How to reduce sound between floors
Before you can learn how to reduce sound between floors, it is important that the different types of noise are understood. When you’re living in an apartment, noise travelling between floors from above and below is a common problem - and this noise comes as a result of two different types of sound; airborne and impact.
Airborne noise travels through a structure and through the air to neighbouring rooms and neighbouring properties. This comes in various forms, from various sources. These include televisions, stereos and general speaking. Impact noise is generated when something comes into contact with the structure. This comes in the form of footsteps, vibrations from kitchen appliances and the sound of dropping something.
Flanking transmission is another cause of noise intrusion, and is a result of noise travelling from one space to another through the impact of adjoining parts of that specific structure.
Sound control is a popular method when it comes to understanding how to reduce sound between floors. Sound control experts Hush Acoustics know this, and their extensive and popular methods are as follows; acoustic flooring panels, composite battens, ceiling and wall bars, as well as joist infills.
Acoustic flooring panels are often used as structural or overlay boards. This technique is highly efficient because it works to provide sound insulation by implementing a sound controlling layer to maximise noise reduction. Composite battens make for another efficient method of sound reduction, as they work best to provide support to floating floors - and reduce impact sound from intruding.
Ceiling and wall bars work to offer customers a secondary wall or ceiling. These bars work simply and effectively - by literally decoupling the structure. This allows the Hush Slab 100 to reduce and absorb any sound that might otherwise escape the room. This method works to successfully separate the ceiling and wall.
Joint infills are used alongside floor panels, battens, bars and often when there is a special need for additional sound control. This is a highly proficient method for increased insulation, which lessens sound leakage between walls and can be fitted nicely inbetween floor joists.
Hush Acoustics can help show you how to reduce sound between floors - by soundproofing the floor and protecting your home and your neighbour’s homes from the noise intrusion which can make living in an apartment so difficult.
