4 basic acoustic principles
• Mass (max. of 2 masses)
• Resilience & Decoupling (2 and more)
• Filling joist cavity (Phonic absorption)
• Sealing

Sounds can have different intensities and tones
Tone depends on frequency:Low pitch sounds = low frequencyHigh pitch sounds = high frequency
Increasing sound level vs. change in auditory perception
Increasing sound level Auditory perception
1 to 2 dB Not perceptible
+3 dB Barely perceptible
+5 dB Audible difference
+10 dB Sensation is doubled
+20 dB Sensation is quadrupled

Influence of lateral transmission (flanking)on AIIC final result
• Flanking can negatively influence the result by 4 to 10 dB and + ...
• How to mitigate flanking in wood-frame buildings:
1. Acoustic treatment of interior walls in contact with the structure
(acoustic insulation + resilient channel)
2. Interruption of structures continuity (wood and concrete topping)
3. Decoupling the floor covering and concrete topping
4. Decoupling the gypsum wallboards (drywall) and flooring
5. Decoupling the baseboards and quarter rounds

Acoustic membrane
The choice of membrane influences the result
• For greater acoustic performance, membrane must be installed as close to the point of impact (difference of 2 to 5 dB)
(First decoupling)
• Two types of membrane installations:– Floating
– Glued-down

• The presence of a concrete topping allows to multiply the quantity of resilient materials layers in the assembly (first mass)
- A membrane on top and underneath…
• The concrete type (light or standard) has little influence on the final result, but the mass weight plays a major impact

Resilient material
• It is important to isolate the concrete topping from the structure (second decoupling)
• Must be adapted according to the maximized efficiency load of the resilient material (compression)
• NOTE: The membrane quality and the application method can make a difference of up to 10 dB

Acoustic insulation
• For a better acoustic performance, the void must be at least 60% filled (ideally to 100%)
• Each 2’’ of insulation added increases the result by 1 dB(max. 10 dB)
• 1 gypsum = compacted acoustic insulation (more than 2.5 lbs)
• 2 gypsums = non-compacted acoustic insulation

Resilient channels and acoustic suspensions
• The addition of resilient channels (R/C) every 16’’ c/c rather than steel or wood furs will improve the assembly performance between 6 to 10 dB
• It is best to install the R/C every 24’’c/c rather than every 16’’ c/c (less contact points and a gain of 1 to 2 dB)
• The distance between the R/C is determined by the weight of the selectedgypsum (never surcharge the R/C) Maximum of two 5/8’’ gypsums « X » type
• Acoustic suspensions, compared to resilient channels, increase the performance of the assembly by 5 to 9 dB• The installation of acoustic suspensions is
one of the key components to obtain a FIIC of 62 and more…

• The apparent ceiling material becomes our second mass (one of
the acoustic basic principles)
• It is best to always maintain the integrity of this surface
• NOTE:– By doubling the gypsum boards, we improve the assembly performance
by 4 to 5 dB
– Two 5/8’’ boards (« X » type) are better than two 1/2’’ pannels (« X » type) (+2 dB)

Sealing
• The partition wall must be as air-tight as possible– «Where air is flowing, the sound is too»
• Seal the mechanical ducts in the partition wall and ceiling (plumbing, ventilation, fire system, etc.)
• Preserve the integrity of the partition ceiling (pay attention to flush-
mounted lightning, sprinkler heads, ventilation ducts, etc.)
• Significantly influences overall result (+ 10 dB)
