Ensure peace with Noise-lock windows

Image
The benefits and drawbacks of living in a city are properly balanced. It enhances the life quality by enhancing accessibility and convenience, but it also raises noise and air pollution. Exposure to harsh sounds and loud noise on a daily basis might be exceedingly to our mental and physical health.  In spite of mounting evidence of noise pollution, various social, medical, and economic repercussions on human health, we often neglect the clear link between disease and noise stress. Sleep disorders, noise cause hearing loss, psycho-physiologic and cardiovascular problems, performance decline and annoying reactions, according to the findings of WHO.  The Impact of noise Long-term exposure to noise surpassing 80 decibels is identified to be possibly dangerous, impacting sleep cycles, emphasis, communication, and if staying unattended, leading to hearing loss. Thus, instead of neglecting the issue, it is vital to take remedial action when required.  Conventional windows and doors are not ma

How can you soundproof your windows?

Hurricane and soundproof windows can be a great upgrade if you have the luxury of building your home from scratch. They offer a substantial amount of peace and serenity from external street noise, barking dogs and loud neighbors. But what about those of us who are hiring, or have bought an older existing home? STC 57 window is frequently not an option, as they need professional installation, and cost thousands of dollars each.  How to soundproof windows The very first step to soundproofing a window is to realize where the sound is coming from. There are various paths that sound may take to come through the window and wall partition, including: • Sound flanking through the gaps across the window • Structure or vibration borne noise rattling metal framing and window pane.  • Double up the soundproofing rating of your window A great start to soundproofing your current window is to know how much sound it is already blocking out. Architects and engineers use a measurement known as ST

Selecting the ideal acoustic doors for your office or home

Are you someone that likes to get solace in the walls of your home, where silence can bring in peace and a break from the chaos of the external world? If so, you may be interested in learning how to ascertain your living space to recognize sources of undesired noise that may be impacting your calmness. Here, we will cover some easy steps to detect and rectify these noise sources so you can enjoy a more peaceful and unwinding home ambience.  Understanding soundproof doors When we live in an apartment or a house, undesired noise from outside can be a major issue. We can’t eradicate noise, but we can take some prudent steps to lessen it.  One way to do this in the mason industries is by exploring where the noise comes from and how it gets into our factories. After some investigation, we generally find three main ways:  • Windows that are not insulated properly • Vibrations that travel through floors and walls • Holes and gaps in windows and walls that allow noise in Advantages of s

How to install noise control walls

Noise control walls are vital for several reasons. If you live in a city, you might want to soundproof the walls to lessen the noise from traffic or your neighbors. If you work from home, you might want to soundproof the walls to create a serene space to focus. Regardless of your reasons, there are some easy steps you can follow to soundproof wall that we will unveil in this post for you.  What exactly is soundproofing?  Soundproofing is the sound insulation process, which is used to block way undesired noise from entering a space. There are various ways to soundproof a room, and the most effective technique will vary depending on the noise type you are trying to block away and the precise circumstances of your space when it comes to noise control ceilings or walls.  Top reasons you should soundproof the walls and the floors You may be marveling why you should soundproof the wall and the floors. Well, isn’t noise just a part of life? Although it is true that a specific amount of nois

Melamine Foam- Ideal for acoustic insulation

Image
Melamine foam is undeniably one of the best acoustic insulation materials.It is fire-resistant and has outstanding noise reduction and sound attenuation properties. Its vibration isolation and soundproofing properties create a serene environment for everyone. In this post, we will offer more details on why melamine foams are ideal for acoustic insulation.  What exactly is melamine foam? Melamine foams are flexible, sleek, low-density micro porous material made from melamine resin, a thermosetting polymer composed of formaldehyde and melamine. To create melamine foam composite , the melamine resin compound is foamed with a unique three-dimensional structure featured by a highly interconnected cross-linked system.      The high degree of cross-linking of the sonex foam makes it more resistant to cold and more thermally stable than conventional foams like polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyurethane, which have lesser degrees of cross-linking.  Characteristics and features of Sonex fo

The Way Sound Absorption Panels and Perforated Metal Work

Image
Perforated metal fulfills many purposes, from aesthetics to lighting. One of its most beneficial functions is sound absorption. Sound absorption panels effectively lessen undesired noise by assisting to deploy it.  Contemporary buildings, specifically those that are located in bigger commercial districts, face new challenges when it comes to controlling noise. Nothing hampers the workflow and reduces morale like an unlimited background din. How sound absorption panels lessen noise? Sound absorption is not a new concept for the builders. Some of the initially known architectures include acoustical aspects and noise control, from public gathering spaces to concert halls. As the earliest builders also knew, specific materials are more effective in absorbing sound waves, instead of reflecting them back out as echoes. Usually, non-porous and flat surfaces have very limited ability to absorb sound waves, as those waves bounce across noisily until they diffuse on their own. You may also inst

How to lessen air compressor noise

Image
Conventionally, air compressors have been known to create much noise. They require a motor to create compressed air so it is expected that an air compressor of any size or shape will create some sound. It is pretty inevitable, specifically for bigger air compressors necessary for industrial factory applications. But is there anything that can be done to lessen the noise made by an air compressor? Yes, and that is an air compressor enclosure .  We understand that noise created by an air compressor can be distracting and loud, specifically in something such as a retail ambience or a smaller workspace such as car workshop. This is why we have emerged with a solution for compressor noise that will not only lessen the sound that comes from compressed air production; the final outcome is made to look good also! After months of stringent testing to get all the details in position, the team here at O’Neill Engineered Systems emerged with a compressed air enclosure, designed to solve the probl
