Using Your Speakers At Full Blast Without Getting In Trouble
True music fans have always had something in common, that might not be their favorite band or singer but, the one thing that every music lover has in common with other music lovers is that they at some point in their lives have wanted to play their favorite tunes at full blast, maybe it was because he really liked the track you were listening to or maybe because you were just in a great mood, whatever made you raise the volume of your stereo (or made you wish you could do so) is not the reason for this article however, we are going to discuss different ways that you could enjoy your favorite music at full blast without having to disturb your neighbors.
There are many alternatives when it comes to listen to your favorite tunes loudly, they could go to your favorite club, to a karaoke place, you could buy a good pair of headphones or even better you could soundproof your room or this to you that you are using to listen to your music.
Electric guitar players, musicians, DJs, composers and other people who had to listen to their creations at a decent volume have faced serious problems with their neighbors because they constantly complain about the inappropriate volume you are this music to. During high school or your younger years you had to use your parents garage in order to practice your electric guitar skills because you didn't want to disturb the rest of the family with the "distortion" feature of it, while that is a somewhat effective way to do what you want to do, it is not the best way of doing things.
Using the same technology that movie theaters use it is possible for the everyday Joe to turn his or her house (Jane in this case) into a sound-proof music studio, that you may think that this will cost you an arm and a leg however, most of the time these installations are relatively inexpensive because of a material which is used to soundproof a room is a special type of foam which is also referred to as acoustic foam.
When it comes to foam, not every shape and type of it will be appropriate in order to soundproof your room, this is why it has to be a special acoustic foam which comes in sheets of different sizes, these sheets have different shapes and designs in order to minimize the echo and to enhance the overall sound quality in the room you're trying to isolate. If you are a musician, a person who has something to music and loud noises or even if you are just a music lover, the best way to avoid trouble caused by your sound equipment's loud volume is to modify your room and make it sound proof.

Types of Laminate Floor Underlayment
Laminate floor underlayment is often much more important than the floor itself. It directly affects the quality and life of the floor, as well as have an impact on its properties and repercussions to the people that use it regularly. All of that makes the choice for the right type of laminate floor underlayment a very important step when installing a your new floor.
Although a great number of underlay models and types are available, many of those are aimed to serve not only laminate but also hardwood and other floors. While it is not necessarily a bad choice, there are laminate specific underlayments that you may prefer in order to ensure the higher overall quality of the finished floor.
Polyfoam is the most versatile and popular type of layer as it can be used on any type of sub-floor surfaces as long as they are dried and cleaned in advance. The foam covers small irregularities and adds slight shock absorbing properties to the floor which makes it more comfortable to walk on. Combined with a damp proof membrane (DPM) layer underneath, it is a good and cheaper solution for the majority of home owners.
Wood fiber boards are the thickest form of underlayment and can smooth out even more irregular sub-floors. This is often the case with old solid or damaged wooden surfaces that are not possible to completely fix manually. A bonus property that comes with wood fiber boards is their excellent sound absorption and heat insulation. A necessity when using such underlayment is to let it acclimatize just like you do with your laminate floor itself by leaving them inside the premise that is to be floor covered.
Combined underlay have a couple of layers pressed together to form a thicker, more complete solution. Not only DPM, but either foam, cork, rubber or a combination of these are used to provide better fill in capabilities that even out surfaces and add noise reduction properties to the floor. Depending on your budget you may be able to find a good serving combo underlayment to fit your needs. With the option to order from the Internet you have access to a larger variety and thus are not limited to what is only available in your local shops.

Locating Your Soundproof Fence
The first thing you must do when installing a soundproof fence is to locate it at least eight feet higher than the source of the noise you want to eliminate. Many municipalities, however, allow only 6' foot high fences, so if necessary, you can raise your fence to the appropriate height by constructing an earthen berm on which to erect the soundproof fence.
