Floor insulation to reduce noise.

Stc sound transmission class stc is simply a numeric value defining how well a building or in this case a floor is at reducing the effect of airborne noise. The good news is that reducing sound transfer between floors is easier to do than you might think. A higher stc means the material is better at attenuating the everyday noise in rooms with wood and laminate floors. These are very good for blocking noise generated in the basement and keeping it from invading upstairs says a spokesperson for armstrong s residential ceilings.

Traditionally the job requires two 3 layers of acoustical fire batt insulation but now the job is quicker and easier than ever. There are three ways to reduce or prevent the sound transmission through walls at the time of construction. That means only one. Do you want to reduce the noise traveling from an upper floor to the room s below it or to reduce the noise entering a room from beneath through the floor.

Is the problem impact noise or airborne noise or both. Adding acoustic insulation to the floor will help to control sound transmission from airborne noise such as loud music and tvs along with impact noise which occurs when objects or people hit or move across the floor deciding on the right soundproofing material for your floor will depend on the structure of your home and whether you want to avoid noise getting in because of noisy neighbours.
