Architectural noise control topics affect buildings of all sizes. Common problems include improving privacy between two bedrooms in a single family home, keeping noise from commercial spaces out of residences in mixed-use buildings, isolating media rooms, reducing highway or rail line noise, and minimizing noise from mechanical sources that range from appliances to multimega-watt cogen plants. While specific treatments may vary with the scale of the project, the principles remain the same. These principles are to seal the space as well as possible; increase the sound blocking ability of walls, floors, and ceilings; and provide vibration isolation to reduce structureborne noise.
Soundown's TuffMass is a specially developed, mass-loaded vinyl (MLV) product offering superior acoustic transmission loss combined with good damping properties. Available in surface densities of 1/2, 1, 1.5, and 2lbs/ft2, TuffMass is suitable for use in all types of construction and offers STC ratings up to 32. Soundown Vibration Damping Tiles are an easily applied damping layer for stopping reverberant "ringing" vibration in heavy plate constructions. Structural damping material consumes vibrational energy and transforms it into heat before it can build up and radiate as sound.
