Our sense of hearing responds to a high range of sound waves; however, any sound that goes beyond 80 decibels can cause permanent hearing damage. Modern facades have a layer of insulation that somewhat reduces the passing-by of sound waves. However, they are more efficient as thermal insulators and are primarily intended to prevent heat losses. For additional noise insulation, house owners should do the soundproofing of internal walls. But there are also some other measures to take in order to eliminate noise pollution from your home. Protect Interior Walls When you do wall and ceiling insulation (if you live in a building or a floor house), you’ve done most of the work.
