Now You Can!

It is now possible to soundproof rooms in your home at the mere flick of a switch thanks to advances in soundproofing technology.

The innovative new solution for people who may need peace and quiet at certain times of the day involves the use of elastic tubing that is built into a wall and controlled by remote control. The new technology could see a variety of uses, not least in the bedroom where people who are light sleepers could benefit.

While having a completely soundproofed room 100% of the time may not be practical, having the ability to let sound in during the day and then prevent noise during the night could catch on in a big way. It would come in particularly handy for people who live in busy cities where noise is a factor 24 hours a day.

Being able to switch on sound proofing is also useful if you want more privacy in the bedroom or if you don’t want your neighbours listening to what you watch on TV. The new material works by interfering with sound waves as it is stretched and squashed. When the sound proofing is switched off, sound is allowed to pass through the tubes. When it is turned on the openings are closed to prevent sound passing through.
