Soundproofing – what you must know about it

For pretty much any individual, excessive sound is an intense annoyance. That is why many individuals prefer using a soundproof room especially when there is a noisy neighborhood. Even inside your own house, there can be a considerable amount of noise due to the usage of machines, tools, entertainment gear and activities of the residents. So, living in a soundproof room is the only solution to avoid all those annoyances.

There can be many echoes and reverberations within any household and it will end up making unpleasant living conditions. A soundproof room can be the most practical way to address this issue.

 

How to soundproofing a room?

It may be possible for you to soundproof your room as a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) task. But honestly the best approach is to hire a professional to get it done. If not, you will have to tolerate considerable amount of money. That is because handling soundproofing material, using machinery and completing a precise job without damaging the existing interior can only be done by a professional.

To do soundproofing it will involve blocking or reducing the noise from outside entering the room. The solution may involve soundproof ceiling, soundproof window, soundproof panels and even soundproof partition wall that are made from soundproof materials. Sound blocking materials are used to prevent noise from transmitting from one side of the wall to the other. The same theory applies to ceilings, doors, windows, and even floors. Such materials are usually heavy, thick and have more mass. Also, some of those materials are flexible. One of the best examples of a sound blocker is 12” thick brick wall. However, brick walls are not that common. So, we should look for other alternatives and block sound. This is when options like extra-thick drywall, acoustic green glue and MLV (Mass-loaded vinyl) come to play. An experienced contractor will provide more options for soundproofing after identifying your exact requirements and the existing infrastructure.

Another aspect of soundproofing is to absorb the unwanted sound or noise bouncing inside the room. This is to cut off the noise from bouncing off from the walls or furniture in the room. To achieve good soundproofing, you should consider avoiding hard materials and replace them with sound-absorbing materials. You can consider acoustic foam as one of the most popular options for this. It can improve the overall sound-quality inside a room. They have porous characteristics and soft to the touch. Also, they are significantly lightweight. They easily absorb sound and prevent noise from bouncing back. Do you want to build a home theater and keep those bouncing sounds away? If yes, acoustic foam is a prominent option. You can use them for purposes like music rooms, podcasting room and meeting room.
