Tips For Creating A Calmer Home Environment

Disruptive sounds can occur in any environment and wreak havoc on your sense of peace. Noise pollution is any unwanted sound that negatively influences living things’ physical and emotional health, leading to stress, poor sleep and hearing impairment.

Noise pollution in cities can involve high traffic, construction or just the inherent din associated with larger populations. Even the sound of everyday electronics makes it harder to create a relaxing environment — no matter where you live. The effects of noise pollution on humans are frustrating but addressable. Make your home a sanctuary from the commotion with these 10 tips for creating a calmer environment.

1. Change Up Your Home’s Layout

If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution to sound pollution effects, consider changing your home’s layout. Your furniture’s placement can impact the amount of racket that enters your home. Place large items — like bookshelves — against walls to absorb noises.

Rooms meant for focused work — such as offices — or places that encourage relaxation — like the bedroom — should ideally be further away from noisier areas, like the kitchen or living room. Adding thicker rugs, curtains, pillows and furniture is another easy way to enhance your home’s sense of quiet. Thick, soft fabric can do wonders for absorbing noise.

2. Turn Off Appliances 

Standard electronic appliances — like televisions, gaming systems and computers — can subtly add to your home’s noise pollution level. Even though electronic sounds can become routine, you’d be surprised what shutting them off can do for your sense of quiet.

3. Shut Out Noisy Machines

When the dishwasher or washing machine is running, try shutting the door. It’s a simple solution, but a barrier between you and the noise source can help restore a sense of quiet.

4. Address Outdoor Noises With Your Community

If outdoor noise affects your ability to create a peaceful home environment, it may also impact your neighbors. Higher exposure to loud sounds in early adolescence can affect a child’s mental well-being, and this could be a community issue if you live in a family neighborhood. Address construction or traffic noise pollution by brainstorming solutions or contacting local authorities.

If your neighbors are disrupting your calm with noisy activities, try talking it through to come to a mutual agreement. Maybe it’s a matter of asking them to switch the time of day they mow their lawn.

5. Use Noise-Canceling Technology

From white noise machines to ambient sound apps, technology can help you create a peaceful home in many ways. If you’re looking for a solution that goes wherever you go, try noise-canceling headphones or even a pair of quality earplugs.

6. Implement Smart Home Systems

Take noise-canceling technology a step further by implementing smart home systems. You can get windows that automatically close when sound reaches a specific volume or soundproof blinds that easily close with the push of a button.

7. Incorporate Natural Sound Barriers

Incorporating natural elements is a great way to beautify your environment while reducing noise pollution. Plant trees and hedges around your home since vegetation naturally blocks sound and benefits the environment. Water features — like fountains or waterfalls — are perfect for replacing disruptive din with soothing sounds.

8. Enhance Your Doors And Windows

Doors and windows tend to be gateways to outside sound. Upgrade them to mitigate the impact of noise pollution. You can invest in new, soundproofing doors and windows or enhance your existing ones. Double or triple glazing insulates your home from sound. Weatherstripping and door sweeps are common ways to seal gaps to reduce din and protect your house from extreme weather.

9. Add Extra Insulation To Your Walls or Roof

Like doors and windows, walls and roofs are also prone to letting in noise. You can add extra insulation to your walls with materials like acoustic foam or mineral wool that absorb sound. Studies link transportation noise to higher chances of cardiovascular issues, so if you live near an airport or traffic-heavy area, additional roof insulation may help your heart health.

10. Create A Dedicated Quiet Space 

Dedicate a room or alcove of your home to quiet activities, like reading or meditation. Use any of the tips — like adding softer furniture or turning off appliances — to make this space a sanctuary for calm. Incorporate time into your daily routine to rest and recharge in your quiet room.

Say Hello To Peace And Quiet 

Take charge of your surroundings by reducing noise pollution. Whether you opt for home projects like upgrading your windows, doors or roof or you choose to practice simple steps like turning off electronics and closing the door to noisy machines, these tips will help you on your way to rest and relaxation.
