Get Me Some Quiet! Reducing Sound Transmission Between Rooms

Sound transmission between walls is becoming a major challenge for building owners, residents, and tenants. Poor sound transmission mitigation results in lost revenue, poor health, decreased property values and litigation. This presentation will focus on: the impact of sound transmission; why it is becoming an increasingly important issue; the nature of sound, how it travels between walls; comprehensive methods of wall; ceiling and floor construction and how they impact sound transmission; and methods for post-construction sound mitigation that will allow a tenant to address sound transmission within typical lease agreements. It will include a comprehensive review of available materials and construction methods available to mitigate sound transmission.
