Soundproofing for a Single-Family Home

The Challenge

A private individual contacted the team at Acoustic Force requesting an expert assessment regarding soundproofing against impact noise between two floors in a newly built wooden single-family home. The family complained of an impulsive, disturbing noise between the first and second floors, caused by normal foot traffic. Our team took on the investigation of the issue and provided a professional recommendation based on an objective evaluation, which was made possible through a thorough on-site inspection and specialized measurements.

Our Solution

The first step in developing the soundproofing plan for the single-family home was an on-site visit. Thanks to the thorough inspection and specialized measurements, our team was able to assess the soundproofing of the existing floor. We determined that, due to structural reasons, the wooden beams and slabs were rigidly connected, allowing every footstep to transmit as structural noise throughout the entire house. Following this finding, we conducted professional calculations and measurements, which formed the basis for our recommendation to implement soundproofing a soundproofing system based on a detailed design. This detail consisted of an elastic rubber underlay, ChovAPREN, combined with carpet flooring.

 

Our services go beyond project design to include full implementation. This encompasses the delivery and installation of the proposed materials and systems, supervised by experts, along with monitoring the final results. We submitted a price proposal for the delivery and installation of the system. The client agreed to the terms, and we completed the project within three working days. We prioritized high-quality execution combined with reasonable pricing. To achieve this, we selected the best materials, and our professionals carried out the installation flawlessly.

The Execution

At the end of every project we carry out final measurements to record the results achieved, and this project was no exception. After installing the proposed system, we recorded a large drop in the noise from footsteps, running and moving furniture. The difference in impact sound level before and after installation (ΔL′n), measured on site, is more than 30 dB. We also found that the system carries all furniture loads and effectively reduces structural loads. With this we successfully completed another challenging project, which we are proud to add to our extensive portfolio of successes.
