Sound Isolation controls the transfer of noise between adjacent spaces. It is most commonly used for projects where critical spaces are located near noise sources. For instance, if you have a conference room next to an elevator you need the sound isolation requirements to insure that the elevator noise does not intrude onto the conference room activities.

Another example is in multi-family housing where the transfer of noise between apartments or condominiums needs to be controlled.

Successful sound isolation cannot be obtained by just applying materials to the surface of the walls. The actual construction methods are critical. At Thorburn Associates we provide Sound Isolation Design Services in the following areas:

• Review of Project Requirements and Development of Sound Isolation Criteria
