Sound Insulation is a special system that minimizes the movement of sound from one source to another. It uses materials and methods that absorb, block, or dampen sound waves.
Types of Materials for Sound Insulation
1. Acoustics
Soundproofs comprise acoustic panels and treatments. It is best suited towards absorbing and transmitting sound waves reduction of resonance and unnecessary noise.
2. Glass
The installation of double-glazed windows with acoustic laminated glass is also very helpful, drastically reducing external noise.
3. Mineral Wool
Mineral wool has a strong sound-insulating effect, It is often employed in wall cavities, ceilings, and other places to minimize noise transmission between different rooms.
4. Glass Wool
Glass wool, also known as fiberglass insulation is widely used in thermal insulation. It has good sound absorption characteristics, which makes it affordable for sound insulation.
5. Drywall
Acoustical or gypsum boards are types of specially manufactured sound-proof drywall. Sound-damping layers are interspersed in it as well, which ensures noise insulation of rooms.
