How to make soundproofing in a room, a living room

Nowadays, in modern conditions of life, the quality of soundproofing of the walls of an apartment building or, especially, in an apartment is of paramount importance in a city. Noise is the main cause of irritability and fatigue in humans. With a good soundproofing of walls you will get rid of noisy neighbors and importunate sounds of the street.

Beginning soundproofing works

First of all, you need to start by studying the disadvantages of insulated walls. This may be a crack or a crack in the wall, formed as a result of shrinkage of the house.

Such shortcomings must be carefully filled with soundproofing material( for example, foam rubber, fiberglass, etc.), and then plastered with gypsum solution.

It is also necessary to isolate the electrical outlets, which are most often through holes in the wall.

Due to sound insulation, the walls will slightly increase the thickness, and, consequently, the area of ​​the room will decrease. But these shortcomings are more than offset by pacification, which will bring noise isolation.

Most often, when thickening walls are used foam-lined wooden frames. Between the frame and the wall is laid material that helps reduce the conductivity of sound( most often fiberglass and foam rubber) and diligently attached to the wall, so that later the material is not deformed and slipped.

Approximate thickness of soundproof materials should be about 9 centimeters.

If a soundproofing board is used, it must be mounted with screws over the wall. Then the surface should be gypsum plastered( you can also use glue).To increase the sound insulation of walls, sometimes use a steel profile - it will give additional reflective properties to the wall. It must be installed between the wall and the insulation material. This option will ensure the best level of sound insulation.

Remember that self-repair apartment - a fairly complex and very responsible process. With strict adherence to the instructions described above, you will get a very good result at the output.

Also it is worth remembering that soundproofing of walls in an apartment room or any living quarters is only a part of soundproofing. To ensure maximum sound insulation, it is also necessary to pay attention to the level of insulation of the floor, ceiling and windows.
