Hi everyone my name is Richard nice to meet you all . I'm wondering how miners are able to reduce noise or what can be done about it ? I live in a terraced house my wife and two kids, both are in their own bedrooms but you can hear the neighbor's at times through the upstairs walls when its quiet during the day . Any help would be appreciated
Having difficulty understanding your question. Is it the neighbors that are making the noise? Or is it your own mining rig that's making the noise?
Depends on whether you rent or own, whether they are considerate or not and what your relationship is with them. I'd probably start by downloading some acoustic software to measure what your baseline is. Your budget will determine what you can do. Hard barriers with multi-density layers - closer to the source work best. Sound travels many paths and their floors, walls and ceilings act like amplifiers if not insulated. I'd prolly gift them isolators for the feet of the shelves that hold their rigs, that will help a lot with sub frequency vibrations. Heavy landscaping pavers with a rubber pad separating them from the floor is a lower cost solution. On either side, another layer of drywall 5/8" while using acoustic insulating "chauk" is the first layer. This is after filling the wall cavities with denser cellulose insulation. The second 5/8" drywall layer is offset from the wall with special metal channels, one can use standard metal studs but the special channels have less of a profile. Every fastener also needs attention of whether it will be a path for vibrations to travel. Silicone helps to change the composite material density and helps reduce the sound path. To finish on your side would be heavy drapes. You could also just get a pink noise generator or a water fountain to mask what comes through as a low cost option. In a past life, I've also done sound insulation work to minimize a dance studio's music from their neighbors noise complaints. I'm pretty sensitive to sound so all the above are steps I've had to take to create a more peaceful environment.
For a moment there I thought you were talking about TA noise. Sorry, can't help ya there. I am pretty sure he meant he can hear his neighbours which means it's vice versa. The way he sentenced it "was" a bit confusing.
