Namely, noisy neighbours, street traffic or the noise coming from the construction site nearby can seriously disturb your everyday life, not to mention your health. This is why this problem needs to be properly addressed. In that regard, one of insulation manufacturers Isover has published the Noise Report which showed some interesting findings. The main goal of the Report was to provide information to the construction and insulation companies on what are the most common noise issues that an average UK homeowner deals with and what are the most common sources of noise that should be put under control.
Namely, the Report has shown that around 27% of the UK homeowners have noise problems with street traffic, 36% complain of their neighbor’s pets, while over quarter of the household owners have problems with noisy neighbors. However, what comes as a surprise is not only the number of households that are struggling with noise, but also the fact that less than half has tried to do something in order of resolving this issue. Only around 6% of the participants stated that they have tried to resolve this issue by adding some acoustic insulation within their home. What trouble the most are the findings of the Report that show that people are struggling with very serious health problems coming from the continuous exposure to noise. Namely, more than fifth of the respondents state that they have problems in relaxing within their home, third states that the external noise cases them to lose sleep during the night and stress and around 15% state that the noise causes them anxiety and stress.
