Sound proof house
🏡 Have you ever... lived in your own house, but you can hear the sound of cars running, the sound of talking in front of the house, the sound of dragging a chair from the upper floor, or even the sound of a TV from the house next to it, and it feels like the house is not very calm? This can actually happen to almost any kind of house, whether it's a single house, a townhome, a tenement building, or a condo, because "sound can travel through the air and the building" if the construction or design doesn't take much into account soundproofing.
Generally speaking, the noise in the house usually comes from three places.
10 Sounds from outside the house, such as the sound of a car on the street, the sound of activity in an alley, or sounds from a public area near the house.
10 Sounds from inside the house itself, such as the sound of walking on the upstairs floor, the sound of dragging furniture, the sound of electrical appliances.
10 Sounds from neighbors sharing walls, which are more common in townhomes, townhouses, tenements or condos.
For "sound from the outside of the house," it can start with a simple way like planting a leaf tree along the front fence to help filter the sound, including checking the joints of the doors and windows to close them. In addition, if you want to increase efficiency, you may improve the walls to be soundproof, such as adding one layer of masonry, or making light walls with sound insulation inside.
The "sound that occurs inside the house" is often caused by structural gaps, such as wall channels above the ceiling that open to each other. If these channels are closed to the belly of the beam, it will reduce the sifting of sound more. Another way is to overlay the original wall, or where the house has a wooden floor upstairs, installing gypsum plates or fiber cement under the floor will reduce the sound of walking or banging between floors.
While "the sound of a neighbor sharing a wall" often slides through the wall and the hole above the frosted, the solution is similar to that of a house: to close the wall above the ceiling to the beam belly, and to add another layer of soundproofing wall inside, including small details, such as avoiding installing a power plug to the plug of the house next to it, because the plug can also become a way through the sound.
Although noise is difficult to avoid, understanding "where the noise comes in and where it fixes" can make the house a quiet, comfortable rest area.
