Sound Transmission Loss (TL) IMPROVEMENT FROM INCREASING WEIGHT

The figure below shows the Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings for 3-in-thick dense concrete (12 lb/ft2 per

inch of thickness) and for three successive doubled thicknesses of 6 in, 12 in, and 24 in.

Weight ( lb/ft2 ) : 36 72 144 288

STC Rating: 42 46 51 58

STC comparison with 12" solid concrete wall:

Wood 2x4 / Gypsum with 16 oz Acoustiblok = 52 (Riverbank Labs)

Mass law follows the law of diminishing returns. As shown by the above data, the STC of a homogeneous construction increases about 5 for each doubling of weight. However, it is the initial doubling that provides the most practical improvement. Each successive doubling produces proportionally less STC (or TL) improvement per unit weight and a greater increase in cost per unit STC (or TL) increase. Consequently, complex constructions are required when it is necessary to achieve high STCs and TL improvements, especially at low frequencies.

EFFECT OF STIFFNESS ON TL The sound isolation efficiency of materials depends on stiffness as well as mass. For example, the graph below shows TL performance for two plywood layers of equivalent total weight. According to the mass law, the TL performance should be the same. However, the grooved, less stiff layer has much higher TL performance, especially at mid- and high frequencies.

As shown by the above graph, the coincidence dip can be greater than 15 dB for stiff materials. This significant difference in TL is caused by the altered response to bending waves, which are excited by the impinging sound energy. Bending waves are similar to the wave motion in a rope shaken at one end. The exaggerated sketch below shows bending-wave coincidence for a wall.

To achieve high TL performance, use double-wall constructions with wide separation between layers, light-gauge metal studs instead of wood studs, or metal channels to "resiliently" support gypsum board layers. These elements, if properly installed, can reduce the stiffness of a barrier. The ideal sound-isolating construction would be heavy, limp, and airtight! (Acoustiblok is "heavy, flexible, and airtight"!)

Transmission Loss (TL) FOR SINGLE WALLS

The graph below shows transmission loss performance based on equal surface weight for several materials. The curve describing TL performance for most single (or homogeneous) walls consists of three basic parts: the low frequency mass-controlled region at about 6 dB per octave slope; the plateau region of relatively constant TL which depends on bending stiffness and internal damping of the material; and the critical frequency (and mass controlled) region above the plateau, usually at 10 dB per octave slope. Consequently, high-frequency hissing or whistling sounds can be isolated by a material which allows low-frequency rumbling sounds to be easily transmitted.

The stiffer a wall, the lower the plateau height, meaning the poorer the sound-isolating performance Conversely, the limper a material, the higher the plateau height and the better the sound-isolating performance. As shown by the curves, lead has the highest plateau height and the best sound-isolating performance on an equivalent weight basis. The more damping a wall has (i.e. energy loss from internal friction), the narrower the plateau width, resulting in better sound-isolating performance. Notice that plywood and lead have far narrower plateau widths than steel. When plywood is struck, it "thuds" because of its internal damping. When steel is struck, it "rings" because it has far less internal damping. For example, sheet metal air-conditioning ducts are poor isolators of sound and, as a consequence, often must be enclosed by gypsum board when they pass through noisy areas (see Chap. 5). The TL at 500 Hz of homogeneous materials can be estimated by the formula: TL = 20 + 20 log G , where TL = transmission loss at 500 Hz (dB), and G = surface density ( lb/ft

2 )

Surface densities for common building materials are: brick at 10 lb/ft

2 per inch of thickness, concrete block at 6 to

12 lb/ft2 per inch, plywood at 3 lb/ft

2 per inch, and plaster at 9 lb/ft

2 per inch.

Acoustiblok, at 1.1 lbs/ft

2, does far better than any of the above,

including (unusable) lead.

CARPET ON WOOD

HARDWOOD TILE ON CONCRETE

Floor/ceiling construction presents special challenges for noise control: Impact noise is a major factor, and as load bearing surfaces, floors can not be floated or isolated with an air gap without using costly exotic materials and techniques. Acoustiblok sound barrier material, in conjunction with Acoustipad or Acoustiwool underlayments, are the core components for cost effective solutions that meet code requirements and architectural specifications while using conventional construction design and installation methods.

IIC, Impact Insulation Class, is a standardized measurement of a floor/ceiling assembly's capacity to block impact noise (footsteps, dropped objects, etc.). STC, Sound Transmission Class, is a measurement of a partition's ability to block airborne sound (speech, music, etc.). The higher the IIC or STC value, the more noise is blocked. Minimum IIC and STC values are often called out in architectural specifications, and in some cases are required to meet code or public policy requirements.

TILE ON CONCRETE HARDWOOD ON PAN FLOOR

Acoustiblok enables designers to meet demanding IIC and STC specifications while using conventional construction materials and techniques, reducing both design and construction costs. All IIC and STC values cited by Acoustiblok Inc. are from independent acoustical laboratory test results. To obtain results comparable to tested values, it is necessary to conform closely to the configuration detailed in the applicable test reports, and use good practices to control penetrations and flanking noise paths. Acoustiblok is UL Classified for commercial, institutional, and residential use in all L500 series floor/ceiling designs per the UL Fire Resistance Catalog. Contact Acoustiblok for independent laboratory test reports, technical and application support for design & installation.

Installation and Accessories Price List

Acoustiblok® is a uniquely formulated material and few adhesives or tapes will maintain a bond on it:

AC foil tape, duct tape, most silicone and other adhesives will lose their bond, unfortunately sometimes after the drywall is up jeopardizing the results of your sound treatment installation. Acoustiblok Acoustical Sound Sealant, Acoustigrip

™ tape, and Acoustiputty

™ sealant pads have been specifically

formulated and tested to work with the Acoustiblok Sound Isolation Material. Our independent acoustical test results have been performed using Acoustiblok sealant products, using other products may affect the sound reduction properties of your Acoustiblok treatment.

ACOUSTIGRIP™ TAPE

Acoustigrip tape (2” x 180’, 2 .0 mil thick) is specifically formulated to work with the Acoustiblok Sound Isolation Material and permanently bond to the most demanding surfaces. U.L. recognized and CSA accepted. NOTE: A.C. foil, duct and other tapes may not remain bonded to Acoustiblok® long term. Don’t jeopardize the sound reduction results of your installation - use only proven Acoustiblok products!

ACOUSTIBLOK ACOUSTICAL SOUND SEALANT

Sound reduction installations require as airtight of a seal possible. Provides excellent sealing properties and decouples adjacent surfaces, helping to minimize structural sound transmission. Very flexible and maintains its flexibility over time. Specifically formulated to work with the Acoustiblok Sound Isolation Material.
