How Can Soundproofing Benefit You?

A problem that has been around for many years regardless of whether you are the creator or the receiver is excessive noise. Everyone creates their own share of noise but a percentage of the population create noise that is unacceptable and disturbing for those around. There are some forces such as public transport including railways and busy roads which are unavoidable but noisy neighbours are an irritating issue for the population. The vast majority of your neighbours will be respectful and understand that any excessive noise should be kept to a minimum and avoided when possible. For those who are surrounded by noisiness or even just want even more peace and quiet the prospect of installing noise insulation is a sound investment….

Keep The Noise Down With The Right Soundproofing

Taking the step of soundproofing your home might seem like an unusual thing to do, soundproofing is something most people would associate with industrial buildings or areas of heavy noise pollution such as near railways and airports. However, sound insulation is something that can benefit every single homeowner regardless of where they live. Ultimately sound pollution does not have a single source, yes, railways, motorways and airports are loud but so is the slamming of a car door at 6 in the morning or the banging of music at 12 at night. All of these can have very noticeable effects on the standard of living a person has; suffering from a chronic lack of sleep due to disturbances can create very serious health issues….

Avoid A Possible Conviction When You Soundproof At Home

As the issue of noise has become a growing concern in the UK, so the punishments handed out by local authorities have become stricter and stricter. Anti-Social Behavioural Orders (ASBOs) are now given readily to persistent offenders, whilst others have had their possessions taken away from them and several have been issued with community service, or in some cases, sent to prison.

The UK population continues to grow at a rapid rate so it is understandable that the level of noise as a consequence has grown with it. The amount of cars, buses, motorbikes, taxis etc. has increased, as has air and rail travel.

To help accommodate these growing numbers of people, housing has also substantially increased so as you can imagine millions of people are living within very close proximity of one another….

Soundproofing Is Fit For Every Location

Let Acoustic Supplies Deal With Noisy Neighbours

There is not a day goes by without someone contacting Acoustic Supplies and informing us of some form of noise-related issue they have with a neighbour. Disputes between neighbouring homes have grown over the past few years which is the inevitable consequence of an ever-expanding population.

Unfortunately, too many people take the law into their hands and confront their neighbours in a way deemed aggressive and forceful, when they should look to talk with them rationally to try and find a resolution. If the latter doesn’t work and you don’t have any change in luck after approaching your local council, then the next step should be to approach Acoustic Supplies….

Tackle Noisy Neighbours With JCW Acoustic Supplies

If you have utilised all the options that appear open, you should then perhaps look at taking a different approach courtesy of soundproofing from Acoustic Supplies….

Elderly Neighbour Given ASBO For Causing Excess Noise

Noisiness between neighbouring homes has become a growing problem in the UK. When you hear stories about noise-related disputes you automatically presume that the issue has been caused by people of a young age, however this is not necessarily the case!

An 87 year old woman in Hampshire has been handed with an ASBO (Anti-Social Behaviour Order) after being found guilty of causing severe disruption over the past 13 months. Georgina Sims was reported by her neighbours for playing loud music on her radio and banging her walking stick on the wall to try and drown out ringing in her ears caused by tinnitus. The ASBO was issued upon Mrs Sims as she and her family had previously been warned by the local authority….
