Progress does not stand still - this is known to everyone, even to a small child. A person learns, thinks up, creates, so that later another person picks up and completes, breathes new life and begins to study again. The circle is continuous and incredibly large, because people, in fact, for so much time of their existence have stepped from a sharpened stone to technologies close to artificial intelligence. Everything develops, everything moves forward, and this is the best ability of our brain - development.
However, it also occurs that humanity, looking exclusively upwards, does not notice obvious things under its feet. In fact, the grass does not prevent us from walking on the ground until we stumble and fall. The ant is not visible to our eye until it gets under the clothes and bites. And the noise of water in the pipes is not noticeable until it becomes so loud that it wakes up at night.
Where does noise and its influence come from?
Water from the tap or sewage passing through the sewer pipes touches the walls and makes a loud sound that can be heard at decent distances due to the fact that collisions with the walls lead to the oscillation of the entire sewer system as a whole. According to research (Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Department of Acoustics of the Faculty of Physics was closely concerned with this issue), the noise of sewer pipes significantly affects the condition of people: both moral and physical. The permissible noise level in rooms where people have been staying for a long time reaches 30 decibels, but this result is practically unattainable even in the absolutely correct design of the sewer system.
Undoubtedly, there are various methods of sound insulation, thought over for years, and even centuries. The man, having learned to build houses and apartments, continued, continues and will continue to improve them.
Ways to reduce noise
Firstly, if the sewer system is mounted from standard materials, then various soundproofing means can be used during installation - in particular, pipes are wrapped with all kinds of materials that absorb sound. They use a lot - from foam rubber ("grandfather's method") to the material that is used to warm the walls of houses. However, this method is very costly and very unreliable: insulation is expensive, in addition, when installing such a system, the master will have to be much more careful, since it takes up more space than the standard one.
Secondly, you can completely get rid of fluctuations in the system using special thick-walled pipes with mineral additives. Vibration would be completely extinguished, but such pipes are very expensive. Therefore, for the majority of the population, such costs are simply unacceptable, especially since the manufacturer most often is silent about the durability of such products.
Thirdly, there are special mounts that securely fix the entire system, but they also cost quite a lot, plus everything - they require a certain specialist to install them. The slightest inaccuracy during installation can lead to the collapse of the entire sewer.
Returning to the topic of progress, it is worth noting that most - if not all useful inventions and their improvements have been developed in connection with one main task - saving resources. The manufacturer always wants to spend a little, and earn a lot. The environment requires the use of the least toxic materials for production. The buyer directly declares that he would like to spend a smaller amount for the best quality. This is where the market stands, it drives progress and civilization as a whole.
And a little more about prolipropylene
Sound-absorbing sewage used to be used mainly in hotels, hotels, rest houses, boarding houses and other places where people need peace and quiet. Unfortunately, before such systems were not affordable for ordinary houses, but now there are many companies on the Internet offering this product at an affordable price. They are based on special noise suppression layers, usually polypropylene reinforced with minerals. For the convenience and simplicity of work, the masters of the company producing these pipes make special fastenings and other components for them. In general, it is much more reliable and cheaper than prefabricated systems. In addition, this system in terms of shelf life exceeds all previous ones, which undoubtedly puts it one notch.
Calmness is an indicator of quality of life. In silence, the most brilliant ideas are most often born, the brightest thoughts come and the greatest things are done. Silence and calm are the guarantee of spiritual harmony, which leads to real bliss. And a person’s house is a place that a priori should be a refuge where he feels protection, peace and inspiration. And all this cannot and should not be overshadowed by extraneous noise loading a person’s head.
Sound-absorbing sewage in its simplicity and convenience is another small step towards great creations, even more functional and useful inventions and the development of humanity as a whole.
