The issue of noise is present in the lives of many Cameroonians and has various consequences. Discover who to turn to for your project.
What is noise or sound absorption?
Noise or sound absorption refers to the science of acoustics. It can be divided into:
– Acoustic isolation
– Acoustic treatment
Acoustic isolation focuses on problems such as noise coming from outside a room or noise that “escapes” from a room. This includes traffic noise, neighbor noise, or noise from a bar located nearby.
On the other hand, acoustic treatment deals with problems of noise coming from inside a room. This involves addressing issues like echoes and reverberations in a room in order to reduce background noise caused by poor acoustics.
What are the benefits of noise absorption?
Noise absorption offers many benefits such as:
– Maintaining good speech intelligibility
– Preserving health
– Maintaining good relations with neighbors
– Compliance with regulations
Poor acoustics can hinder speech intelligibility, especially in places like restaurants, open spaces, or event halls.
Noise has a significant impact on health and well-being, potentially causing stress or hearing problems.
Inadequate sound insulation can also lead to conflicts with neighbors. Compliance with noise regulations is important to address the social cost of noise.
What products enable noise absorption?
To achieve noise absorption, various products can be used for:
– Sound insulation
– Acoustic treatment
Sound insulation aims to prevent the transmission of external noise into a room and vice versa. This often involves working on the structure of walls, with the most common being a mass-spring-mass structure.
Acoustic treatment focuses on reducing echo in a room. This can be achieved using products like acoustic panels and acoustic furniture.
