Abstract
In the competitive world of residential development, developers are striving to construct residential buildings that will be more desirable to occupants by providing a diverse range of amenity spaces, such as a bowling alley. Understandably, noise concerns from the addition of bowling alleys in residential buildings were raised during the design stage of various projects. To address the issues, a jack-up floating floor system was proposed for the bowling alley to mitigate the noise impact from the pin setting machine, initial ball impact on the bowling alley lanes, rolling on the lanes, and ball impact with the pins. Apparent Impact insulation class (AIIC) and heel drop testing were completed at various stages during the floating floor construction to confirm the impact sound isolation performance of the floating floor system. Testing results concluded that the implemented floating floor system reduced impact noise significantly and satisfactory sound levels resulted in the closest occupied spaces.
