The carpet base is a great way to combat unwanted noise, and it's much cheaper than having your home soundproofed by a professional. Do acoustic carpets really work? The answer is yes - they are effective in reducing noise in your home. The soundproof base works by reflecting off high-mass materials to reduce airborne noise, while absorbing and converting acoustic energy into something like heat energy. This will reduce airborne noises, but it won't stop them completely.
To do that, you need a solid material, which would make the carpet uncomfortably hard.\An acoustic carpet is very effective at controlling noise inside buildings or even in areas by absorbing sound from the air. Adding an acoustic base can improve the look and feel of your carpets and add value to your property. At Carpet Underlay Shop, we have a wide range of soundproof bases, including the Cloud 9 Cumulus Underlay base and the Tredaire Colours red sponge rubber base, both of which have an ultra high rating of 46 dB.\The base layer is not technically designed to block airborne sounds. This is because if the base were 100% soundproofed in the air, it would be a completely solid material that does not offer comfort and would not protect the carpet.
The MuteMat 3 is the best acoustic base to help you comply with the building regulations included in part E without using any other material. Although you should have a base layer in every room in your house, you don't need a soundproof bottom layer in every room. It's important to know if the floor to which the acoustic base is going to be added is made of wood or concrete and the importance of the final finishes of the floor.\The soundproof carpet base incorporates high-mass materials to reflect airborne noise, while the normal base layer has a relatively low mass. However, if we need to control airborne noise, then we need to add mass to the underlying acoustic layer.
First, understand the type of noise you're trying to reduce, as this will determine what acoustic layer you need. Companies that sell layers of carpet with soundproofing qualities quote a figure in dB, but this only shows how much airborne noise is blocked on a concrete floor, of which the bottom layer of carpet represents only 5%. You will find in the coating market that many companies claim that their coating products completely block airborne noise. By having several layers of different thicknesses and densities, you can smooth out this drop in performance and achieve the best soundproofing with your acoustic base layer.
For carpets, you need a product that is soft but doesn't hit rock bottom, as is the case with most acoustic base coats on the market.
