Acoustic insulation is also known as sound insulation, noise insulation, soundproofing. Sound is defined as atmospheric or airborne vibrations perceptible to the ear. Noise is nothing but an unaccepted or undesirable sound. The sound which causes harm to others is called noise irrespective of its characteristics. A piece of music may be nice to listen during the day but maybe irritant during sleep at night. The purpose of acoustic insulation is to soundproof or decrease the intensity of sound transmitting from inside the house to outside and vice versa or to prevent sound transmission by the activity in the next room. How does acoustic insulation work?

You wouldn’t use plasterboard on the floor so we can’t compare these. Noise between the floors can be an issue though. If you want to complete the soundproofing job and prevent impact noise these clips are a great idea. This is particularly important if you live in a flat. This is definitely a room where you want to stop noise from coming in. There are a lot of different types of noise that could disturb the tranquility of your bedroom and also your sleep. Noisy neighbours, a busy road nearby, a local pub, or even an insomniac spouse who watches tv when they can’t sleep. A Garage Conversion Whichever option you choose, remember that soundproofing is all about filling the gaps. Once the walls are up for the best results you should use acoustic tape where the panels meet and acoustic sealant around the edges. You also need to remember floors transmit a lot on impact noise so if that’s what you’re hearing this will not help much. The Living Room Plasterboards are a great option if you’re low on space. They are thin but effective, can be used directly on walls and ceilings or be installed between stud frames, and can be directly plastered over. MuteBoard Soundproof Plasterboard is ultra-thin and great for small or awkward rooms. An acoustic sealant is an adhesive that is used between plasterboard and other insulation boards, particularly when working on acoustic insulation and soundproofing. An acoustic sealant is used to seal any gaps, preventing the transfer of noise between rooms, which can pass through even the smallest of gaps. When acoustic insulation boards are used with acoustic sealant, a complete barrier is created, and soundproofing will be much more efficient.

Age resistant and chemically neutral against the most commonly used lacquers and plastics. Neoprene / EPDM is resistant to most caustic chemicals, resistant against ozone, moisture and UV radiation. This is more of an additional item than an alternative. If you have standard plasterboard then sealing any gaps would definitely help but not as much as the other options listed. Use this and acoustic tape as your finishing touches in your soundproof project for the most effective results. Conclusion

You may also want to soundproof your living room not to keep sound… out but to keep it in! If you live in a flat or a bungalow or have a baby that’s a very light sleeper, then you could be considering soundproofing to keep talking/tv noise from carrying through. The Bedroom
