What to do if the noise is too loud and I can't sleep

The sleeping environment is very important for a person. If you are often in a noisy sleeping environment, it will affect your sleep quality. In the long run, it will lead to insufficient sleep. Insufficient sleep will not only affect your daily life, but also your physical health. However, if you are occasionally in an environment with too much noise, you can listen to music to alleviate the bad sleeping environment, which will help you fall asleep.

How to avoid noise problems when choosing a house

1. Stay away from main roads

When promoting their projects, many use their proximity to a main road as a selling point, which makes it appear that transportation is convenient, but noise hazards also come with it. When choosing a house, you should keep a proper distance from noise sources, and pay special attention to main roads.

The low-frequency noise from cars passing on the main roads is very penetrating, and people are very sensitive and irritated by this kind of low-frequency noise, especially the low hum of trucks pulling debris in the middle of the night and the buzzing sound of buses starting up. These are extremely annoying, and ordinary windows cannot block out such noise at all.

2. Pay attention to green belts

Green belts are natural noise reduction barriers and can reduce traffic noise. Pay attention to the green belts in the community. One is to see whether they can meet the sound insulation requirements from the outside world. The other is to see whether the distribution between the green belts and the buildings is reasonable and satisfactory. Because if the buildings are not closed and dense, then an echo space will not be formed, and the natural noise will be weakened.

3. Choose laminated glass

When buying windows for a new home, choose double-glazed windows that open. Early residential windows were sliding plastic-steel windows, which had large gaps, poor sealing, and terrible sound insulation. Now most of them use laminated glass, which not only has sound insulation performance, but also has functions such as UV protection, thermal insulation and energy saving. An important point is that it can be used as an anti-theft net. Not only is it strong, but even when it is hit by a violent external force, this laminated glass can prevent the impact object from penetrating.

4. Wall thickness is important

Generally, thick walls have better sound insulation. If the walls of a house are not thick enough, you can always hear the sound of the toilet flushing upstairs, the crying of children next door, people talking in the corridor, etc. at home. Many partition walls in high-rise buildings are hollow walls, which greatly affects sound insulation. When buying a house, it is recommended that you knock on the partition walls with your hands. Solid walls have little echo, while hollow walls have a loud echo and will vibrate.

5. Don’t choose the top floor or the first floor of an apartment with an elevator

There is an elevator machine room on the top floor. The resonance of the winch when the elevator is turned on will be transmitted through the floor. The elevator on the first floor has a shaft pit, and there have been cases of noise from the elevator shaft pit on the first floor disturbing residents.

6. Choose a house based on the thickness of the floor

When choosing a house, you can go to the middle of the room and stomp on the ground with your feet. Thin floors will feel particularly vibrating, while thick floors will not vibrate much even if your feet hurt. Thick floors have good sound insulation, and the vibration caused by upstairs neighbors walking on the floors will be much smaller. Many early buildings had hollow floor slabs, which have poor sound insulation and low safety factors.

7. Don’t choose a house with bedrooms near stairs

When sleeping at night, the vibration noise of the neighbors going up and down the stairs is still very scary. If the bedroom is far away from the stairs, the noise will be much smaller.
