Effective Types of Insulation for Noise Reduction

7 April 2022/by Insulapack

Soundproofing is a need for many households. Luckily, there are many soundproofing materials available in the market. Some are really good products but some are really questionable when it comes to benefiting homeowners. Hence, it’s important to make a careful decision when it comes to buying sound barrier insulation. This blog can be a starting point in identifying the most effective types of insulation for noise reduction.

Typical Noise Problems

A house located in a busy residential area is bombarded with thousands of noises every day. But sound insulation can protect the home from noise pollution and improve the comfort level. Some of the typical noise problems that exist in a residential home include:

  • Airborne sounds move through the air, such as honking, conversations, and dogs barking.
  • Flanking noises that travel across the sound barrier. These are often difficult to control since they can easily travel over a soundproof wall, hollow-core boxes, or even an electrical box.
  • Impact sounds, as the name suggests, are the noises caused when one object strikes another, such as when a glass falls on the floor.

Types of Soundproofing Materials

1. Acoustic Foam

Also known as studio foam, this material is very effective when it comes to absorbing sound. Acoustic insulation is usually attached to the walls in the form of panels. But they can also be hung from ceilings in the form of baffles.

2. Mineral Wool

Made using spun fiber from slag or igneous stone, mineral wool is a dense and porous material. In this way, mineral wool can reduce the movement of heat and cold across the walls, ceilings, and floors. Most importantly, mineral wool has the ability to absorb impact and airborne sounds effectively.

3. Blown-in Cellulose

This material is made using recycled fiber from paper and a fire-retardant material. The quality of the fibers in the cellulose determines its ability to absorb sound. Generally, the more loosely packed the fibers are, the better equipped the material is to absorb the sound.

4. Fiberglass

Fiberglass is made using melted plastic that is spun into wool and then further reinforced with small glass fibers. As a porous material, fiberglass has the ability to trap air and keep the room warm or cool. The porosity of the material further allows it to absorb airborne sounds.

Conclusion

Soundproof insulation is one of the popular types of insulation in the market because noise pollution is a real concern in residential and commercial areas. Contact Insulapack today to get high-quality soundproof insulation, such as acoustic pipe insulation, at a minimal price to make your house soundproof.
