You can see our video about this topic at: Sound Isolation Video. Sound Isolation Projects Noise Engineers regularly works on sound isolation projects. Generally, it involves reducing the noise between spaces or from the exterior to interior. Usually, we need to test and/or predict the noise passing between spaces. Exterior to Interior Sound Isolation In…
Noise Engineers is working with Davy Architecture on the acoustics for the remodel of the Emerson Bandini Elementary School located in San Diego, California. The primary acoustical issues being addressed are: mechanical noise, sound isolation, impact insulation, and room acoustics.
When evaluating a site for compliance with the HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) guidelines, there are generally two steps. Predict the noise levels outside the proposed building If necessary, predict the interior noise level and insure the components (windows, walls, roof, doors) provide interior noise levels below the required DNL 45…
Here are 10 tips to improve the Sound Transmission Class (STC) between rooms. STC is described below the tips.
Sound isolation is a common acoustical concern. There are two main ways sound is transmitted from one space to another – airborne and structure-borne. Airborne noise sources transmit noise through the air which causes the wall or floor/ceiling to vibrate, the vibration is transmitted and causes sound on the other side. Airborne noise sources include:…
