People who proactively soundproof their homes are truly amazing neighbors!

It was noisy at home, so I took the initiative to install soundproofing.

You might think that such a wonderful neighbor is impossible.

However, recently I've received many similar inquiries from people.

We've received several clients who want to build soundproof rooms.

Almost all of them are noise sources.

The following is a consulting case:

A few days ago, I received an inquiry from a netizen.

She said her downstairs neighbors complained that her apartment was too noisy.

(There are children at home, and the neighbors are working from home)

This is a very typical case of "ethical noise incident".

Usually, the people who come to me for advice are the ones downstairs who are bothered by the noise.

From their perspective

They felt that they couldn't be disturbed at any time.

Therefore, our general advice is to do

Ceiling sound insulation and vibration reduction measures / soundproof room

To ensure his own need for quiet

But most of the time, most people are unwilling to do it.

Firstly, because renovations are costly.

Secondly, there's the fear of unclear results.

But this time is different.

The person who consulted me was upstairs.

She wanted to consult about how to implement active floor sound insulation measures.

Such cases are very rare.

The reason is quite simple.

She dislikes getting into arguments with people.

The upstairs in this case

I've already taken good care of laying down soft mats on the floors at home.

Later I also learned that her pad was 2cm thick.

Because it wasn't very effective, the downstairs neighbors still frequently knocked on the door.

Because everyone in my family has a sensitive nose.

Reasons related to dust and difficulty in cleaning

They chose to abandon this measure.

I've seen many cases.

The upstairs neighbors are noisy, and the downstairs neighbors find it annoying and try to communicate with them.

But at this time, the upstairs neighbors were asking the downstairs neighbors to do soundproofing.

They might just bluntly tell you, "If you're so capable, go live in a villa."

The upstairs neighbor who thought of proactively soundproofing the floor

It's truly rare to find just one bamboo shoot in ten acres of bamboo grove.

The floor slab has poor sound insulation and cannot meet our normal need for quiet.

As mentioned in the case above, the property management company admitted that their building's floor slabs were thin, which led to numerous neighborhood disputes. Handing the problem over to the property management, police, or courts is futile; similar cases are not uncommon in life. In such situations, if the upstairs neighbor proactively installs soundproofing on the floor, it demonstrates their consideration for others and reflects a high level of civility.

For families with children who are difficult to manage, this approach is worth considering. It allows children to maintain their freedom while also fostering harmonious neighborly relations.

Are soundproof rooms effective?

Why do many people feel that soundproof rooms are ineffective?

(It's not that it had no effect, but rather that the effect did not meet your expectations.)

What you think home soundproofing renovation entails: investment = money + time + energy, and what you think you'll gain = complete soundproofing, achieving the quiet effect you expect.

However, the effectiveness of soundproofing renovations is actually limited by the condition of the base walls, the size of the external noise source, and the specific soundproofing methods used. The amount of sound insulation that a soundproofing renovation can achieve is fixed.

• Standard soundproofing methods for walls

① Aerated concrete block wall + porous brick wall: wall + sound insulation felt + light steel keel + sound insulation cotton filled inside the keel + gypsum board

Note: The above data were measured in the laboratory and there may be discrepancies in actual measurements.

People's subjective perception of sound also affects their evaluation of the effect; people who are sensitive to sound will deliberately listen to noise. Therefore, when doing soundproofing renovations, it is important to understand that soundproofing is not about eliminating sound; it is merely an auxiliary means of reducing noise.

In conclusion, soundproofing is essential for a relatively quiet bedroom. At the same time, adjusting your mindset and avoiding noise sensitivity are also important methods for managing noise pollution.

People who can proactively do home soundproofing

It really deserves a thumbs up.

You should also silently label him as a "good person" in your mind.
