6 Practical Reasons to Soundproof Your Home

You may be one of many homeowners who’ve had the misfortune of dealing with unwanted noise. Some examples being unruly and disruptive neighbours, road traffic noise, construction work or air travel close to your home.

If that’s the case, you will undoubtedly appreciate the importance of soundproofing your home for a quieter life.

So what are the main reasons why you should soundproof a room in your home, or perhaps the entire building? Below we discuss 6 practical reasons why:

1. Improved Health

Noise pollution can lead to a series of health problems.

The first thing that comes to mind is that you will end up suffering from auditory problems if the noise you continually experience is loud and over several hours a day.

Tinnitus is a common problem that is also experienced by people who suffer from excess noise in their homes.

However, prolonged exposure to noise can also lead to cardiovascular problems. This includes an increase in the probability of developing high blood pressure, which can result in ulterior problems such as stroke and heart disease.

Soundproofing can help to avoid such health conditions, some of which could end up becoming life-threatening.

It is important to ensure that you opt for a soundproofing option that will properly address the type of noise you are experiencing.

The main source of the noise and its location will need to be ascertained, to ensure you proceed with sound proofing materials and installation methods that will be sufficiently effective.

For high frequency and loud noises however, it is best to speak to a professional acoustic consultant for advice.

2. Sleep

We’ve all had some sleepless nights sometime or other in our lives.

Several day-to-day factors can influence disruptions to sleep such as feeling unwell, children or babies crying for feeding time, or perhaps you were going through a stressful time in your life. The possibilities are countless.

Most people have experienced that horrible feeling the next morning when you had a disrupted night and failed to get a good night’s sleep.

Your eyes are heavy, you have a headache, and you keep yawning and failing to focus or concentrate on anything throughout the rest of the day.

Now, just imagine having to deal with this exasperating experience every night, and each day waking up feeling the exact same way.

People living in houses where they are expected to tolerate annoying sounds or noises during the night lead very difficult lives. They suffer during the night, and subsequently experience difficulties all day the next day.

Soundproofing is practically a must for such households as it is unhealthy and traumatic to lead such a life on a daily basis.

Proper sleep is imperative for everyone, from kids to adults. You need to ensure that nothing gets in the way of allowing you and your family to sleep for a certain amount of hours every night.

Thanks to soundproofing, you will be able to reduce noise levels to the bare minimum and be able to sleep soundly and without disruptions or audible discomfort.

3. Wellbeing at Home

We have discussed the importance of soundproofing for better health and improved sleep. All of these considerations allow for your wellbeing and comfort at home.

This is something that you and your family are entitled to, as your home is after all the place where you rest and spend time together.

It should not be a place where you dread to spend time simply because you have to overhear disruptive noises from your surroundings.

With soundproofing, you can reduce the humming of your neighbour’s appliances, their footsteps or echoing voices, the buzzing sounds of the traffic outside, or the banging and crashing of city streets.

Moreover, soundproofing can help you control sounds within your home.

If for example, you would like to watch some TV late at night, soundproofing material in your rooms can reduce the sound of the TV from being heard in your kids’ bedroom.

So it is a win-win situation in both an interior and exterior context.

4. Privacy

We are all rather noisy in our homes. With kids shouting as they play and chase each other, appliances working in the background, the TV set switched on, telephone conversations, and arguments every now and then – you name it!

Whatever takes place in your home is private, and you should not worry that you are being overheard by your neighbours.

With soundproofing, you can solve this once and for all. In fact, soundproofing is a great way to improve and increase privacy in your home.

5. Regulations

Nowadays, there are laws and regulations in place that aim to reduce the negative repercussions that arise from excessive noise pollution.

These vary from country to country, but one thing is for sure – it is important to be aware of these laws as you do not want to infringe them or suffer any negative consequences.

Soundproofing your house can put you in a good position to abide by such legislation.

6. Construction Considerations

Nowadays, the majority of new homes are built in a way that ensures that they’re soundproofed.

Apart from helping to meet certain rules and regulations, having a property that is soundproofed will also increase the value and comfort of the home.

Many home buyers consider soundproofing as a form of investment, as well as a good way to ensure that their house is indeed a place where they can live comfortably and safely.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are numerous benefits attributed to soundproofing your home.

The reasons why you may decide to soundproof your home will vary from another homeowner’s, but at the end of the day, the advantages always outweigh the costs involved.