If, for instance, the noise you are trying to block is traffic noise, construct a soundproof slatted fence of either redwood or cedar so that it is situated at least eight feet above the street from which the traffic noise is coming. While any fence will help to block unwanted noise, a fence eight feet above the source of the noise will do so most effectively.
Creating a Frame And Foundation For Your Soundproof fence
You should create the sturdiest foundation possible for your soundproof fence, by installing 4" X 4" posts set in concretes to a depth of at least two feet. You need to make your fence frame as strong as possible because the redwood or cedar fencing will have to carry the weight of its sound blocking materials.
Your soundproof fence cross members will be 2' X4' beams connecting its post and providing support to the redwood or cedar slats. When the cross members have been set into the posts, it will be time to install your fence soundproofing materials. You should have already ordered your mass loaded vinyl, or MLV, from Soundproofing America, in wither 30" x 4'1/2" or 35' x 4' rolls, acoustical soundproofing caulk, and sound-dampening tap, which are all you need to create the soundproof membrane.
Installing The Membrane For Your Soundproof Fence
Stretching the mass loaded vinyl over the fence's frame, make sure that it reaches to the ground so that no sound can pass beneath your fence. Make sure the sections of MLV overlap by at least half an inch and either nail or staple them to the fence's frame. Use your acoustical caulk to seal the overlaps and the perimeter of the MLV, and then use PVC seam sealing tape to give further sound protection to the caulked seams.
Finishing Your Soundproof Fence
Now you're ready to add your redwood or cedar slats, using dog-eared 8'foot slats butted as closely as possible, with their seams also caulked (although this is not essential). I suggest putting slats along both sides of your soundproof construction fence, not only to make it look better, but to protect your soundproof membrane. Your fence will do a great job of blocking sound without it, but most homeowners do it anyway!

Fire Resistant Insulation Complements Safety Systems
It is all too easy for an accidental spark to start a blaze. And, as the nation has recently seen, weather can conspire to prolong and expand the breadth of the flames. However, employing fire resistant foam offers some defense against smaller blazes, and as easy as spraying in insulation.
foam insulation spray offers another means of insulating a building. It is cost effective in the energy output it saves you. It is also greener than other insulating materials and flame resistant. Foam is effective as a sealant because it expands to fill every crevice and empty space, even between joists and joints. In this way, the insulator keeps out air and debris, among other things.
As part of a fire protection system, its sealing feature is also of great benefit. With the foam, you don't have to worry about air pockets within the material where combustibles can collect or cause other hazardous problems. You also don't have to fear flames getting into unfilled pockets to either burn the structure beneath or become hotbeds should a fire occur. Additionally, the fact that the insulation keeps air out prevents more air from reaching a blaze or causing dangerous backdrafts.
One of the best features about fire resistant insulation is that the material itself doesn't burn. Even if fire somehow gets into the insulation, the substance doesn't catch fire. Admittedly, after prolonged exposure to flames, the surface shows charring, but the flames never take hold. Considering the cost of rampant fire damage, charring is a much nicer and more affordable trade off.
In trial tests, investigators built three sample crawl spaces. This trial was conducted to compare the performances of one type of insulator to an untreated "calibration" construction. This first was used for a calibration test. The other two were treated with one type of a spray in insulation product. Each crawl space was tested to a "failure time" in which the flames consumed the plywood or could no longer be sustained.
The calibration deck exhibited steady flames from the front after 6 minutes of exposure to a flame source placed inside the construct. After 9:30 minutes, the blaze penetrated the plywood.
The second and third tests reflected similar results, which surpassed the results of industry standard tests. Specifically, after 1:40 minutes, the controlled blaze ate into the insulation surface, but there was no ignition. After 3:40, there was sporadic ignition of the foam's surface. Ignition ceased after 8:30 minutes. In nearly ten minutes of exposure, there was no burn through of the test material nor the plywood above it.
