Impact Noise Insulation

Intrusive noise from neighbouring dwellings affects at least 2.3 million households in the UK, many of those in multiple occupancy dwellings. In some cases the noise many only be a minor irritant, affecting the occupants quality of life, but in more severe cases the disruption from intrusive noise can cause sleep loss, stress and physical illness Building Regulations recognise the effects of intrusive sound and require walls and floors to provide reasonable resistance to the transmission of airborne and impact sound between dwellings and some adjoining rooms within dwellings.
