In recent years, the sound insulation problem of neighbors and neighbors has attracted attention, and home sound insulation is one of the most likely causes of neighbor disputes, and has become a key project in home decoration. Designer Searchome introduced the way to solve noise in decoration, as long as the two aspects of "sound insulation" and "sound absorption", choose suitable home building materials, can effectively reduce the impact of sound on the environment, whether children running and jumping at home, listening to music, practicing musical instruments do not have to be afraid, to create a high-quality living environment.
Common noises in homes are divided into about four types, the most common is floor impact sound, including footsteps, moving furniture, falling objects, and low-frequency noise resonance effects. The second is the vibration sound of the machine, such as the sound of washing machines, dryers, pumping motors, air conditioning equipment and other home appliances. The third is artificially made sound, including talking, quarrelling, playing musical instruments, singing, etc. The fourth type is ambient sounds, such as outdoor car sounds, construction, etc.
Generally speaking, floor thickness, cubicle wall material and thickness, light compartments, door cracks leakage, building distance problems, pipelines, windows, neighbors' living habits may cause sound insulation problems. When decorating your home, there are two ways to improve noise problems: "sound insulation" and "sound absorption".
What is sound insulation and sound absorption? Different noises have different ways of responding
If it is a resonance caused by two spaces, such as floor impact sound, machine vibration sound, outdoor environmental sound, it is recommended to use sound insulation method, that is, the use of sound insulation structure and materials to block the sound source of the two spaces, such as the common sound insulation wall, sound insulation floor, sound insulation ceiling, etc., such as raised floor, and put sound insulation cotton, sound insulation blanket, styrofoam ball and other methods in the inner layer to block the sound.
As for the sound generated in a single space, if it is artificial, it is recommended to adopt the method of sound insulation and sound absorption, in addition to the soundproof wall/floor/ceiling, additional sound-absorbing materials such as curtains, carpets, special coatings, soundproof cotton, sound-insulating panels, etc. can be installed to enhance the sound absorption effect.
Using soundproof building materials and furniture can do more with less! Wood and fabric can effectively absorb sound
Designers also suggest that in addition to sound insulation and decoration methods, it is also recommended to use building materials with noise reduction effects, such as reinforced concrete walls, wood materials, gypsum, iron plates and so on.
In addition, if there is no plan to renovate for the time being, the designer also recommends three simple ways to improve sound insulation, the first is to replace the door piece in the home with a solid door, and install a door seam; If the budget is insufficient, consider attaching sound-absorbing panels instead of replacing the door panels. Second, airtight windows, or higher specification soundproof windows, can be installed, which can effectively block the noise outside the window. Third, choose furniture with good sound absorption, such as wooden furniture, fabric curtains such as snakes, and fabric carpets, which can reduce noise and sound.
Modern people value privacy and quiet environment, designers said that it is important to do a good job of sound insulation equipment, but it must also consider ordinary living habits, house age and structure, whether the outdoor environment is noisy and other factors; It is recommended that before the soundproof decoration, it is necessary to discuss with the designer to create a comfortable and high-quality home environment and reduce neighborhood conflicts.
