Abstract
Sound isolation addresses transmission between adjacent spaces as well as non-adjacent spaces, related horizontally and vertically, interior/interior and interior/exterior, through flanking paths and weak links and crosstalk, via both airborne and structure borne “paths.” Isolation can be characterized using single-number descriptors, such as Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Impact Insulation Class (IIC), but there are important limitations and caveats. Isolation and methods for improvement are all often misunderstood and misused, especially with an ocean of misinformation and confusion to navigate on the web and elsewhere. This presentation is intended to offer practical, helpful guidance from a consultant’s perspective, with focus on fundamentals and simplicity, toward better overall understanding and effective interactions with colleagues and clients.
