Noise transmission is a common issue that many homeowners face, especially those living in urban and suburban communities where houses are positioned close to one another or near busy streets. Anything that can disrupt the peace inside your own home can be frustrating.
But did you know that with new siding, you can get the peace and quiet you deserve? Let Homecraft® Inc. explain how siding affects noise transmission.
Your home’s siding can help in reducing the transmission of outside noise to your interior. This noise insulation differs depending on the siding material. For instance, vinyl siding outperforms others for noise frequencies below 4,000 Hz, while stone and other organic siding materials are ideal for frequencies above 4,000 Hz.
In addition, the acoustics of the material are also affected by its thickness and weight. Heavier and thicker materials are better at reducing noise than thinner materials. If noise transmission is a top priority when replacing your siding, don’t forget to ask your contractor about siding thickness.
