The factors which influence noise levels in buildings are diverse and often difficult to predict. But to underestimate their importance can seriously prejudice the desired acoustic environment for a building’s occupants and neighbours.
This Building Technology File (BTF) deals with the thorough assessment needed at the planning stage of all potential noise sources and propagation paths, followed by appropriate construction and acoustic treatments. Any oversight could require expensive remedies and generate noise complaints from occupants, or even render the building useless for its intended purpose.
