A 'scream' is always just that - a noise and not music.
Carl Jung
Welcome back, fellow sound enthusiasts! At DECIBEL, we're all about embracing the symphony of life while curating tranquil environments that soothe the soul. In this edition of our noise chronicles, we're diving into the art of creating peaceful pockets full of calmness within our homes. Join us as we explore selected techniques for noise reduction.
Use Acoustic Panels
Acoustic panels are an affordable, easy-to-install, and effective way to upgrade the in your home. These panels are made from materials that absorb sound waves, such as wood, textile, and foam, and can be installed on walls or ceilings to help reduce noise transmission. They are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can even be customised to match your decor.
Divide and Conquer with Acoustic Separators
Designed to effectively absorb and dampen sound waves, the acoustic separators act as stylish and montage-free companions to any room. Whether creating private workspaces or maintaining a serene atmosphere in shared areas, the acoustic separators demonstrate how smart design can contribute to a quieter and more harmonious environment. We would advise you to choose a separator crafted from environmentally friendly materials.
Stop the Noise for Good with Soundproofing Panels
If you are serious about reducing noise in your home, you may want to consider fully soundproofing your home. This is the only effective and long-term solution to reducing noise levels. Soundproofing can involve installing soundproofing materials on your walls, ceilings, and floors. If you are looking for a completely DIY option - choose DECIBOARD.
Use Soundproofing Curtains
Incorporate cutting-edge technology with soundproof curtains. They are a simple way to reduce noise in your home. These marvels combine style and function, keeping the outside world's roar exactly where it belongs – outside. Usually, the curtains are made from heavy, dense materials that absorb sound waves, such as velvet or suede. They can be hung over windows or doors to help reduce the amount of noise that enters your home.
Additional Tactics for a Quieter Space
Use Soft Close Mechanisms
Ever been jolted awake by the clang of a cupboard door? Soft close mechanisms are a game-changer. Not only do they add a touch of luxury, but they also ensure your mornings start with serenity, not startling noises.
Update Your Book Library
For the bookworms among us, here's the next bonus: books are kind of sound absorbers. Create cosy corners with built-in bookshelves, and let your collection do double duty as a noise buffer. They won’t do the miracle though.
Add Plants to Your Environment
Plants can also help to reduce noise levels in your home. They can absorb certain levels of sound waves and can help to create a more peaceful and relaxing environment. Some plants that are particularly effective at noise reduction include:
- Bamboo
- Palm trees
- Peace lilies
- Spider plants
- English ivy
