The issue of creating noise insulation of walls is interested in many people living in high-rise buildings built even during the USSR. Of course, no one wants to listen to the extraneous noises of the neighbors, just like the neighbors themselves do not want all residents to know what they are doing now. The only way to solve this problem is to create noise insulation. Obviously, there is nothing complicated in this process. Anyone can easily provide sound insulation of the walls in such a way that even with strong extraneous noise in the dwelling was quiet and cozy.

Features of housing noise insulation
It is worth understanding that noise insulation performs two functions at once:
- soundproofing provides a reflection of any sounds from neighboring apartments. This will absolutely not hear what is happening behind the wall;
- sound absorption allows you to evenly distribute all sound waves created inside the apartment. Accordingly, neighbors will not be able to hear what is happening within our apartment.
It is especially important to create noise insulation in large rooms, in which layers of insulating material are guaranteed to give comfort rooms and silence. At the same time, small apartments are primarily one-room, it is better not to create sound insulation, as this visually narrows space.
Creating noise insulation with plasterboard
To date, it is most often used to create noise insulation that is precisely plasterboard. It is an inexpensive material that is well bent and cutting.
In this case, we will need:
- metal bars,
- sound-forming material
- plasterboard,
- hardware.
At the very beginning you need to take care that the wall does not have any flaws. These include various holes and gaps. Obviously, these defects will negatively affect noise insulation, even if the most expensive insulation materials are used.
Next, you will need to build a frame for noise insulation. To create a frame, a profile is needed, which should be from the wall at a distance of a pair of subtime. Between the wall and frame, it is necessary to arrange any noise insulating material (you can also take a plug or rubber). All frame elements are mounted with bolts and nuts. Also for mounting the frame you can use dowels and hardware, fixed in the wall. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that after riding the mounting element, a crack may form.
Now the most responsible moment of work, during which you need to choose noise insulating material and put it in the frame. Most often, glass gamble or mineral wool is used as noise insulating material. Also in building stores you can find semi-rigorous plates based on mineral wool, which can also be used as sound insulation. In most stores, consultants will indicate which material has a maximum coefficient of noise absorption. Often soft materials better absorb noise than solid. It is from this information that should be repelled.
Next you need to fix plasterboard on a metal frame. This uses screws. It should be responsibly approaching this process, since the appearance in the material of the crack will mean reduced noise insulation. As you know, the plasterboard copes well with sound insulation of the walls, especially when parts of this building material are tightly adjacent to each other.
The joints of the sheets of plasterboard should be sampled by a special construction grid, and spacure is applied over it. It is necessary to make the wall surface to be perfectly smooth.
After that, you can paint the wall or blew the wallpaper. It should be noted that this is an inexpensive way of housing noise insulation. Most of all will need to spend money on plasterboard, which averages 150-200 rubles on the sheet.
Noise insulation with decorative panels
If the method with plasterboard does not like, you can use decorative panels. To date, many manufacturers have a large range of such products. The panels can be of different thickness, and produced from a wide variety of materials. In our case, it is better to abandon the wood panels, as they are worstly coping with noise insulation of the room.
Before starting construction work, it is necessary to understand that for the walls of the walls, the panels will require an ideally smooth wall. Otherwise, it will be necessary to create a crate. The cheek itself is a woodwork, similar to metal design for plasterboard sheets. Wood bars are attached to the wall with the help of dowels or screws. The design should be securely located on the wall, as the panels have a decent weight.
Painted panels to the crate with liquid nails. In addition, among themselves parts of the material must be attached according to the principle of "Ship-Paz".
The main advantage of this method of sound insulation is the decorative component that leaves far behind the plasterboard and other ways to finish the walls. At the same time, the panel does not guarantee the perfect sound isolation of the dwelling, as it is just an extra layer for the wall. If possible, you can place noise insulating material in the crate, it will slightly improve the situation.
Panel data is very expensive, their cost begins from 1000 rubles per 1 square meter. m. If the room is small, then this option is quite good.
Punching noise insulating material
Now in stores it is very often possible to meet rolls with noise insulating materials. They need to stick over vinyl wallpaper. On average, the noise isolation roll will allow to cover 7 square meters. m. Walls, which is noticeably more profitable for the past method. Experts in building affairs argue that this material reduces the level of extraneous noise by only 60%, therefore, to make serious competition with two past designs with these noise insulating rolls will be difficult.
On the other hand, this is a good option if the walls of the dwelling and so well cope with the insulation of sound.
Liquid nails use liquid nails for sticking noise insulating material. In this case, it is also necessary that the wall is smooth.
