Buying a house is a major life event, and there are many factors that need to be considered comprehensively, such as property price, location, supporting facilities, property and transportation. When buying a house, don't just focus on the price and location. There is another important factor that cannot be ignored. Whether the living environment is quiet or not has a bearing on the quality of your future living. For example, if you buy a house on the roadside, the traffic will be honking all night long.
Choose carefully the houses in the first row on the roadside
In front of the house is a straight and spacious road, with convenient transportation and full of modern urban flavor. This is the attraction of the houses on the roadside, but it is also One problem that inevitably arises is loud noise. Residents living along these roads also suffer from noise. It is understood that the main source of roadside noise is the roar of passing vehicles, and these roars are generated from a certain amount of traffic flow.
Some roadside houses may be hundreds of meters away from the road, while the closest ones are only about 10 meters or even closer. Many roads have two-way four or six lanes, with many passing vehicles and fast speeds. It is inevitable that such houses will be affected by the noise of passing vehicles.
When choosing a house on the roadside, try not to choose the first row, because the houses in the first row are undoubtedly the most directly affected by car horns and tire noise. There is also a lot of dust. It is also located on the side of the road. If it is in the second row or even further back, with the first row blocking it, the noise will be significantly reduced.
When selling a house, the salesperson may explain that in order to avoid the impact of noise, the developer has chosen high-grade double-layer insulating glass for doors and windows to protect the owner's life from noise. Regardless of whether the so-called "double-layer insulating glass" is genuine, you must know that no matter how good the doors and windows are, there are gaps, and it is absolutely impossible to completely avoid the impact of noise. Besides, do we have to keep the doors and windows closed all day long at home? Therefore, when buying a roadside house, in addition to enjoying the convenience of transportation, you must also fully consider the noise factor.
Find a house with a park, and practice dancing every morning and night. How comfortable this life would be; find a house with a large shopping mall nearby and convenient transportation, so you don’t have to worry about commuting to get off work and shopping every day. Life is so comfortable; if you find a house with a degree from a well-known school, your child will not only be able to attend a good school, but will also hardly need to be picked up or dropped off from school. Parents will feel at ease and save effort. However, judging from the current situation, these houses are likely to be found only in downtown areas, which are also places with the largest number of noise sources.
Squares, supermarkets, schools, commercial streets... these supporting facilities not only facilitate citizens' lives, but also inevitably create noise. The older aunts in the square often bring loud speakers to play dance music when they dance. The sound of supermarket promotions and the sound of horns in the parking lot are uninterrupted during the day. The school starts using loudspeakers to broadcast gymnastics at 7 a.m., and there are also loudspeakers during the time when children go to and from school. A large number of parents pick up and drop off, and the sound of car motors and sirens is constant. Not only do shops often play promotional slogans in the commercial street, but all kinds of rock music are enough to bore people who want to be quiet.
Therefore, whether you are buying a first-hand or second-hand house in a downtown area, you must take into account the possible noise impact while appreciating the various convenient supporting facilities in the surrounding area.
You must be mentally prepared to buy early-stage products of a project
Pre-stage products of a large project are often welcomed by home buyers because of their favorable prices and large appreciation potential. However, one disadvantage of such a house is that after moving in, it is easy to find constant noise. The noise mainly comes from the construction noise of the late-stage products of the project. Some projects that are eager to rush to work may start work overnight, which affects the sleep and rest of the owners of early-stage projects. In addition, the previous owners were also susceptible to the noise caused by the renovation because they moved in earlier. Therefore, when purchasing products in the early stages of a large project, you should be mentally prepared in this regard.
In the past two years, part of the noise complaints complained by citizens have been about the noise impact at the project site. It is understood that many large-scale projects have appeared in Qingyuan in the past two years, with the total development area reaching millions of square meters and the development cycle taking 5-10 years. The owners of the first units of some projects have already moved in, but the construction of later projects has just begun. The construction noise generated can easily affect the early owners.
Therefore, when buying a house, try to buy those that have been developed. If you must purchase early-stage products, it is best to consider units that are far away from the later-stage land, so that the impact of noise in the future will not be too direct.
Inspect and carefully select “noisy rooms” at different times
Noise is invisible and intangible. Many people may not pay attention to the conditions around the house when looking at the house, and end up stepping on many Dark thunder. Whether buying a first-hand house or a second-hand house, it is important to examine the house carefully when viewing the house. When looking at a house, it is best not to just look at it once or twice, but to conduct multiple and multi-faceted inspections to make people feel at ease.
To investigate the noise problem, the investigation should be carried out during working hours during the day, during rest time, and at night. Also run around the house to see if there are shopping malls, cars, schools, factories, squares, etc. In addition, it is best not to limit the time for inspecting the house to one or two days, but to go there every ten or eight days, because some shopping malls like to use loudspeakers for promotions on weekends, and the noise in some squares is only very noisy on weekends, and even sometimes Only at the end of the year will "speaker marketing" appear on the streets. Therefore, if conditions permit, the longer the time span of the investigation, the better.
Prevent and control noise through appropriate decoration methods
If you have bought a noisy house, you can also reduce noise pollution through some decoration methods. The most basic and common one is to install two layers of glass, but the effect of this modification is not as perfect as imagined. Relevant decoration experts said that noise can be reduced through decoration and renovation, making people feel relatively quiet indoors.
During the renovation period, you can add a layer of gypsum board to the wall facing the street, fill the space between the wall and the gypsum board with sound-absorbing cotton, and then paste wallpaper on the gypsum board or paint the wall. Topcoat. In addition, if the walls are too smooth, echoes will easily occur in the room, thereby increasing the volume of noise. Experts recommend using decorative materials with better sound-absorbing effects such as wallpaper, or using some stone and other decorative materials to roughen the wall surface to reduce noise.
In addition to renovations in decoration, experts believe that interior decoration can also effectively reduce the spread of noise. The use of fabrics in decoration is a common and effective method. In addition, lay carpets, whose soft touch not only makes people feel comfortable and warm, but also eliminates the sound of footsteps and is conducive to rest. In order to ensure that people have a quiet rest in the bedroom, you can choose thick curtains and curtain fabrics to strictly control light and external noise.
