Should I Soundproof My Door?

Soundproof door 

When homeowners want soundproof rooms, adding mineral wool, installing the acoustic foam or panels on walls are usually the first things that come to mind. They often ignore the doors. 

Often we emphasize on well-insulated exterior doors more than having noise-blocking interior doors. Here are a few areas many homeowners overlook:

  • Cracks between door and door frame. 
    •
  • Hollow crack that allows sound to travel through
    •
  • Big gaps at the bottom of the door
    •
  • Cracks between the frame and the door itself
    •

    The cracks and gaps result in letting sound to travel to your house or your room freely while destroying the quality of sound. 

    If you are wondering whether you should soundproof your doors or not, keep reading. 

    Here are a few reasons why you should soundproof your doors.

    1. A Peaceful Surrounding is a Healthy Environments: 

    Soundproofed room provides a more healthy, relaxing and concentrating environment. 

    2. Improve Quality of Your Sleep

     Who wants to wake up in the middle of the night due to train passing or frogs croaking or crows cawing  or wide-awake neighbors parting? Leaving big creaks of your doors allows these interrupting sounds to travel freely to your bedroom. By soundproofing the doors, it will eliminate disturbing noise.

     

     3. Improve the room’s design

    If you have fully soundproof the room with mineral wool, bass trap, acoustic foam and acoustic panel, your room should not have echoes bouncing in the room. To maximize the room’s design, be sure to soundproof your door so you can enjoy yourself without making any noises. 

    Here is a demonstration of Before and After Soundproof door.

    What's the difference between impact and airborne noise? 🔊

    1. Airborne Noise

    • This travels through the air, like conversations, TV sounds, or barking dogs. When sound waves hit a building, they cause it to vibrate, transmitting through the structure.

    2. Impact Noise

    • This results from physical impacts on buildings, such as footsteps, slamming doors, or moving furniture. Impact noise can be harder to isolate, as these vibrations are stronger and travel further through dense materials.

    What are decibels? 📏

    Decibels are measured logarithmically (not as a percentage) . This means that every increase of 10dB on the scale is a tenfold increase in sound pressure level (SPL) . Near silence is 0dB 🤫, while a sound at 10dB is ten times louder!

    • 30-40 dB = Soft music, whisper 🎶
    • 60-80 dB = Office noise, traffic 🚗
    • 85-100 dB (HARMFUL) = Subway, shouted convo, chainsaw ⚠️
    • 100-140 dB (DANGEROUS) = Chainsaw, loud concert, racing, shooting range 🚨
