topic:
Structural Acoustics
Structural acoustics is a field
of study that deals with the
interaction between sound
waves and structures. It
involves understanding how
sound propagates through
and interacts with solid
structures, such as buildings.
FUNDAMENTALS OF
NOISE CONTROL
Noise
All sounds that are
distracting, annoying,
or harmful to
everyday activities
Airborne Noise
sound transmitted through the air
only, usually through continuous
air paths, doors, windows, vents,
air shafts, etc. These pathways
are called Acoustical Short
Circuits.

MODULE 04: STRUCTURAL & OUTDOOR ACOUSTICS
Structure-borne Noise
radiated sound setting into
vibration of solid parts of the
building
STRUCTURAL METHODS TO
OVERCOME NOISE AND
VIBRATION
Walls
• suspend walls using resilient hangers,
clips, or mounts
• use multiple leaf lightweight
constructions
• use thicker, high density material
• use different material for multiple layers
• increase spacing of studs, stagger
placement, or eliminate studs altogether
Walls
• increase air space within walls
• introduce acoustical blankets into the air
space
• make use of perimeter caulking and other
sealants
• extend walls to floor slab above
• for adjacent dwellings, the partition wall should
consist of two separate layers extending from
the bottom of the foundation to the roof

MODULE 04: STRUCTURAL & OUTDOOR ACOUSTICS
Machinery
• isolate the machines from the foundation
• introduce air plenum chambers
• choose proper locations for machine rooms
Outdoor Acoustics
refers to the study and understanding
of how sound behaves in outdoor
environments. This field encompasses
various factors that affect sound
propagation, such as the terrain,
weather conditions, atmospheric
conditions, and the presence of
obstacles or reflecting surfaces.
