Acoustic doors
Acoustic control within buildings using acoustic doors can be
a complex area traditionally involving either specialist
consultants or a purely subjective approach. However, higher
density living and the growth in noise sources today have
increased awareness and driven measures to reduce problems
resulting from noise pollution. In particular, Part E of the
Building Regulations 2003 now includes quantifiable acoustic
performance levels to ensure reasonable conditions in a wider
range of residential buildings. Although not regulated, the best
approach to non-residential building types should also be
reconsidered along similar lines.
The effects of acoustic privacy and nuisance noise are
subjective and influenced by background noise within the room,
distance from sound source and general context, amongst others.
When considering walls containing acoustic doors, the combined
performance of both elements may be relevant: with the
proportion of door to wall being particularly important.
