What is Sound Insulation?
In parallel with the developing technology, noise problems may arise with the lightening of the structural elements. For this reason, knowing the behavior of the structural elements against the sound rays can prevent them from staying in expensive and difficult to compensate situations. The measures taken to reduce the amount of these sounds transmitted through the structural elements are called “Sound Insulation..
Unwanted and evoked uncomfort feeling sounds are called noise. Sound insulation; are used to protect the environment from the harmful effects of noise by isolating the living environment from unwanted sounds, to reduce the noise emitted from noisy areas and to create suitable usage conditions in places such as cinema and recording studio.
What happens if we do not have sound insulation?
Noise causes many health problems. Even if people have been proving noise over time, their harm will continue to increase. Moreover, hearing loss due to noise is not treated with medication or surgical intervention. Permanent hearing loss (health) occurs, especially in long-term exposure to high noise. In addition, the productivity of the employees in industrial plants such as the factory decreases and occupational accidents occur as a result of their distraction.
Where should sound insulation be made?
Sound insulation;
• In areas that need to be protected from the harmful effects of noise (houses, schools, hospitals, dormitories, hotels, work places, etc.)
• In areas where the noise they emit to the environment should be prevented (generator, booster, heater, entertainment places with high sound level, etc.)
• It should be used in sound-dependent areas (cinema, theater, concert and conference hall, TV and sound recording studio, etc.).
How is sound insulation done?
Sound insulation must be considered when planning the structure. In addition, materials with high sound insulation should be used when determining the elements such as walls, floors, ceilings, glass and chopping. The use of sound insulation material prevents the passage of lower and upper floor sounds and the noise passing through neighboring walls.
For insulating partition elements in the structure
• To increase the density of the structural elements.
• Double wall application.
• To apply double glass and laminated glass in glass areas.
• Use thick, heavy and gapless doors. Take precautions if not available.
• Sound leakage through ventilation ducts, pipes and the spaces around
What are the benefits of sound insulation for the country?
Noise constitutes an important problem as a dimension of environmental pollution in our age and causes many health problems whose cause cannot be determined at first. Sound insulation works and noise control, healthy and peaceful individuals, a clean environment, attention and work efficiency by increasing the prevention of occupational accidents is of great importance for both our country and our people.
