Question 10

What types of noise does acoustic underlay control in apartments?

Accepted Answer

Two main types of noise. High-frequency stuff like music, voices, and TV -- that's controlled by the mass of the floor system. Low-frequency vibrations like footfall and subwoofers -- that's where acoustic underlays and isolation come in. Sound is measured in decibels, and most people notice a 3dB change. A professional floor sander installs flooring systems that meet building acoustic requirements.
