Noise Control Solutions for Multi-Family Residential Applications Webinar

Vibra-Sonic Control

Understand how noise travels in multi-family buildings and how to control it with proper acoustic design.

This 1 hour course reviews the dynamics of sound, how sound travels through buildings, and the architectural techniques used to control airborne, structure-borne, and flanking noise transmission in multi-family buildings. Demand has increased for noise control in multi-family construction, driven by consumer demands and stricter enforcement of existing codes. Residential noise control is a key component of design, because it affects occupant privacy and well-being.Upon completion of the presentation, there will be additional time allowed for questions.This course is approved for 1 Core LU with the Architectural Institute of BC and 1 Structured learning hour with The Alberta Association of Architects.Learning Objectives:<ul><li>What sound is and how it is transmitted</li><li>The importance of noise control and building code requirements</li><li>Proper acoustic design for walls and floor-ceiling assemblies</li><li>Different types of underlayments and the benefits of using acoustic rubber underlayments</li></ul>Important Points:<ul><li>Residential noise control is a key component of design because it affects occupant privacy and well-being</li><li>Three types of sound that need to be addressed in acoustic design are airborne, structure-borne, and flanking sound transmission</li><li>Sound ratings include STC, IIC, and Delta IIC</li><li>The International Building Code (IBC) specifies a minimum architectural design standard of 50 IIC and 50 STC for floor-ceiling and wall assemblies</li><li>The four main noise control methods used to reduce noise in multi-family dwellings include absorbing sound, increasing mass, damping and decoupling</li><li>Acoustical rubber underlayments are amond the most versatile and resilient underlayment products available</li><li>Specialty acoustic underlayments have been engineered for specific types of floorings</li></ul>
