Noise Control Solutions: Resilient Sound Isolation Clips
This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.
Within building spaces, noise can be reduced by using materials or assemblies that mitigate the transmission or isolate the sound. To do this it is important to understand how sound moves through building materials and partitions and the impact of sound mitigation products. In this course we look at the basics of sound, techniques, and products to prevent sound transmission.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Define sound, its behavior, and how it is quantified.
- Define sound transmission class and impact insulation class and determine the code requirements for sound transmission criteria.
- Predict airborne and structureborne noise paths and select appropriate sound isolation details to disrupt these paths.
- Identify sound isolation techniques, materials, and products.
- Recognize the role of resilient sound isolation clips in sound attenuation and specify appropriate locations for their use.