The investigators allowed the flame source to burn until it collapsed, a period of nearly twenty minutes. The test was finally ended after 26 minutes. There was charring over the whole of the insulating surface, and some loss of material where the flames touched the surface, but the plywood was completely intact as was the majority of the spray in material.
Other products don't last nearly as long in tests. Clearly, fire resistant insulation is an effective way to protect your building. The benefits are clear from the tests. Choosing an environmentally friendly, easy to install and flame resistant product would be of great benefit. With the properties of foam insulation spray, you can install it in a new or existing building. Foam systems for fire protection are a smart and efficient choice for any structure.
Fire hazards are a concern for any building owner. Creating a safe structure is a primary consideration. Employing fire resistant insulation [http://www.apexfoam.com] is a smart choice. Visit Apex Foam Industries to see how their products can serve your needs. [http://www.apexfoam.com]

Green Glue Applied With Drywall Between Joist and Stud Cavities For Added Soundproofing
There are many methods for applying Green Glue effectively; in this article I will describe one common but often times over looked Green Glue application. If you are renovating or completely remodeling you house and have stripped the walls and ceilings down to the bare wood studs and joists, there is a soundproofing method that that can be employed while the walls and ceilings are in this open state.
While these cavities are opened up it is a great idea to cut pieces of drywall that will fit into these joist and stud cavities and then apply Green Glue to the backs of these pieces of drywall and then screw them tightly into the cavities. If you are soundproofing a ceiling, the Green Glue laden drywall will screw directly to the bottom of the sub floor above. If you are adding drywall and green glue to wall (stud cavities) then you will need to be careful as the screws that screw in the Green Glued drywall will only be able to be screwed into the existing drywall on the backside of the wall. Generally folks who are soundproofing their home with Green Glue find that they need only apply the green glue between 2 layers of drywall on either side of the wall and that will be plenty of soundproofing, but in a ceiling situation where you are trying to stop both impact noise as well as airborne sounds from above, you want as much protection as you can get.
Now if you are able to add 2 layer of drywall with Green Glue in between the joist cavities you will be adding greatly to your soundproofing endeavor. Once you have completely lined the cavities with the drywall and Green Glue, you can then install common fiberglass insulation into the remained of the open joist cavity space. Place the insulation into the cavities loosely so that it will help to absorb the noise but will not transmit sound as it could if it were packed tightly into the cavities, this goes for stud cavities as well.
Once you have completed this part of your soundproofing project, you simply need to install 2 more layers of 5/8" drywall to the joists with a minimum of 2 tubes of Green Glue applied to each 4' X 8' layer of drywall that you put up. Three tubes of Green Glue per sheet of 4' X 8' drywall would be better, but as I always say, 4 tubes is a waste of money. Always put your soundproofing dollars where they can do the most good and never spend more than you need to in order to soundproof.
Well I sincerely hope this article has shed some light on some of the other uses of Green Glue as you are building or remodeling your home, office or industrial area. Thanks for reading and learning, this is Dr. Bob...Out!

What is Green Glue and How Does It Work for Soundproofing?
Green Glue is a revolutionary new soundproofing compound that approaches the issues of soundproofing from an entirely different angle. Green Glue is no a sound blocker or a sound absorber of a sound diffuser, but rather it is a sound deadener or damper. I know, I can hear the wheels in your head turning. What is a sound damper? Well, I'm glad you asked. A sound damper is and agent or material that actually stops the transmission of sound through two rigid hard surfaces such as drywall or soundboard.
Here's how it works, when Green Glue is applied to a second sheet of drywall and then sandwiched in between the existing drywall and this new piece of drywall. The Green Glue will actually change the resonant frequencies of both layers of drywall and will stop their ability to transmit sound.
So are your confused yet. I have a very simply analogy of how the Green Glue actually works. I got this from a customer who was well attuned to the properties of Green Glue.
