Additional acoustics content

Product Benefits

Sound insulation of ceilings is measured using Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC). Ceilings should be used for sound absorption and not for blocking sound between rooms. High-insulating wall products, as measured by Sound Transmission Class (STC), should be used to for blocking noise at an STC 45 or higher.

Product Benefits

Background Sound Acoustics

Background white noise, such as the ambient sounds generated by HVAC systems, computers and outside traffic, should be considered as part of the building design. Sound masking systems may be needed to comply with acoustic standards’ noise level requirements.
