Sound Insulation Testing
Create Comfortable Living and Working Spaces
Sound insulation testing is essential for minimizing noise transmission between rooms and adjacent properties. Our services comply with Approved Document E of the Building Regulations and are required for new builds, conversions, and certain refurbishments.
Types of Sound Tests
Airborne Sound Testing
Measures noise passing through walls and floors (e.g., voices, music).
Impact Sound Testing
Assesses noise caused by footsteps and other physical impacts on floors.
How is Sound Testing Conducted?
Airborne Tests
A loudspeaker generates noise in one room while sound levels are measured in adjacent rooms.
Impact Tests
A tapping machine is used on floors to evaluate sound transmission to rooms below.
Ensuring Compliance
Proper insulation materials, construction techniques, and sealing methods are essential to pass the test. If a building fails, we provide remedial measures such as additional insulation or improved sealing.