If you will, visualize your wall as being a drumhead. Now you have one of your kids beat the drum with a drumstick. The drum will resonate loud and clear, as there is nothing restricting the transmission of the sound as the drumstick strikes the drumhead. Now let take that same drumhead and as the child strikes the drum you place your finger on the drumhead. What happens now? The drum is now restricted and cannot transmit the sound or will only transmit a fraction of the sound that it did when the drumhead was unrestricted. I hope this little analogy has shown you how the Green Glue acts as a sound damper when applied between two layers of drywall or soundboard. I sure put Green Glue in perspective for me and I have been in the soundproofing industry for years.
Now knowing that the Green Glue is not a blocking agent or and absorber, it is now absolutely essential that is cover every square inch of the drywall layers. In other words, once you screw the second layer of drywall over top the first with the Green Glue sandwiched in between, it makes no difference that the screws are making a connection between the stud structure and the drywall layers. Why you ask? Because we are damping or deadening the drywall layers, he Green Glue is not a soundproof barrier.
Green Glue fills a very critical gap when soundproofing. It precludes you from having to remove your existing drywall. As far as I am concerned, the less demolition I have to do, the better.
Lastly, Green Glue also works remarkably well when applied to your ceiling. If you live in a condo, apartment or loft and have neighbors above you, you know exactly what I am talking about. Impact noise also known as Footfall noise is some of the hardest noise to deal with. Sure you could spend thousands on expensive hangers and clips and mass loaded vinyl not to mention the labor costs involved, and granted you will get some great soundproofing and impact protection if these materials are installed properly, but with if you use the Green Glue system on your ceiling you can experience a 60%-65% reduction in the amount of impact noise that is transmitted from the unit above. With the cost of housing ever climbing, Green Glue is becoming an essential part of building a home that gives you peace and solitude.
To learn more about Green Glue and how it can help you soundproof your home, go to www.greengluecompany.com there you will find independent test of the Green Glue against mass loaded vinyl, lead foil sheeting, suppress and Quiet rock as well as other damping agents. You will see that Green Glue is by far the most effective sound-damping agent on the market today.

How Soundproofing Material Can Work For You
How Soundproofing Material Works
The best soundproofing material will completely block sound vibrations from being conducted in and out of your recording studio, so it must be made of a completely solid substance. The smallest tear in soundproofing material will render it useless, as sound can find its way through the tiniest of openings.
Fiberglass soundproofing material, for this reason, is the material of choice for many professional soundproofing installers. But in some professional recording studios, the pros will use lead barriers to block sound waves. The use of lead barriers, however, requires knowledge not only of how sound waves travel, but of how both fiberglass and lead barriers work to block them. This knowledge is what separates the professional soundproofing installer from the home handyman, and is the reason you should go with a professional if you want your recording studio to be as impervious as possible to sound.
The Differences Between Sound Absorbent and Soundproof Material Before you begin your search for what you'll need to finish your recording studio, you need to clarify for yourself the differences between sound absorbent and soundproofing materials. They don't perform in the same way, and neither can be substituted dfor the other.
You may be familiar with acoustical foam, which can absorb sounds within a room, and is very easy for a DIYer to use. Acoustical foam is rated A, B, or C according to its fire-resistance and some widely publicized fires have resulted from the use of low-grade acoustical foam. So if you are going to use it, don't skimp on the cost.And make sure that you plan a clear exit from the room in case you do have a fire, because your fire resistant acoustical foam will produce toxins if it should burn, and they are even more lethal than the fire itself!
Soundproofing material, on the other hand, will prevent exterior sound waves from entering your recording studio. The soundproofing material will be applied on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the studio, as well as around its doors and windows. Soundproofing material is also rated, but it's rated according to the degree to which it can lower sound decibels reaching the studio's interior.
How to Use Soundproofing Material
You can use Soundproofing material in your recording studio by creating the studio as a "room within a room," and adding the soundproofing to the space between the new and original walls. This is the easiest method for a home DIY-er to create a soundproof room.
