Soundproofing Omagh

Soundproofer Omagh Northern Ireland (BT78): If your property in Omagh is being affected by noise, maybe you should consider putting in some soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your home office, studio, lounge or bedroom. Conversely you may wish to soundproof an individual room to keep load noises in, for instance in a family room or home cinema, to avoid disturbing others. Whichever soundproofing needs are required, it will be essential for everybody's sanity and peace of mind.

First it will help if we understand just how is transmitted and travels before we are able to identify ways to reduce any sound intrusion or escape from your home.

There are only two ways in which sound can travel around a room:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

Sound can also be transmitted through water, however unless you're planning to soundproof a pool or aquarium we'll just consider its isolation via materials and air.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

If you glance around the room or area to be soundproofed and notice gaps around doors, open air-ducting, ill fitting windows and even electrical sockets and light fittings, these are all factors that can transfer sound. All sounds and noise will initiate the vibration and movement of the air molecules, and it is this that we pick up and hear. All sounds travel through the air in the same manner; it matters not if it's aircraft, machinery, busy traffic, music or kids playing that generates the sound.

Any holes within the room can be regarded as a leak and will need to be blocked.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We all know that sound is just the vibration of air being processed by the ear, but that vibration is also reflected by or transferred to solid materials. The floors, ceilings and walls will all have an impact on how sound moves around a room, and can even transfer those vibrations to other areas of a building. Even a room made from solid concrete, such as a cellar, can produce a resonance path which transmits any sound waves, and sometimes amplify them, to other areas of a dwelling.

But, how can these effects be stopped from causing a problem? The answer is obviously, soundproofing!

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

A bare floor surface resonates more than one covered by a carpet or rug. Such a simple solution can enhance a room and help dampen down any noise at the same time. Hanging wall coverings and curtains can also dampen sound reflections and vibrations through walls and windows without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofers.

Track down areas around the rooms where sound can come in or escape from; electrical sockets, light fittings, door frames and windows, and close off any gaps or holes. You can find specialist acoustic sealants in many builders merchants which deaden the transfer of sound by absorbing it. There could be a considerable difference in price compared to a standard sealant, however the soundproofing abilities are far better and will make a massive difference to a room's level of soundproofing.

If you are going to be redecorating or renovating while tackling your soundproofing requirements, then look into installing an extra skin of plasterboard (also referred to as drywall, sheet rock or gypsum board). Plasterboard is a fairly dense material which is both economical and efficient for soundproofing purposes. If you're putting in a home cinema, home office or studio then plasterboard can help in reducing sound pollution for that room, and can be decorated easily after installment. It's best to hire a specialist Omagh tradesman to put up the plasterboard unless you've got experience in its application.

Lastly you should check out all doors in the area you're planning to soundproof. Hollow doors are a comparatively cheap option but their soundproofing capabilities are a far cry from the best. Exchanging hollow core doors for solid core will significantly enhance the soundproofing of a room with only a little more cost.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS OMAGH

If the sound levels are excessive in your area, because of aircraft passing overhead, or heavy traffic on a busy road for example, then more severe ways to combat the excess noise may have to be explored. You will get the best possible soundproofing results by using the expertise of a certified soundproofing specialist.

They should ask the following four questions during a basic assessment of your needs:

1. From what direction does the sound seem to be coming from? i.e. Through the windows, doors, floor, walls or ceiling or a mixture of all of them.
2. What are the dimensions of the area or room that has to be soundproofed?
3. What are the specific noises that you need to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it sounds from within your home such as a teenagers bedroom or home cinema, or external noises such as aircraft, road noise, neighbours, etc.
4. What space needs to be soundproofed? i.e. Is it an attic conversion, a brick walled room, a stud partitioned room or a concrete lined basement.

A certified soundproofing contractor in Omagh will look at all of these factors to provide remedies for your noise issues over a range of budgets. There will be distinct remedies for each of the key areas the space you wish to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, FLOORS and CEILINGS

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

1. Lessen the effect of sound reflection, vibration and amplification by solid surfaces.
2. Sound absorption will need to be enhanced.

An on-site survey will be required to look at the elements that need to be improved.

The installer will work out ways to add materials that have different masses and densities to increase the sound absorption of the room. Soundproofing will be enhanced by the addition of acoustic rubber and foam which will absorb excess noise and enhance and a room's sound quality.

The insulation between any voids will be upgraded to lessen the sound resonation and amplification of these sound boxes. If you picture these spaces as similar to a drum then you'll see that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities empty, you're effectively creating a sound amplification area.

It is far better to use combined layers of different density materials to deaden unwelcome noises than a solitary layer made of one material. This is because different frequencies are affected by different materials, therefore a variety of densities, shapes and layers within your soundproofing armoury are needed.

Any soundproofing installer in Omagh must adhere to the the Building Regulations (Part E), if dealing with a domestic property. Such requirements must be followed in order to protect yourself and others from the harmful effects of sound pollution.

Watch out for contractors showing the logos of the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) or the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) to ensure you're using a business which is knowledgable and fully qualified in the soundproofing industry. Any Omagh company displaying IOA or ANC accreditation will have been vetted to ensure they provide the highest quality, reliability and standards of workmanship within the industry.

Acoustic Door Seals

Acoustic door seals are an essential component of soundproofing systems in structures and buildings. They are designed to reduce the amount of noise that passes through doorways, thereby enhancing the overall sound insulation of a room.

Acoustic door seals are made from a variety of materials including rubber, foam and weatherstripping, all of which are picked for their capacity to block and absorb sound waves. This helps to eliminate any sounds which may escape through cracks or gaps in the doorframe. Some of the best performing acoustic door seals go a step further and include sound-deadening materials such as mass loaded vinyl, which significantly boost their sound blocking capabilities.

The effectiveness of an acoustic door seal depends on several factors, including its size, shape and installation location. For maximum sound insulation, it is imperative to use door seals that are especially designed for the type of door and the intended use of the room. For example, doors that lead to lecture halls or recording studios require more advanced soundproofing strategies than those that lead to private offices.

For optimal functionality of an acoustic door seal, proper installation is crucial. The door seal has to be installed without any gaps between it and the doorframe, and periodic replacement is essential to retain its sound-blocking properties.

To summarize, acoustic door seals are a crucial component of soundproofing systems in buildings and structures. The right door seals can make a significant difference in reducing noise, regardless of whether the space is a private office, a lecture hall or a recording studio.

Government Grants for Soundproofing

AMW (Acoustic Mineral Wool)

Having various applications for your sound absorption needs, AMW (otherwise known as acoustic mineral wool) is one of the handiest materials on the market for the soundproofing of properties in Omagh. Absorbing sound waves, improving acoustic performance and dampening vibrations, acoustic mineral wool is specifically designed to be installed in the cavity spaces of ceilings, walls and floors.

Commonly available in "slabs" of 1200mm x 600mm, AMW also comes in different thicknesses (25mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm). Often partly made from recycled materials, acoustic mineral wool is non-combustible and is chemically inert. It is rare for fungi, bacteria or mould to be found growing in acoustic mineral wool, and it doesn't have a reaction with metal wall ties, plastics, brickwork, masonry, or other materials or substances that it makes close contact with.

When utilised as a sound absorption infill between floor joists, stud partitioning and suspended ceilings, AMW is especially effective, and it is recognised in the building industry for its acoustic, thermal and fire insulation attributes. In relation to separating floors and walls, and in order to conform to Part E of the Building Regulations, AMW can be used in partnership with other soundproofing materials.... READ MORE.
