Sound insulation properties of materials and methods used in civil engineering

Abstract

The issue of sound insulation in enclosing structures continues to be extremely prevalent in both newly constructed and exploited buildings. Standard fencing solutions frequently employ contemporary wall materials without the additional sound insulation that is required. This study investigates the materials applied to soundproofing in various residential buildings and evaluates the extent to which they assist in reducing noise levels indoors. The research suggests measurement techniques to assess how effectively certain building materials and architectural layouts perform in terms of acoustics when used during the construction. The results of the study expand knowledge of noise absorption materials used in the context of urban development and provide recommendations for construction regulations and architectural designs to improve living environments while minimizing noise-related complaints.
