Step by step guide to the soundproof home theatre right away.
As we know, that everyone has a dream to have their home theatre to be more comfortable and luxurious and well-equipped with the decent sound system with the giant projector screen, recliners and carpet to enjoy the multiplex experience at home. But most people do not know or maybe forgetting some dispensing elements while designing home theatre, which is acoustics and soundproofing. The primary purpose of home theatre soundproofing is isolating theatre’s sound from the rest of the house or neighborhood sound and creating a high-quality sound inside the home theatre room that gives you a fantastic sound experience at home.
So, first, we need to understand where sound leaks?
Usually, in the home theatre, sound levels range from 70db to 95 dB with the perfect low-frequency sound, known as bass and high-quality frequency sound. So it is pretty essential to control the low-frequency sound for soundproofing at the home because it passes through the thick walls, floors, doors, ceilings and other kinds of windows. For example, suppose if you play sound inside the car and stand outside the car by closing all the car windows, you will not hear the song lyrics properly, but you can listen to the bass vibration. But if you have performed home theatre soundproofing well, you can control the inner sound as well as outer sound.
Ways to control sound at the home theatre:
It is recommended to add high-density mass on the surface (ceiling, walls, and floors) to control the low-frequency sound. A High-density group is like SoundBlanket loaded with vinyl by bricks or gypsum, and to prevent the high-frequency sound waves, one should use the combination of absorber and diffusers.
Sound absorber:
You open high-density acoustic foam for the sound absorption
High-density mass:
High density closed cell soundproofing membranes blocks sound with STC 36
Sound diffusers:
Shaped surface to the dispersed sound in various direction
Step by step guide for home theatre soundproofing:
Step-1:
First, you need to measure the wall area with the formula which is:
Wall area of the room={Length*Height*2}+{Breadth*Height*2}
Ceiling area=length*Breadth
Floor Area= Length*Breadth
Total Area=Ceiling Area + Floor Area+ Wall Area
Step-2:
To find the room’s total area, we now need to add mass to the wall isolation using SoundBlanket loaded with vinyl with the 5mm thickness on the wall and 3mm thickness on the ceiling and floor for perfect home theatre soundproofing. It can be installed easily with acoustic design and crafts’ expert guidance and further putting the nail to the final grip. If you are installing SoundBlanket mass on the floor, the pin is not required.
Installation techniques : Walls : SoundBlanket can be cut into 1* 1-meter pieces and apply to the wall directly. It can also be pruned as per the insulation framework to fit in the GI network in high soundproofing areas.
Ceiling : It is recommended to use SoundBlanket MLV on the ceiling area but not use any suspension system because of heavy weight. The walls can be cut into several pieces and applied to cover 100% ceiling area, the addition of mass to block all the sounds.
Floor : SoundBlanket usually comes in the roll form so that it can spread quickly on the floor. It has the flexible property that allows it to turn and fold at the elevation and steps.
Step 3:
Now it’s time to add diffusers and absorbers. After the complete installation of the dampener, the absorber and diffuser are being installed directly on layer-1. Acoustic design and crafts uses the best sound absorber for the home theatre soundproofing with Groove acoustic foam, boxer acoustic foam and wooden acoustic panel.
The absorber is being placed on the first reflection point, which is located behind the speaker. 80% of the room is covered by the absorber and the rest 20% by sound diffusers.
Step-4:
After installing diffusers and absorbers, now it is time to cover the floor with the carpet to the wall.
Step-5:
Now install the window and door seal. Acoustic door seal used by our experts are self-adhesive tape that comes with the vacuum technology that blocks the air gap found in the door edge. Other door seal bottoms can be applied easily using the nails in the door’s bottom for covering air gaps.
Step 6:
Now is the time to complete the sound system, make other fits to experience a luxurious home theatre experience by doing home theatre soundproofing practice
Step by step guide for soundproofing and acoustic work for home theatre with the fabric paneling:
Step1:
Measure the wall area as mentioned above
Step 2:
Add mass for noise isolation on the wall, ceiling and floor as mentioned in previous steps.
Step 3:
Install the complete wooden framework as per your dream design
Step 4:
It’s time to install our recommended acoustic foam over the ceiling
Step-5:
Add acoustic sound insulation pads inside the framework up to 50 MM
Step 6:
Now it’s time to cover the framework with the acoustic fabric
Step 7:
Cover the floor with the carpet till all walls
Step 8:
Install the window and door seals. Use the self-adhesive tape to block the air gaps of the edge of the doors and apply other door seals bottom of the door for the zero air gaps.
Step 9:
Now complete the sound system to get the luxurious home theatre soundproofing experience
