What is Sound Deadening?
Challenge
A common misconception we often face is that insulation can soundproof your home. To make a structure soundproof means to create resistance to the passage of sound, resulting in stopping the sound completely. While insulation in general cannot soundproof your walls, it CAN deaden the sound. Here at RetroFoam we take pride in the fact that we can deaden that sound significantly!
Sound deadening reduces the vibration of volume or sound. In order to fully grasp the benefits of RetroFoam’s sound deadening abilities, we need to understand how sound travels.
According to GIK Acoustics in Atlanta, Georgia, sound travels in two ways — through the air and through structures. Airborne sound is quite simple to understand. Any holes or open air you have in a room are considered sound leaks–for example, outlets, HVAC ducting, electrical switches, etc.
When sound travels through structures, the sound then vibrates those structures as well as everything connected to them–walls, floors, duct work, etc. Those vibrations recreate the sound, resulting in a noisy home. However, RetroFoam can help transform your home into a quiet oasis with its sound deadening abilities.
RetroFoam: The Sound Solution
RetroFoam is an injection foam that is 60% closed-cell which allows it to absorb a significant amount of sound energy as well as sound vibrations–reducing your noise level by up to 75%!
