 SOUND
PROOFIN
Sound Proofing is a good need in
G
areas involving the need of a noise
sensitive environment for reducing
sound from other than the
concealed environment.

If you are looking for maximum sound

isolation you really need to consider a multi-
faceted approach to soundproofing.

Sound Proof
Partition use
Sound proof partitions are usually used in
schools, offices, hotels, universities,
leisure centers, churches, etc., which
provide a wide range of possibilities for
more efficient use of available space.

 Types Of Sound Proof
Partitions on basis of
thickness
Sound proof room partitions are available in three basic system
types – 65, 80 and 100 soundproof wall divider. The sound proof
partition material for the 3 types is similar and the main difference
is thickness.
The choice on the three will depend on the noise reduction
requirements, the available structural support, the stacking layout
and the need for access doors. The surface treatment can be plain
color, wood grain, fabrics, polished wood veneer and wall papers. We
can also provide vision panels, glass and access doors.

 Material of sound proof
partition
A soundproof partition is a
portable, sound-absorbing wall,
usually made from fabrics
like cotton or polyester.
When sound-absorbing materials like
polyester soak up noise, the sound waves
turn into small amounts of heat energy
instead of bouncing back into the room.
They reduce the impact of sound and
make it much less noticeable.

When a person or object
makes a noise, it generates
vibrational energy. These
vibrations are then picked up
by a medium like air before
they collide with another
solid object or structure like
a wall, ceiling, window, etc.
The sound then vibrates the
object or structure and
sound is able to be heard in Examples of airborne-noise
the adjoining space. include: People speaking, the
TV, and music playing.

 Structure-borne or impact
noise occurs when an
object collides with
another object; footfalls
on the floor above you or a
ball bouncing against a
wall.
When an object impacts
the surface, it creates
vibrational energy that
travels through the
structure and into the
adjoining spaces.

 Methods of Soundproofing

Your choice of materials will depend on your specific use case. For
instance, soundproofing a room for drums will use sound absorbing
techniques to acoustically enhance the room. Where-as a bedroom
 might seal gaps and block airways to prevent airborne noise
transmission.
There are four main ways to soundproof a space: Adding mass,
damping, decoupling, and absorption.

 Mass or Density

• The easiest way to soundproof a space or structure is to add

mass or density to it. The more dense something is, the harder
it is for soundwaves to penetrate it.
• By employing various widths and densities you can effectively
reduce sounds in a variable frequency range. Keep in mind
though that no matter how heavy something is, it still has the
potential to vibrate, just not as easily.

 Damping

Damping is essentially the reduction of

resonance in a room through reflection
and diffusion. In laymen terms , it means
to dissipate sound waves and vibrations
before they have chance to build up and
radiate sound.

(SOURCE:https://www.snoringsource.com/types-of-
 Decoupling
It's important to remember that soundwaves are
nothing more than vibrational energy. This means
that sound will conduct as long as there is a direct
pathway for it to follow.
You can think of this concept like a tin-can telephone;
As you speak into one end of the can, the vibrations
conduct through the string and are audible on the
other end. If you were to cut the string, or decouple
the path, the sound can no longer be conducted.

(SOURCE:https://www.snoringsource.com/types-of-
 Absorption
Air cavities resonate sound. You can think
of this concept like hearing the ocean in a
seashell or blowing air across the top of a
bottle. Soundwaves are produced as a
result of trapped air resonating in the
object.
This is the same concept as air resonating
in a wall. As the wall is vibrated, the air in
the wall also vibrates . Fibreglass may
absorb some of these noises.

 Soundproof Floor
Underlayment
If you want to ensure that the noise from your floors doesn’t
travel into the space below you – or you want to block unwanted
noises from traveling through the ceiling from the floor above
you – soundproof floor under-layment is a great solution.
This soundproofing medium helps to prevent the transmission
of both airborne sound and impact noise, as it blocks vibrations,
thereby preventing sound waves from traveling through both
the air and the floor.

