Dispelling the Myths of the Role Flooring Plays in Room Acoustics:Acoustics has become an ever increasing factor
in modern construction. Whether in healthcare,
education, residential housing, or any other industry,
acoustics plays an important role in nearly every
sector of the market. For example, there are
guidelines on how loud classrooms should be, how
much noise workers can be exposed to, and even the
level of privacy required in sensitive office spaces.
To accomplish these goals, numerous metrics and
standards have been created to assess various
acoustic characteristics of building components.
Unfortunately, there is now so much data available
that it can become confusing when trying to evaluate
the acoustic needs of a space. This is particularly
true when referring to flooring.
