Home / Acoustics and noise / Building acoustics / Internal noise insulation
Good internal sound insulation between, for example, homes, office spaces, or examination rooms in hospitals is important to prevent mutual nuisance and disruption of concentration and to ensure sufficient privacy. Requirements for various situations are included in the Building Code.
The sound insulation of a structure is determined by its mass, construction, and degree of airtightness. Sound insulation is often critical, especially in buildings with lightweight building kits. Proper coordination between ceilings and walls is required to achieve an optimum balance between flexibility and sound insulation.
We can determine the expected sound insulation using calculation models developed in-house. Equally important is the testing of components to be used, for example by means of measurements. We have a certified laboratory for acoustics. Implementation support is of great importance for sound insulation that can be realized in practice.
The internal sound insulation of wall constructions can also be determined in practice using noise sources. With our measuring equipment, we can determine very high levels of sound insulation. For example, between catering establishments and adjacent homes or between halls in concert halls and theaters.
