Finding it hard to enjoy the sanctuary of your home due to unwanted noise? Do you want to say goodbye to all the unwanted noise in your home? Well, below is how you can do just that.
Living in a neighbourhood that’s noisy or driving down a noisy road can be really stressful. In fact, it is not only stressful but also very hard to relax and focus if you are in such an environment. With so much at stake, many are always looking for ways to say goodbye to all these unwanted noises. So how can one do just that? Well, through home and car sound proofing. Do note however that for you to completely say goodbye to all the noise you need superb soundproofing. Not to worry though as in this home and car sound proofing post, we’ll show you how you can make soundproofing work best for you by combining several soundproofing techniques.
First Step
If you are soundproofing your home, the first step you want to take is taping window or door gaps. You can do this by simply using insulating tape. What this does is basically cover the gaps in your windows or doors. Uncovered gaps (even the smallest ones) allow noise to pass through. In addition to soundproofing air conditioner noise benefits, using insulating tapes on gaps helps keep your house draft-free. This ultimately results in reduced energy bills.
Second Step
With window and door gaps filled, focus on door and window hangings. In particular, go for thick window curtains and thick door hangings. Doing this adds an extra noise insulation layer thus helping keep unwanted noise out. Consider adding a double layer of blinds or curtains. This, as you can tell, goes to add additional noise insulation.
Third Step
If you are after an option sure to have a great impact then this third step is sure to do the trick. So what does this step involve? Well, replacing your windows with double or triple-pane windows. With this step, it is best to seek the assistance of a professional like The Silencer. They’ll be able to advise you the distance between windows as well as thickness. Do keep in mind that glass thickness ultimately affects soundproofing levels.
If you are looking to bloc air condition noise consider going for an air conditioner sound dampener recommended by a pro. This includes the use of acoustic blankets and mats.
Fourth Step
If your home is next to a noisy road you’ll need to be creative outside to help with noise reduction. For starters, consider planting trees. These trees are sure to act as barriers between your home and the noisy road. This, of course, is something you should do together with other soundproofing techniques including the ones already mentioned in this post.
In addition to making your plantation, do consider putting up a bamboo fence. This is especially ideal if you are working with a small space. This fence helps in bouncing the noise back to the road thus giving you a much quieter home.
There you have, details on how you can say goodbye to unwanted noise with soundproofing. With car sound proofing, it is best to let a professional handle it. Why? Well, there are several steps involved. This includes replacing a car’s door panels, insert sound-deadening tape, stick sound dampening tape on doors and so on.
