My House is So Loud! Tips for Soundproofing Your South Florida Home

Making changes in your South Florida home to cultivate a quieter, more soundproof environment provides numerous benefits:

• Reduced stress levels, which can lower your blood pressure and lead to improved health
• Better ability to concentrate on quiet hobbies, such as reading or deciphering crossword puzzles
• Improved sleep due to fewer loud disruptions
• Enhanced conversations with family members since you can hear each other better
• More privacy. Soundproofing your home helps prevent your neighbors from hearing what is going on in your home
• Increased home value. Future buyers can recognize the benefit of a tranquil home environment and view your home more favorably than the competition.

If these benefits are appealing to you, there are several approaches to achieving them. Let’s take a look at three ways to increase the soundproofing abilities of your home:

Re-Landscape Outside Your Home

Tall, thick trees, shrubs, and grasses can absorb sound from the outside and reduce the amount of it entering your home. The trees should be planted densely near one another to maximize the amount of sound buffering they provide. Using soundproof fencing or a wall can help increase the soundproofing abilities as well. Not only can this help increase the quietude of your property, but it will be beautiful for you and your guests to admire as well.

Place Sound-Absorbing Features Inside Your Home

An inexpensive approach to soundproofing is to install soundproofing curtains throughout your home. Soundproofing curtains are long curtains that cover from the top of the window to the ground and are made of a very dense material. They absorb sound to make the room quieter. Installing carpeting, especially thick carpeting, is another option to soundproof a room. Similarly, adding additional furniture, throw pillows, and built-in bookshelves are all effective ways to improve the soundproofing of your home.

Install Hurricane Impact Windows and Doors

When most homeowners think about hurricane impact windows, they automatically think about the superior storm protection benefits that these windows offer. Another, lesser-known, benefit of these windows is that they provide an incredibly high level of soundproofing. Hurricane impact windows contain multiple levels of laminated glass with a polymer interlayer. This unique construction traps sound waves and reduces their transmittance into your home, significantly reducing your home’s noise pollution. Different brands and strengths of hurricane impact windows offer varying levels of soundproofing to meet the specific needs of your home.

To further maximize the tranquility of your home, consider investing in hurricane impact doors. These doors offer the same benefits as hurricane impact windows. With both hurricane impact windows and doors in your home, you will ensure all the openings to your home offer the highest level of soundproofing available, helping you to create an oasis of peace.