(SOURCE:https://www.snoringsource.com/types-of-
 Sound Deadening and Dampening Materials

Sound deadening and dampening materials

are designed to minimize vibrations, which
therefore helps to prevent the transfer of
sound. These materials are ideal for use in
areas that are prone to drastic
temperatures or in locations that have
limited or awkward space.

(SOURCE:https://www.snoringsource.com/types-of-
Soundproofing Insulation

There are also soundproofing insulation products available that can be

installed between walls, in ceilings, and underneath floors. This
soundproofing material is comprised of thick, durable materials that are
designed to absorb sound waves and prevent the transfer of vibrations.
In addition to eliminating both structural and airborne noise, soundproofing
insulation also helps to prevent heat transfer, which means that the space
will stay warmer or cooler (as the case may be), and can ultimately help you
save money on utility bills; That’s a win-win-win situation.

(SOURCE:https://www.snoringsource.com/types-of-
 Soundproofing Barriers

These materials are designed to block out the transfer of both

structural and airborne noise, as they minimize vibrations and
reduce echoes, thus preventing the transfer of obtrusive sounds
from traveling into your space.
Soundproofing barriers are constructed out of a variety of
materials; Options include fiberglass composite, foam composite,
and mass load vinyl. They can also be permanent or temporary.

 Soundproofing Curtains and
Drapes

Windows are often a source for unwanted noise transfer. Typically,

airborne sound is the most common type of noise that travels through
windows; However, impact noise can also travel through them. If you’re
looking for a way to reduce the amount of sound that travels through the
windows in your home or business, you could replace them with
"soundproofing windows" or double/triple-pane windows. The issue with
retrofitting "soundproof" windows is that it's expensive.

 Acoustic Panels

If you are looking to prevent noise from traveling out of

your space and into another one, acoustic panels are a great
option to consider. These panels absorb sound, thereby
reducing echoes and reducing feedback.
Acoustic panels are comprised of compressed foam or wool,
which allows the material to absorb sound waves and
minimize reverberation in walls that are located in enclosed
spaces. These panels help to “clean” unwanted noise from an
area.

Sound Proof
Doors
Sliding Solid Wooden Barn
Door

This soundproof door gives your home a

rustic look and provides better
soundproofing capabilities than a hollow
core barn door.  Some people don’t like
these doors because the sliding makes a
noise that can be disruptive to others.

 Solid Core Textured Six-Panel Door

These are more effective at soundproofing

than their hollow-core counterparts.  Their
STC ratings are between 27 and 30. 
This type of door, sometimes also called an
accordion soundproof interior door, slides
on a track mounted above the door frame. 
It’s thicker and provides a better sound
barrier than doors that are secured within
their frames.

Solid Composite Interior
Door

Solid composite interior door: Wood

composite is a slurry of wood fiber and
polyurethane resins that can closely
mimic the look of real wood and which
provides excellent insulation against
both sound. Door Replacement as a
Means of Soundproofing.

 Sliding Glass Door

You can mount soundproof glass doors inside or outside of your

existing sliding glass doors.  Besides blocking noise, these doors
are well-sealed, keeping drafts out in the winter while retaining
cool air in the summer to make your home more comfortable and
energy-efficient.  Most sliding doors come with tempered glass, so
they can break easily if an intruder wants to quickly gain access to
your home.  Sliding doors made with laminated glass provide
additional security because they’re a lot harder to break.

 STC Ratings for Door and Wall Materials

When walls are thin, sound pours through them.  Anything that interrupts the wall’s continuity, such as a door,
allows even more sound to be transmitted. let’s consider the ratings of common wall and door materials.
• An interior hollow core door has an STC rating of 20 to 25.
• A solid door with particle-board core rates at 30.
• If a standard interior wall has 1/2 inch drywall on both sides and 3.5 inches of airspace, its STC designation
is 33.
• When a standard interior wall has 1/2 inch drywall and the 3.5-inch space in the middle is filled with
insulation, its rating goes up to 39.
• When you have a double layer of 1/2-inch drywall, which adds up to four layers in total, and 3.5 inches
between them are filled with insulation, it has an STC rating of 45.
• A solid core door rates between 55-60.
