When trying to choose the best sound
absorbing material, you need to select the material according to the
type of sound absorption you need.
There are many materials to choose from, each with specific uses,
including spray insulation and acoustic panels. In most cases,
the type of sound absorbing material you need is different to keep noise
in or out of the room or area. The first step is to determine the type
of sound you want to control,
and then you can choose from a range of materials that best suit your
needs.
One of the most common types of sound absorbing materials is spray-on
foam and fiber blends. Expanded foams mixed with cotton and synthetic
fibers are commonly
used to prevent sound transfer from the furnace and mechanical areas to
office or residential areas. This option may also provide beneficial and
safe side effects
if you are trying to reduce the noise entering the house from the
garage: this type of sound absorbing material is usually fire resistant.
This material is also one of
the best choices for covering cement or block walls because it adheres
very well to hard surfaces without peeling off.
If installed in an unconventional manner, ordinary building materials
can easily improve the sound insulation level. Special clips, such as
those used to hang
gypsum drywall panels, can convert these common building materials into
enough sound absorbing materials. If you want to reduce the noise from
the laundry,
this may be your best choice. However, if you are trying to soundproof a
music room or a home cinema, your best bet is usually a thick
foam-filled
wallboard that is covered with geometric shapes designed to reflect and
absorb sound.
If your goal is to isolate your home from the sound of roads on busy
streets, sound-absorbing curtains and curtain-like sound-absorbing
materials may be your best choice.
A special rubber mat can be used as a sound absorbing material to
eliminate the noise transmitted between the floors. You can also lay
carpets upstairs in your home.
Other sound absorbing materials, such as special windows, foam-filled
cement blocks and simple fiberglass insulation, may be the best choice
for your specific application.
