Features of soundproofing in the apartment

It is no exaggeration to say that every person who lives in a panel house complains about poor sound insulation. At the time these houses were being built, issues such as noise protection received the least amount of attention. In addition, even modern houses do not have reliable protection against the penetration of extraneous noise, so there is a need to take care of this issue on your own.

Sockets

Most often, noise enters the apartment through sockets, as they are adjacent to other apartments. In order to eliminate such noise, it is necessary to disassemble the socket, and use mineral wool to remove the gap, and then cover it with a special solution. As soon as the composition dries, the socket can be returned to its original place. In no case do not use mounting foam for this type of work, as it is combustible.

Mounting boxes

This design is the place where all the wiring is located. Most often, it is placed at the top of the wall under the ceiling. You can create high-quality sound insulation of this design in the same way as sockets, but it is best to contact a qualified specialist, because this is a dangerous job.

Pipe risers

Such risers have poor-quality sealing, due to which the insulating layer quickly begins to collapse during operation. Cracks begin to form, which let the sound through. In order to get rid of this trouble, it is necessary to remove the damaged area and treat it with a special solution.

cracks

Very often, the cracks that form at the junctions of the walls and the floor cause the penetration of extraneous noise into the room. Most often, they appear due to unprofessional floor screeding. In order to remove such a nuisance, it is necessary to remove the baseboards, cement the cracks, and fill all the joints with silicone.

Window

If you have wooden windows in your apartment, then they let in not only noise, but also cold, so there is a need to replace them with metal-plastic structures. But, if this is not possible, then you can use a sealant that will help get rid of this situation.

doors

Entrance doors let in a large amount of cold from the entrance, therefore, you can consider various options for soundproofing doors to get rid of such a nuisance.
