All Noise Control Baffles Installation Instructions

We have listed below some of the most common questions and their answers in hopes of providing basic knowledge related to noise, and noise control products and systems.

What is Noise?
Noise is defined as unwanted sound. Unwanted sound can be hazardous to your hearing or can be simply disturbing, interfering or annoying. Sound does not have to be loud to be unwanted.

ACOUSTICALLY ENHANCED SOUNDBREAK GYPSUM BOARD INSTALLATION

A. General: Install in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and GA-214.

Sound control can be an important element in some buildings or certain rooms within a building. To meet sound transmission specifications, All Noise Control Door Systems offers a wide range of acoustic doors. Our Acoustic Doors provide many options to choose from

Acoustics is the study of sound and how it behaves in various environments. Sound effects such as absorption, reflection, refraction or interference are also studied by acoustics. The broad acceptance of the term ‘acoustics’ refers to all the aspects of sound. Until not long ago, the notions ‘acoustics’ and ‘sound’ referred to waves and elastic vibrations that humans could hear. However, in the twentieth century, the development of technology and science has led to the broadening of the field of acoustics, in that it now comprises aspects not directly related to the hearing process, such as intensities and frequencies which are above or below the audible limits of humans.

Acoustics deals with the study of sound that is of mechanical waves in liquids, gases and solids. The term ‘acoustic’ comes from ancient Greek and it refers to the ability of being heard. Acoustics studies the sound from production and control, through transmission and to reception and effects. The initial studies focused on mechanical vibrations and their radiations through mechanical waves. These studies are still continuing in the present. Waves and sound involve physical processes, which, in their turn, have various aspects that researchers are trying to focus on at the moment.

A-C

Absorption
The properties of a material composition to convert sound energy into heat thereby reducing the amount of sound energy that can be reflected.

Acoustical
The properties of a material to absorb or reflect sound (adjective) acoustically, (adverb).

Sound is a form of energy that travels as a wave – when that wave hits a barrier as in a sheet of drywall, that barrier will vibrate and cause the air on the other side to vibrate, thus transferring the sound through the wall. There is no one-shot soundproofing technique that will stop noise in its tracks; rather we try to employ a combination of solutions to achieve solid performance.

Sound Barrier Ceiling Tile is a double duty soundproofing ceiling tile. It works for both lowering sound transmission as well as reducing reverberation.
These ceiling tiles are designed to be dropped into an existing ceiling grid system. When it is necessary to cut the tiles to fit existing openings, follow the following steps
