Our rapidly growing population has led to an explosion in house building in order to accommodate the vast amounts of people who live in the UK. With this comes a problem, most notably the issue of noise as the closer we live to one another, the more likely it is that noise will pass from one home or apartment to the other.
The perfect current example of this is a story reported on several online sites detailing the efforts of a flat owner to record a review of his neighbours attempts to perform karaoke throughout the night….
There are certain occasions when you expect to come across noise. Walking up and down a major road, travelling by public transport, listening to music through your headphones, going to the local pub or nightclub are just a few examples. But one place where you do not expect to hear noise, or at least hope that it will not become an issue, is in your home.
Unfortunately, many homeowners aren’t this lucky. Noisy neighbourhoods are prevalent throughout the UK, with the noise generated between households often causing conflict and tension between neighbours….
Life is getting noisier and noisier these days; more cars, more people and more technology are all contributing towards a perfect storm of daily disturbances. While the sources of noise come in a variety of forms, the reason it affects us all is usually the same; a lack of investment in soundproofing technology. While many people may have adopted certain home improvement innovations such as double glazing, combi-boilers and cavity wall insulation there has been a lack of widespread adoption for sound insulation products. This is a strange situation to have, especially when you consider the degree to which most homeowners would say they value their peace and quiet; often the issue is lack of awareness of the various noise insulation products and the benefits they have….
Noisy Neighbours, Public Transport, next door Pop Stars and any other forms of unwanted noise can drive you and your family mad. Since the development of public transport with more buses, more cars and train lines running through town centres it has become almost impossible to get a good nights sleep. Twin that with the amount of people walking down the road late at night creating noise as well as the potential to get neighbours that don’t know their noise levels and you are staring down the barrel at one noisy home….
There have been many social and technological changes over the last few decades which have resulted in some rather loud problems. Although there are numerous positives that have come from this change (some examples being games consoles, 3D TV’s and surround sound) the issue is that the positive effects are easy to adapt to where as many people fail to adapt to the negative issues. The main issue we are talking about is of course noise pollution. Remember, many of these technological changes have come from products that produce sound, things that we have not always had and therefore we may be unaware of their negative consequences….
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….
