Soundproofing Leominster

Soundproofer Leominster Herefordshire (HR6): If your Leominster home is being adversely affected by noise, maybe you should consider installing or upgrading your soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your lounge, bedroom, studio or home office. Conversely you may wish to soundproof a single room to keep load noises in, such as in a home cinema or family room, to avoid disturbing others. Whatever your requirements, soundproofing will help to maintain your sanity and peace of mind.

Firstly it might help if we get our heads around exactly how sound moves and can be transmitted before we can find ways to reduce any excessive noise intruding into or escaping from your property.

Sound basically travels in two ways throughout your room:

1. By the vibration of air molecules.

2. Around and within a solid object by vibration and reflection.

Sound is also transmitted through water, but unless you're thinking about soundproofing a pool or aquarium we will just consider its isolation through air and materials.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

Any single glazed windows, heating ducts, gaps around doors and even electrical sockets and light fittings can all be methods of transmission of sound outside or into a room. All sound and noise will initiate the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and it is this that we hear and identify. All sounds are moved through the air in this same way; it doesn't matter if it's heavy machinery, aeroplanes, road traffic, kids playing or music playing that produces the sound.

If you can imagine your room as a bucket, and you're attempting to find any leaks that need sealing before you can fill it up with liquid.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS

We all know that sound is merely the vibration of air reaching the ear, but that vibration is also absorbed by solid materials. Sound will cause vibrations in the walls, floors and ceilings of your rooms, and can cause a resonating effect which is transmitted outside the area. Even a room made from solid concrete, such as a cellar, can create a resonance path which transmits sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other parts of a building.

However, how can these effects be stopped from creating an issue? The answer is of course, soundproofing!

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

A bare floor is more resonant than one covered by a rug or carpet. Such a simple and straightforward solution can spruce up a room and help to dampen down any noises to boot. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also suppress sound vibrations and reflections through windows and walls without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofing specialists.

Another inexpensive and DIY solution is to plug any gaps around windows, light fittings, sockets and doors. Sealing the gaps and holes with a specialist acoustic sealant found in many DIY and building material shops, can make a big difference to how your room sounds. Acoustic sealants are inclined to be slightly more expensive than regular sealant products, however the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is definitely worth the small additional cost.

If your room is an empty canvas and you are soundproofing while you renovate or decorate, look at installing a layer of soundboard or plasterboard, (also known as gyproc, drywall or sheet rock). This is a relatively dense type of boarding that is a perfect and economic soundproofing material. It's great for spaces like music studios, studies or movie rooms which are being built within a property. If you're not familiar with fitting studding and plasterboard, it is advisable to use a specialist Leominster contractor to guarantee you the optimum soundproofing results from its use.

The final solution for DIY enthusiasts is to think about the doors within your property in Leominster. While hollow doors are light and comparatively cheap, their soundproofing characteristics are not that brilliant. Solid wood doors, while a little more pricey, can do wonders for improving the soundproofing in a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING LEOMINSTER

If you happen to live in a high sound pollution location, such as near an airport or next to busy roads, you will need to be more innovative in your attempts to improve the soundproofing in your home. The best solution for resolving these issues is to get hold of a decent soundproofing and acoustic company from the local region.

Expect to answer the four following questions during an assessment of your particular soundproofing requirements:

1. How large is the space you wish to have soundproofed?
2. What room requires soundproofing? i.e. Is it a brick walled room, a concrete lined cellar, a stud partitioned room or an attic conversion.
3. Where is the majority of the sound emanating from? The doors, floor, windows, ceiling or walls.
4. What sounds or noise are you seeking to eliminate? i.e. External factors such as aircraft, road noise, noisy neighbours etc, or internal sounds from a home cinema or music room.

With accurate answers to these queries a professional soundproofing company in Leominster will come up with solutions for your situation, and just as importantly, your spending budget. The parts of your room that are responsible for the biggest noise issues will each need different solutions.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, WALLS and CEILINGS

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

1. Update and increase the level of sound absorption.
2. Minimise sound amplifying and reverberation.

Doing this requires an on-site survey to determine exactly what areas require enhancing from the present state.

Conclusions from the survey will include the addition of materials of different masses and densities to help boost the soundproofing characteristics of the space. The addition of acoustic foams and rubbers of varying density and mass will help to absorb noises and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

The insulation between any voids will be improved or upgraded to reduce the noise amplification and resonation of these "sound boxes". If you imagine a drum for example, you're looking at a noise amplifying void enclosed within a resonating material; in essence what you might encounter within floor and ceiling joists, or wall cavities.

It's better to use combined layers of different densities to absorb undesired sounds than a single layer made of one soundproofing material. The various materials will eliminate different sound frequencies and provide a more balanced auditory experience and feeling to a room.

Part E of the Building Regulations cover the soundproofing of domestic properties, and must be adhered to by any soundproofing company in Leominster. This set of regulations is a legally binding requirement to protect yourself and neighbours from the effects of noise pollution in a setting where people live and work.
