Soundproofing Peterhead

Soundproofer Peterhead Scotland (AB42): If your home in Peterhead is being adversely affected by noise, perhaps you should think about installing or upgrading your soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your bedroom, studio, lounge or home office. In some cases you could be looking at soundproofing so you do not disturb others from a children's room, music studio or home cinema. Whatever your requirements are, soundproofing will give you peace of mind and sanity.

It is important for us to understand how sound travels and is transmitted around an area before it is possible to find solutions to stop it from occurring.

There are only two ways by which sound can travel around a home:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. Through the vibration of objects or materials.

As dolphin and whale songs can show, sound also penetrates long distance through water, but unless your aim is to soundproof a swimming pool or aquarium we'll just look at the methods of soundproofing structures and rooms.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any heating ducts, ill fitting windows, gaps around doors and even electrical switches and sockets can all be responsible for the transmission of sound into or outside a room. All noise vibrates the molecules in the air and these vibrations are what we hear as sound. No matter the source of the noise; aeroplanes, kids playing, music playing, road traffic or machinery, all sounds are created and transmitted in exactly the same way.

If you can think of your room as if it were a bucket, and you're trying to find any leaks which need sealing before you fill it up with liquid.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We know that sounds are just the vibration of air being processed by the ear, but that vibration is also reflected by or transferred to solid objects. The floors, walls and ceilings will all have an impact on how sound travels around an area, and may even transfer those vibrations to other rooms in a building. Even in a room that's built from a dense material that is resistant to vibrations, such as a concrete cellar, the sound can sometimes be transmitted and maybe even amplified to other areas of the property.

How can we prevent these sounds and vibrations from having an adverse effect on other people? Soundproofing is the solution.

BASIC SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

A bare floor surface resonates more than one covered with a rug or carpet. Such a simple and straightforward solution can enhance a room and help dampen down any noises at the same time. Curtains, in particular heavy blackout ones, will also subdue any sounds from invading or escaping the area, economically and without the need for professional installation.

Another inexpensive and DIY resolution is to plug any gaps or holes around windows, light fittings, electrical sockets and door frames. You can find specialist acoustic sealants in many DIY merchants which deaden the transfer of sound by absorbing the sound waves. There may be a little difference in price compared to a normal sealant, however the soundproofing abilities are a lot better and can make an enormous difference to a room's soundproofing.

For those of you renovating a property or redecorating a room, look at the soundproofing properties of adding a supplementary layer of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called sheet rock, gyproc or drywall), while you're carrying out this project. This is a dense type of boarding which is a perfect and economic soundproofing material. If you are fitting a study, cinema room or music studio then plasterboard can help in reducing sound pollution for that room, and can be readily decorated after completion. If you do decide to use plasterboard to help with your soundproofing it is best to use a specialist fitter in Peterhead, to achieve the maximum effect from its installment.

One final simple soundproofing remedy is to look at the materials your doors are made of. If you have hollow doors installed in your rooms you will discover they can resonate and vibrate with any sound that they experience. If you are able to change to solid core doors you will find it boosts your soundproofing more cheaply than some other solutions.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING PETERHEAD

If the level of sound pollution is high in your area, on account of aircraft flying over, or traffic noise from a nearby road for example, then more severe ways to deal with the excess noise may have to be investigated. The best solution for resolving these problems is to get in touch with a decent acoustic and soundproofing contractor from your local region.

Be ready to answer the following four questions during a survey of your soundproofing requirements:

1. What are the particular noises that need to soundproofed? i.e. Is it outside noises such as road noise, noisy neighbours, trains etc, or is it from within your home such as a home cinema or music room.
2. What are the dimensions of the room or area that needs to be soundproofed?
3. What sort of property or room do you need to soundproof? Does it have a lined concrete wall, a stud partition wall or a brick wall etc.
4. From which direction do the sounds appear to be coming from? i.e. Through the ceiling, windows, doors, walls or floor or a mix of all.

Your answers to these queries will allow you to receive quotations for the various available solutions that match your needs. Remedies might vary in accordance with the different materials needed for each of the main trouble spots in your environment.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF FLOORS, CEILINGS and WALLS

To soundproof any sort of room requires two key strategies:

1. The absorption of sound needs to be enhanced.
2. Reduce the ways that sound is reflected off and transmitted through hard surfaces.

Doing this requires an on-site survey to ascertain what areas require developing from the present state.

A professional soundproofer will investigate the different ways to add density and mass to the areas with problems. This additional mass will include ways to improve absorption of the sound energy by the use of acoustic rubber or foam to gain the maximum impact of sound reduction.

Any noticeable voids in the area may require some kind of muffling material to be inserted between them to lessen noise resonation. If you visualise a drum for instance, you are looking at a noise amplifying void surrounded by a resonating material; essentially what you may find inside ceiling and floor joists, or cavities in walls.

Combined layers of differing density and mass materials work better at absorbing noise than a solitary layer of one material type. This is because the different material densities react better with varying frequencies and will deliver a better acoustic resolution to your soundproofing project.

All soundproofing technicians in Peterhead must follow the legislation for domestic buildings as laid out in Part E of the Building Regulations. This regulation has the objective of protecting other residents in the area from the effects of sound pollution.

Acoustic Mineral Wool

One of the most useful materials on the market for the soundproofing of homes in Peterhead, acoustic mineral wool (AMW) has various applications for your sound absorption requirements. Acoustic grade mineral wool is specifically designed to be installed in the cavity spaces of ceilings, walls and floors, to absorb airborne sound, enhance acoustic performance and reduce reverberation.

Readily available in thicknesses of 25 millimetres, 50 millimetres, 75 millimetres and 100 millimetres, AMW commonly comes in 1200mm x 600mm "slabs". Made partly from recycled materials, acoustic mineral wool is non-flammable and is chemically inert. It does not encourage the growth of bacteria, mould or fungi, nor does it react with any substances or materials that it comes into contact with (i.e. masonry, plastics, metal wall ties or brickwork).

Especially effective as a sound absorbing infill when installed between stud partitioning, flooring joists and suspended ceilings, AMW is widely used in the construction sector for thermal, fire and acoustic insulation. When applied side by side with other soundproofing materials, AMW can help in compliance with The Building Regulations (Part E) with regards to separating floors and walls.... READ MORE.
