When you have a lot of noise around you, it makes everything more difficult to do, isn’t that true? It can make it hard to concentrate, difficult to hear and it can even cause anxiety and headaches for some. We will almost always have some sounds around us, but when you are inside your home, you probably want as little noise as possible. Unfortunately, some homes don’t insulate very well against noise, and some are noisy in themselves. So what might be causing a lot of noise inside your home?
Banging pipes, old appliances, and poor insulation are among the most common reasons for a noisy home. You might think that insulation is there only for preventing heat transfer, but it is also vital in blocking sound. You can notice a huge difference between a wall that is well insulated and one that isn’t. In fact, a wall with no insulation could actually make the noise worse, much like a drum when you are beating on in.
While you might not be ready to install new insulation in your home, it is definitely possible to improve the noise level by upgrading old, noisy appliances and putting some insulation on your pipes to lower the level.
