We are all used to living surrounded by
noise; still, this doesn't mean that it is not disturbing or that we would miss
it if it wasn’t there. Unfortunately, we can’t get rid of noise. There is
always an argument between the neighbors, someone who plays the piano (or the
drums), someone who listens to music, or simply the traffic from outside your
window. All this noise is annoying and does not leave us alone.
For this reason, we will mention some ways
of soundproofing your house in order you don't have to suffer any more.
For starters, you should bear in mind that
furniture and objects absorb noise, so an empty room will mean a louder
environment. So, it is recommended you you have some furniture or things that
would absorb some of the noise. Moreover, if you put carpets on your floor, you
will be having the perfect material for noise absorption.
If these things do not work, nowadays you
will find many methods in order to make your house sound-free. In the first
place, if you have many windows, you should probably have them with
double-glazing which will avoid the excessive noise to enter the room (or at
least it will make it softer).
Moreover, some of the soundproofing
materials that are used nowadays are fiberglass, cork, soundproof foam, polyurethane
foam, wood shaving panels, plasterboards, among others. All these materials can
be used in roofs and walls, and most of them are generally installed in the
middle of the wall. This way they work as insulators of sound and heat and they
don’t break your house’s beauty. If you want to make your already-built house
soundproof and you don’t want to break any walls, you may put one of the
aforementioned materials over the wall and then add plasterboards in order to
cover the other material. These plasterboards are not too difficult to install.
Moreover, if you are about to build you new
house and you want it to be soundproof, you may look for insulated panels that
are sold everywhere and they serve directly as walls (instead of using wood,
bricks, or the usual materials).
So, every day there are more materials that
are good for soundproofing your house, and many of them are eco-friendly as
well, so you can make your house sound-free and at the same time, take care of
the environment.
