acoustic treatment

Eliminating noise transmissions within residential buildings can only be achieved by building floating rooms.

These rooms are constructed without any contact with the original walls and ceiling. A parallel door and window will be constructed to each existing door and window to create double closure at each opening. Air conditioning should be free of any contact with other rooms and without air shafts. The downsides of this noise treatment are high cost and the loss of room space.

Partial solutions to noise leaks exist and they vary according to the volume of the noise and the room structure. Applying the following technics can achieve a significant noise reduction of leaks to lower levels of the permitted noise standard down to city regulations.

A correct appliance of these technics will downsize most noise hazards in most rooms to an acceptable level

Double doors and windows

For each existing door and window we will install a “twin” on the inner side of the lintel. The existing door and windows will be treated for air sealing at the closure points and the lintel. The additional acoustic  door and window will have precise closure, full material for the doors, and thick double glazed windows. The gap between double doors and windows will always be treated for absorption.

Noise isolation between rooms at residential buildings

As stated, maximum noise isolation can only be achieved by building “Floating rooms”. A partial solution is possible by sealing all air passages.
In the case of plaster walls, adding a damping membrane and two additional layers of plaster/plywood to the walls and ceiling can also improove isolation at the mid and high frequencies

 

null

Isolated air condition

Air conditioning in an isolated room should be independent and without shafts leading to any other room. To lower AC noise level within the room we will install an element that will change air flow direction and noise accordingly.
null

Floor noise isolation

To isolate the floor from the existing walls and the ceiling under it, we will construct one of two types of floating floors above the existing floor. Either a heavy type of floor, for low frequency incoming noise treatment or a lighter kind to deal with outgoing sound. The floor will be constructed above floor level and apart from the existing walls.
