Noise Reduction Strategies for Apartment Living in Thrissur

Posted onMar 22, 2024

The  real estate market trends in Thrissur show a major shift in preference towards apartment living, moving away from individual homes. Smaller families find it easier to manage flats, and they offer more security. Living in flats can have a few drawbacks, like increased noise, as they are often located close to major roads, and because many people live together in a small area.

Here’s how you can bring down the noise pollution in your Thrissur apartment:

Use Thick Curtains

Heavy blackout curtains are capable of keeping unwanted sound and light out of your apartment. Thicker and darker the fabric, the better. Get more peace with thick drapes.

Rugs to the Rescue

You can use wall-to-wall carpeting so that sounds made in your own flat, like children jumping, dragging heavy objects like furniture, throwing stuff on the floor etc. are absorbed. They prevent the sound from going out or travelling within the flat. If you don’t want to carpet the whole area, make sure you place rugs at the entrance to all doors, and have a big carpet in the living room.

Keep Beds and Sofas Away from the Wall

When your bed or sofa is right against the wall, all the noise coming from the other side of the wall will reach you easily. Put some space between the sound and yourself by moving the furniture away from the wall. For your bed, you can also have a headboard filled with foam or cotton for better absorption.

Install a Bookcase

A bookcase makes you appear well-read, in addition to creating a natural barrier for the sound coming from the other side. You must, however, ensure that there are no gaps in the case. Pack it with paintings and photos in addition to books

Seal Doors and Windows

A small amount of noise comes in through the tiny gaps in your doors and windows. Fix the gaps with styrofoam or rubber. Install window inserts - acrylic or clear glass panes that go over the panes from the inside and block noise and light.

Leverage Technology

You may think what is the role of technology in modern luxury homes in Thrissur? You can get a white noise machine that emits non-distracting white noise, and drowns out the unwanted noise. Just remember to switch it off when you’re watching TV or listening to music. You can also get noise-cancellation headphones and listen to pleasant music as you work.

Create Sound Barriers on your Walls with:

• Fabric - Stick or hang thick, soft fabric on your walls and it will absorb most of the noise from the other side. You can also hang tapestry from top to bottom.
• Cork board - Sticking large pieces of cork boards on your walls, can help you create a sound barrier between your space and the source of the noise.
• Acoustic boards - Hanging boards covered with fabric to reduce noise and echo are studio tricks but they work beautifully at home as well.
