I recently came across this article written by Richard Rives Bird and Christopher Huston of Rives Audio. It is very well written and worth a read.

This is a very appropriate saying with regard to sound isolation. We are often asked questions like: "What can I do to this wall to stop the sound going through to the bedroom on the other side?" It's almost incomprehensible to people that the wall may not be (and probably isn't) the only part that is leaking sound to that bedroom. The other parts might well be the floor, the ceiling joists and other shared walls. You could make changes and increase the STC (Sound Transmission Coefficient) dramatically for that wall, but the result might be marginal because the majority of the sound is getting through elsewhere.(more)

AlphaPerf Metal Wall Panels are a modular unit consisting of a metal or aluminum frame surrounding a perforated metal or aluminum skin, with encapsulated acoustical fiberglass sound absorber. The perforated metal allows sound waves to enter the absorbing material where a portion is transformed from sound energy to heat.

AlphaPerf™ Metal Wall Panels are used primarily as sound absorbers in potentially noisy environments such as gymnasiums, swimming pools, pump rooms, and industrial fabrication work areas. They also are suitable for finished wall panels in offices and conference rooms.

I got a call yesterday from my customer Clark Construction in Chicago. I had sold them some Enkasonic Floor Underlayment earlier in the month. Apparently they used this to place underneath a rooftop HVAC unit to alleviate structural vibration and a water drainage problem. Now the water can flow under the unit and the vibrations have stopped. Now that's thinking outside the box!

Noise has been an environmental issue throughout the ages. Ancient Romans complained about chariots rattling on cobble stone roadways. Renaissance metal smiths often lost their hearing due to continuous and excessive noise. Noise has been called "the natural by-product of expanding human technology." In other words, disagreeable sounds are mostly the fruits of our own creation. Automotive and truck traffic, airplanes, generators, air conditioning units, dishwashers, car alarms and trains are common sounds often described as noise.(more)
