So here we go! We’ve written several articles in the past on acoustic doors – sometimes called soundproof doors – and we’ve covered a wide variety of topics, ranging from what sound actually is and how it’s transmitted; how the volume of noise is measured and comparisons made; how to achieve noise reduction in principle; […]

Acoustic doors and the Decibel scale – what you need to know
Having returned to one of our favourite topics – namely acoustic doors – and having provided a quick introduction on the nature of sound itself, we’re now going to look at how the volume or loudness of sound is measured. The unit of measurement is the Decibel, originally named in honour of Alexander Graham Bell. […]
Read MoreThree interesting facts about sound
We won’t be returning to the topic of soundproof doors for a while, so now that you know all about the doors we thought that we would do what we do very occasionally and go off piste a little – and conclude this series of articles with three interesting facts about sound itself … So […]
Read MoreLet’s go back to the unit of measurement – the Decibel
In the second of our new series of articles on soundproof doors we’re going to take another look at the unit that measures the loudness of a sound, namely the Decibel. We need to understand how this unit operates so that we can understand relative noise reduction. The Decibel scale The Decibel is a logarithmic […]
Read MoreHorrible sounds – and how to protect yourself from them!
In our recent articles we’ve covered all sorts of topics, ranging from how soundproofing works right through to the special acoustic requirements of a recording studio, with a fair amount in between. We hope that you’ve found them interesting and informative. In the next two articles we’re changing tack somewhat, and will be looking at […]
Read MoreFinding the perfect soundproof door for concert halls
In this series of articles we’re covering the special requirements of particular environments to see exactly what’s required in the way of acoustic or soundproof doors. Last time we looked at sound or recording studios, which due to the nature of what they are designed to do have very demanding acoustic specifications. In this article […]
Read MoreFinding the perfect soundproof door for a sound studio
In our recent articles we’ve covered the basics, and it’s now time to delve into the special requirements of particular environments to see exactly what’s required. In this, the first of these new articles, we’re taking a look at sound (or recording) studios – possibly the most demanding environment of them all when we’re thinking […]
Read MorePurposes of acoustic doors – summary
In the previous articles in this brief series we’ve covered the basics of sound-proofing and noise reduction, we’ve begun to look at the levels required in different workspaces and environments, and we’ve taken a look at sound itself. In this final summarising article we’re taking a closer look at the options that are available, and […]
Read MoreSound…
Since this series of articles is all about noise (sound) reduction, we thought that it might be useful to give you some background on what it is and how it “works”. Sound is a form of energy that is created when air is disturbed such that the air pressure changes and radiates from the source […]
