Abstract
Although Burbank, California has long been touted as the "Media Capital of the World", there is certainly an argument to be made that New York City is the true Media hub. Broadcasting companies are expanding their footprint building new studios, and non-media companies are expanding to include in-house broadcasting capabilities. Unfortunately, while broadcast studios, recording booths, and production spaces typically require very low noise levels, New York City is also known for its boisterous hustle and bustle. We will review a case study involving Live Broadcast Studios and product spaces being constructed at a sub-cellar level adjacent to the New York City MTA Subway tunnel. Several studies were conducted prior to construction to determine the appropriate whole building and structural isolation measures for the project. Simulations were then used to demonstrate expected noise levels to the client to inform decision making. Given the project cost and expectations, additional measurements are being taken through construction to confirm and track reduced vibration and noise levels.
