The sound insulation effect of some buildings is average. In this case, many movements downstairs can be heard upstairs, which affects life somewhat. And if the sound insulation is not good, the outdoor environment will interfere with indoor life.
Thick carpets can be laid on the floor to achieve sound absorption. If you only want to use a small piece of thin carpet, it will only have a decorative effect and will not have a substantial sound-absorbing effect.
Install soundproof ceiling on room floor
In addition to external noise, some sounds from the residents upstairs will also cause trouble for our families. Therefore, we can install a soundproof ceiling on the floor of the room. Generally, the soundproof ceiling on the floor is made of about five centimeters of plastic. It is made of foam and can be directly glued to the ceiling of our room. Some irregular holes can also be drilled on the plastic foam board on the ceiling. We all know that this can have a certain sound-absorbing effect.
Install soundproofing plywood on room walls
We can put one to two centimeters of the wooden keel on the wall, then lay asbestos inside the wooden keel, lay gypsum board on the outside of the wooden keel, and then put putty and paint on the gypsum board. It can also have a good sound insulation effect.
When replacing soundproof windows, the preferred material for soundproof windows is laminated glass. How many layers to use depends on your own budget. Vacuum glass is the best, but you can’t buy it. Because the sealing of vacuum glass is a big problem. Whether it is vacuum sealing or using inert gas, the cost is too high. Most of the glass we can buy is insulating glass, not vacuum glass.
The insulating glass process is actually very simple. Just put some desiccant in the compartment to prevent fogging and that's it. Insulating glass is suitable for unobstructed mid- to low-rise floors, and can effectively isolate high-frequency noises such as barking dogs, square dances, and loudspeakers. The noise reduction is between 25 and 35 decibels, and the sound insulation effect is actually very average.
Soundproof windows
PVB laminated glass is much better. The colloid in laminated glass can effectively reduce noise and vibration, and can effectively filter low-frequency noise. It is suitable for unobstructed mid-to-high floors near roads, airports train stations, etc. Among them, those filled with sound insulation and damping glue can reduce noise by up to 50 decibels, but be careful when buying intermediate tank glue and use DEV film instead of PVB. The effect will be greatly reduced and it will turn yellow after a few years.
In addition, the window frame made of plastic steel window is more soundproof than aluminum alloy glass, which can reduce the noise by 5 to 15 decibels. The window opening method should choose the casement window with the best sealing to achieve the best sound insulation effect.
Choose wooden furniture
Among furniture, wooden furniture has the best sound absorption effect. Its fiber porosity allows it to absorb noise and reduce noise pollution.
Rough textured wall
Compared with smooth wallpaper or smooth walls, rough textured walls can continuously weaken the sound during the propagation process, thereby achieving a mute effect.
If poor sound insulation in our home affects our lives, we can install sound insulation materials in different locations in the home, so that the home will become much quieter and the quality of sleep will be higher. When doing interior decoration, we should not forget the key point of sound insulation when choosing materials, especially indoor doors, which must have good sound insulation effects. Choose interior materials with good sound insulation properties to make your home more comfortable.
