Soundproofing Redditch

Soundproofer Redditch Worcestershire (B98): If your home in Redditch is being affected by noise, maybe you should look into installing or upgrading your soundproofing to bring tranquillity to your lounge, studio, bedroom or home office. Conversely you might want to soundproof a specific room to keep noise in, such as in a family room or home cinema, to avoid disturbing others. Whichever soundproofing requirements are needed, it's vital for everybody's peace of mind.

Initially it might help if we discover precisely how sound travels and is transmitted before we can identify ways to combat any excessive noise escaping from or intruding into your home.

Sound basically moves in two ways throughout your home:

1. The vibration or air molecules through the air.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

As dolphin and whale songs can show, sound also travels long distances through water, but unless your aim is to soundproof an aquarium or pool we will just look at the techniques of soundproofing structures and rooms.

SOUND TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR

Any single glazed windows, open air-ducting, gaps around doors and even electrical sockets and light fittings can all be responsible for the transmission of sound into or outside a room. What we identify and hear as sound is really air molucules being vibrated and being picked up by our ear drum. All sounds are moved through the air in this same fashion; it matters not if it's passing aircraft, music playing, machinery, kids playing or traffic that creates the sound.

It is helpful to imagine a room as a boat and inspect it carefully for leaks that require sealing.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

Sound waves can additionally be transferred to, reflected by or absorbed by solid materials and structures. The walls, floors and ceilings will all have an effect on how sound moves around a room, and can even transmit that vibration to other areas of a building. Even in a room that is encased in a solid material that is proofed against vibrations, such as a concrete basement, the sound can sometimes be reflected and maybe even amplified to other areas of the structure.

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

BASIC STEPS IN SOUNDPROOFING

If you've got bare floorboards or floor surfaces, consider covering them with carpet or putting down a few rugs to help reduce any sound reflections and vibrations. These soft coverings will help to soak up noises and can also add a touch of elegance to an otherwise bare room. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also dampen sound vibrations and reflections through walls and windows without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofing installers.

Track down areas around the rooms where sound can escape or come in; electrical sockets, windows, light fittings and doors, and seal any gaps. You can find professional acoustic sealants in many builders merchants which subdue the transfer of sound by absorbing it. Acoustic sealants are inclined to be a bit more pricey than normal sealant products, however the special design has far greater soundproofing performance and is certainly worth the small additional cost.

If you are fortunate enough to be redecorating or renovating while dealing with your soundproofing requirements, then look at putting up an additional skin of plasterboard (also referred to as drywall, sheet rock or gypsum board). Plasterboard is a fairly dense material that's both economical and efficient in soundproofing a room. It is effective if you're installing a study, games room or movie room in your home in Redditch. It is wise to hire a reliable Redditch tradesman to put up the plasterboard unless you are experienced in this task.

Last but not least you should check out all doors in the space you're looking to soundproof. Hollow doors are a relatively cheap option although their soundproofing capabilities are a far cry from the best. If you're able to change to solid wood doors you will discover that it improves your soundproofing more cheaply than some other alternatives.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING REDDITCH

Some areas, for example those on aircraft flight-paths or next to busy roads, have naturally more issues with sound pollution and will need other ways to deal with the situation. The best way to resolve these issues is to get in touch with an established soundproofing and acoustic contractor from the local region.

They will ask the following four questions during a basic analysis of your needs:

1. How large is the room that you need to be soundproofed?
2. What sort of property or room do you want to soundproof? Is it a stud partition wall, a brick wall or a lined concrete wall etc.
3. Is it internal noise or external sounds that you would like to address? i.e. To lessen overflying aircraft, road noise or noisy neighbours, or is it from internally created sounds from a teenagers bedroom or home cinema for instance.
4. From what direction does the noise seem to be coming from? i.e. Through the windows, doors, ceiling, walls or flooring or a mix of all.

An experienced soundproofing firm in Redditch will look into all of these aspects to offer solutions to your noise issues over a range of budgets. Solutions might vary in line with the different materials required for each of the problem areas within your environment.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF WALLS, FLOORS and CEILINGS

There are 2 key areas that need to be addressed to soundproof any room or space:

1. Improve the absorption of sound.
2. Cut down on the effects on the way sound is transmitted through and reflected by hard surfaces.

A site survey will be necessary to look at the elements that need improving.

The experts will look at ways to add materials that have different masses and densities to increase the sound absorption of the area. The addition of acoustic foams and rubbers of varying density and mass will help to absorb sounds and reduce transmission and reflection sources.

Any voids in the room may require some form of deadening material to be installed between them to lessen sound resonation. Floor and ceiling voids and cavities in walls can all be assimilated with a drum, where the space inside acts like an amplification source for any undesired sounds.

Combined layers of materials with different masses and densities work better at absorbing sound than a single soundproofing material layer of one type. This is because the various frequencies are absorbed differently by different kinds of materials, therefore a diversity of densities, layers and shapes within your soundproofing armoury are required.

All soundproofing providers in Redditch must follow the regulations for residential buildings specified by Part E of the Building Regulations. This regulation has the aim of protecting neighbours and other residents in the immediate area from the impact of sound pollution.

Only those Redditch businesses that have been vetted and approved by these trade bodies for quality, reliability and professionalism are permitted to display the logo.
