). This is a dense type of boarding which is an economic and useful soundproofing material. It's perfect if you're putting in a movie room, study or music studio in your property in Grimsby. If you do decide to use plasterboard to help with your soundproofing exploits it is advisable to employ a professional fitter in Grimsby, to gain the maximum possible benefit from its installation.

Lastly you should check out all doors in the room that you're soundproofing. If you have hollow doors fitted to rooms you will find that they can vibrate and will resonate any sound that hits them. If you are able to change to solid wood doors you'll find it enhances your room's soundproofing at little extra cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS GRIMSBY

If you live in a high noise pollution area, such as next to a busy road or near an airport, you'll have to be more imaginative in how to improve the soundproofing qualities of your house. The best solution for resolving these problems is to get in touch with a reliable soundproofing and acoustic contractor from your local area.

Expect to answer the following four questions during a survey of your soundproofing needs:

1. What area needs to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it an attic conversion, a concrete lined basement, a brick walled room or a plasterboard partition room.
2. Is it internal noise or external sounds that you need to tackle? i.e. To stop traffic, next door neighbours or passing trains, or is it from internally generated sounds from a music studio or home cinema for instance.
3. How large is the space requiring soundproofing?
4. Where is most of the sound emanating from? The flooring, walls, doors, ceiling or windows.

With honest answers to these queries a genuine soundproofing company in Grimsby will be able to supply you with solutions to suit your circumstances, and just as important, your budget. Remedies will vary in accordance with the different materials required for each of the main trouble spots within your property.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, FLOORS and CEILINGS

To soundproof any kind of room requires 2 key strategies:

1. The absorption of sound will have to be maximised.
2. Reduce sound amplifying and resonating.

Doing this requires an on-site survey to see which areas require enhancing from the present condition.

A professional soundproofing company will investigate the different ways to add density and mass to the problem areas. The addition of acoustic foams and rubbers of different mass and density will help in absorbing sounds and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Insulation between any existing voids will be upgraded or improved to lower the sound amplification and resonation of these "sound boxes". Wall cavities or flooring and ceiling voids can all be likened to a drum, where the space inside acts like an amplification source for any unwanted sounds.

Combined layers of materials with different masses and densities work better at absorbing noise than a solitary layer of one material type. The various materials will isolate different noise frequencies and offer a more rounded feeling and auditory experience to a room.

Part E of the Building Regulations regulate the soundproofing of domestic properties, and will have to be observed by any installation company in Grimsby. Such legislation must be adopted in order to safeguard yourself and neighbours from the harmful effects of sound pollution.

Trade bodies in the soundproofing sector who provide training, qualifications and guidance are the Association of Noise Consultants and the Institute of Acoustics. Only those Grimsby firms that have been vetted and accredited by these trade associations for reliability, quality and professionalism are allowed to bear the logo.
