Being in a room and getting
distracted and disturbed by the noise from other rooms or outside noises is
always annoying, and the transfer of sound from one room to other always has an
effect on the privacy of the people inside it. Having good room acoustics is
very important for every room, whether it’s an office, a home, or a commercial
building. Recently, since we are adopting a work-from-home, study-from-home,
and entertain-yourself-from-home culture, having a simple video conferencing
call can seem chaotic. For one, we don’t know much about many soundproof
materials. Here are some simple and cheap ways to improve your room's
acoustics, but if you are seriously planning to improve the room's acoustics to
a professional level, it’s better to consult an acoustic consultant with proven
experience to suggest the best solutions for your room type and noise level.
Soundproofing is an
issue that affects all home types, whether you are living in an apartment, a
villa, or any other. You
can be trying to deal with internal noise, such as noisy neighbors or noisy
kids, or outdoor noise, such as traffic and nearby companies.
Three critical points
that make a room feel noisy
1.
Source of the sound
2.
Entry point
3.
Reflection point
The source of sound
Knowing
exactly where it's coming from will help you address it, weaken it, or silence
it.
Entry point
The entry
point is the place in your room where sound first enters. Also, this could be a
precise location close to the sound source or the complete existing wall, as in
the case of shared walls in apartments, condos, or duplexes.
Reflection point
If the angle of entry is a
straight line, it is likely that the sound will continue to reverberate between
the headboard and footboard until it dissipates.
