The most valuable and welcomed of all home improvements is trying to create a much quieter world around us. We all know that our modern world is both noisy and hectic, and it’s going to take a really longtime before we get any peace and quiet around here.

So, do stand in chaotic, gut-wrenching room causing you to go deaf? Or do can you do something about it?

There are many techniques one could use when it comes to soundproofing, whether it’s a single room or an entire house. Whatever will be appropriate will depend entirely on what part of the house you’re going to work on. And, let’s not forget the bank account.

For new construction, especially when it comes to noise proofing techniques, the most effective way is to stagger the location of doorways, that way they’re not directly opposite one another. Not only will this keep the sound from travelling directly across the halls, and wont reverberate around the house. It’s also a good idea for at least 1 quarter of the room to include an absorbent material, such as curtains, furniture, or even carpets. It’s even possible for you to install soundproofing panels on your walls and ceilings.

If the noise from squeaking floors from the upper floor becomes a problem, you can easily solve that by taking down the ceiling on the lower floor and place triangular wood stripes on the flooring above. Additionally, you can use liquid adhesive to keep the floor from moving around that cause all those annoying squeaks.

Another popular soundproofing technique is using two sets of disconnected wall studs that you can frame on the walls. Moreover, you can use fiberglass installation, which is a good sound absorber. When it comes to traditionally framed houses, the wall framing as well as the drywall which easily allows noise to transmit through to the other side can be quite annoying. This is because the wall studs transfer the noise that bounces of the drywalls from one room then moves through the stud and into the drywall of the other room. By simply inserting a fiberglass installation, the sounds will be dampened.

You can even use double paned glass or vinyl frames for your windows, which is another popular way to soundproof your house. These double paned windows will be more costly as compared to other soundproof installation, but they’re really worth it.

If you’re thinking about soundproofing your home, just follow these simple techniques and you’ll have a house that’s peaceful and quiet in no time!
