How to eliminate noise?

We are exposed to noise everywhere in our lives, especially those who have lived in big cities for a long time. They are often disturbed by noise from all aspects. For example, there are often construction sites in cities now. The noise caused by construction sites is very serious. The harm of noise is very large, especially if it appears at night, it will seriously affect people's sleep and then endanger physical and mental health. So what are some ways to eliminate noise in life?

How to eliminate noise?

1. The best way to deal with noise is to seal the windows tightly. Whether it is a single-layer window or a double-layer window, sealing is the most important thing. The load-bearing capacity of a barrel is determined by the shortest piece of wood, and the sound insulation effect is determined by the weakest link. From the current level of technology, using plastic steel windows as a sealing method is the most effective decoration solution. For users who have already adopted aluminum alloy, they should ensure that the sealing strip of the aluminum alloy frame is intact. Relatively speaking, the sealing of aluminum alloy windows is worse than that of plastic steel windows.

2. After the window sealing problem is solved, the next step is to make it more sealed. After all, sound insulation is not just about sealing, it also depends on the sealing performance. Using hollow glass in plastic steel windows is a very effective way. Because the noisiest part is often the treble part, and the treble is transmitted in a straight line, glass can reflect most of it, and hollow glass can consume the non-reflective part. But be careful of unscrupulous businessmen who sell untreated double-glazed glass as insulating glass.

3. Using thick curtains to consume some of the sound energy is also a relatively simple method, but of course it is not a very effective method.

4. For mid-bass sounds such as vibration and friction, you can use carpets, fabrics, or even sound-absorbing (sound-isolating) cotton to reduce their impact on the room. Installing rubber pads at the foot of the bed can also reduce some of the vibration. At the same time, a mattress with a palm pad is better than a Simmons mattress with springs, of course, not to mention a hard bed board.

5. Now some houses use lightweight bricks (hollow bricks) for exterior walls. These materials have poor sealing properties. If they are located next to a road and have a great impact on the environment, you can also make a layer of wood (light steel) and gypsum board with sound-absorbing (insulating) cotton on the wall close to the road, and then use wallpaper or other decorative surface (of course, you can also use ordinary wall paint to treat the surface).

6. Of course, no matter how you do sound insulation, don’t forget proper ventilation. A too closed environment is also unhealthy for sleep. Noise prevention is required on the side facing the noise, and proper ventilation is also required on the side facing away from the noise. Of course, proper ventilation does not mean that the windows must be open, because noise has a certain resonance, which may affect the building behind and be transmitted back to the building where the noise is located.
