Noisy neighbors are possibly one of the biggest fears of anyone who moves into a new apartment, and that is parties, loud music at odd hours, infernal alarms, dogs that won’t stop barking or even couples or families that just They know how to talk loudly and it can make being in your house more stressful than peaceful.
The worst thing about all this is that you can’t do much to combat it, since the most effective measure is to go up and talk to them and ask them to please try not to make so much noise, to lower the music or whatever they do, and pray. so that they pay attention to you, but it is very possible that after a week they will have forgotten and they will go back to their old ways.
Little by little, attempts have been made to provide solutions to these “victims” of noisy neighbors, but very few have been effective. Now a young Australian woman has presented hers as part of the 20 best projects of the 2024 edition of the prestigious James Dyson Awards.
Student Sze Yek has developed some acoustic panels called Sorbet that stand out for absorbing soundin addition to being very easy to install. Designed and cCompounds from shredded household textile waste This is an innovative and ingenious proposal to put an end to annoying noises from neighbors, while at the same time providing a solution for this type of waste.
The best of all is that this It is a sustainable alternative that unlike other solutions that have been presented before, it is very easy to recycler. And in the end this panel consists of rold cloth, sofa covers or any other textile material that is no longer usedbut when you crush them you give them a second life by creating these panels by gluing each garment with starch-based adhesive.
As a final result, there are panels with a size 450 millimeters long and wide, and with a thickness that varies between 18 and 28 millimeters. Another notable feature of Sorbet panels is that they are resistant to water and humidity, which makes them durable and reliable in different environments.
Although the best thing about this invention may be how easy it is to install, since you only have toe stick them to the wall using an adhesive or three fixing screws. Although acoustic panels are not something really new to improve the acoustic insulation of walls, this young woman’s ones stand out because they solve at the same time helping to give a second life to many materials, which is crucial for the environment.
