I, as an insulation contractor, get calls all the time for sound control issues in offices and homes. When I show up with A decibel meter, signal generator, and powered speaker, they look all confused. "we just want you to blow insulation in the walls" they say. Then I have to explain that no amount of cellulose, fiberglass or Mineral wool in the wall can stop the noise from an industrial manufacturing facility into the management's office area especially when they used an "acoustical" ceiling tile for their ceiling which is open to the manufacturing area. The story goes on, but you get the picture. Dennis, I am glad for all the understanding I have gotten from you and your videos to help explain things in an educated way. Have a great day!

I owe you the thank you for pointing out a real world example on how BTU retention materials are not sound barrier technologies. I hope some are listening. Boy, do I hope.

I find that spraying the choir with a water bottle usually gets them to pipe down.

That sounds like an inexpensive volume control. I will add that option to our church design package.

The walls are going up in basement. The studs between utility room with HVAC, water treatment and such and family room and listening room are up. The electrical and plumbing going in. Then the sheet rock will be up. Then they will install furnace, central air, etc. Then it's too late to be able to do anything else with that side of wall. Should we put up OSB or MDF under sheet rock? If I wait to measure the noise from utility room, it's trying to get the horses out if the barn after it's burned down.

We do not use sheetrock in our projects. I can not assist you with a project with such a brief description of your issues. Fill out the information in this link and lets take a look at the complete project. www.acousticfields.com/free-room-analysis/

Hi Dennis. Thanks for your videos. I like them. I was thinking of reverbation in the listeningroom. I look at it as signal to noice, and that we have early reflexions (up to 20ms or so), reverb (up to 50ms) and after that eco. Often rooms have a lot of unwanted reverbenergy as you know. I would like to have your opinion on looking at it lika signal to noice. And at what level of reverbenergy for frequency/level/time is desird. That is what is to mutch and when is it to mutch absobtion if it can be to mutch?

It is signal to noise depending on usage. A two channel room where the balance between direct and reflected energy especially from the sidewalls is critical.

Are you filling each cavity with carbon pellets floor to ceiling?
@AcousticFields3 жыл бұрын
The amount of carbon, where you place it, and how deep it goes within the stud space must all be calculated.
