Acoustical / Sound Reduction

Sound transmission refers to the way sound waves travels through different materials and environments. When sound waves encounter an object, they can either pass through it, bounce off it or be absorbed by it. The amount of sound that is transmitted through an object or material depends on its physical properties, such as density and thickness. In building construction, sound transmission is an important consideration for creating a comfortable work environment, especially in places where privacy matters. Sound transmission reduction materials like insulation can help reduce the amount of sound that is transmitted through walls, ceilings and floors.

Noise reduction is the process of reducing unwanted or excessive noise in a particular environment. This can be done with the help of insulation. In the workplace, noise reduction is an important consideration for protecting employees’ hearing and creating a more comfortable working environment, sometimes ear plugs are not enough. By understanding how sound travels and how noise can be reduced we can create a more comfortable and safe environment for living, working and communicating.
