| Noise reduction in buildings is an extensive and complex
field which requires the planner's knowledge. |
|
|
At this point we recommend the brochure of the Timber
Information Service: "Timber Construction Manual Series 3, Part
3, Section 3" |
|
|
or the Swiss Lignum:
"
IP Timber 933 d : Sound insulation of intermediate floors made from timber".
|
|
|
The following examples of constructions with the associated
sound insulation values have also been taken from the Lignum brochure
mentioned. (The associated boundary conditions should be taken from the
source!) |
