Soundproofing: 6 Tips for a Quiet House
Constant noise is the worst thing that can happen to us because it is proven to make us ill. For this reason, you must think about soundproofing when planning your house. Even if the house has already been built, there are still ways to make your own four walls a little more soundproof. Below you will find tips for a quieter house with the right soundproofing.
1. Subsequent sound insulation with acoustic absorbers
Soundproofing can be done in different ways. Ceilings, windows, doors and walls are all factors that reduce airborne sound. In this modern house, the room acoustics are improved with stylish acoustic absorbers. They are available in different colours and can therefore be adapted to the interior design at any time.
2. Acoustic images in organic design
This is also a stylish soundproofing option. An acoustic image can meet the highest demands, as the colour can be customized and the soundproofing is optimal. The material is allergy-friendly and can even be washed.
3. Ideally soundproof the attic
Elastic floor coverings such as PVC, cork or linoleum are also very good sound absorbers. The so-called impact sound is transmitted via the floor. Especially in rented apartments, we often hear how often tenants complain about trampling
that is too loud. Children playing or shoes with heels often lead to arguments. These impact sound noises can be significantly reduced with the floor coverings mentioned.
4. Doors for sound insulation
They are found in every living space: doors. They come in all possible designs and colours. They are also ideal for sound insulation. It is important to note that the heavier the door, the better the sound insulation works. Another requirement is that the door closes tightly to the floor.
5. Support sound insulation with high-pile carpets
A simple method for good sound insulation is a carpet. Floor coverings with a particularly large volume, such as the so-called high-pile carpets, are particularly effective. They absorb sound waves particularly well. As can be seen in this example, the bedroom was furnished with upholstered furniture such as the comfortable box spring bed. The carpet under the bed not only looks stylish but is also an effective sound absorber.
Another advantage of these excellent soundproofing products is their design. They are available in a wide range of colours and can be adapted to any combination.
6. Proper sound insulation with solid walls
Thick, solid walls also offer very good sound insulation. Whether made of concrete, solid bricks or sand-lime brick, these walls are characterized by particularly high insulation values. If you choose a solid wall with a thickness of 17.5 centimetres, for example, you will benefit from a sound insulation level of 50 to 58 dB.
There are now numerous ways to combine walls. You can choose the soundproof wall of your dreams with a stone look, smooth or with decorations.
