ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ operates an advanced architectural acoustics testing laboratory to provide accurate sound transmission and sound absorption data that help achieve excellent acoustics and sound isolation in buildings.
As environmental noise pollution increases with airport or highway noise, road construction or noise in apartment and condo living, the acoustic properties of buildings have become critical to their ability to perform their function. Knowledge of the acoustic absorption levels of architectural materials and the behavior of sound reverberation before construction can be vital.
We provide laboratory acoustics testing to rate the effectiveness of a material to attenuate or absorb sound. Methods we apply include Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), Sound Absorption Average (SAA), Sound Transmission Class (STC), and Outdoor/Indoor Transmission Class (OITC). Field testing can be conducted to measure the airborne sound attenuation between rooms in buildings and impact sound transmission through floor-ceiling assemblies.
