Building near a flight path creates noise issues in all types of buildings. Sound isolation roof assemblies and interior wall and ceiling isolation can reduce the noise to unnoticeable levels. Of course, sound control windows will also be required as part of the building system.
Roof Systems - See Model RIM for floated concrete or Model FC channel system for floated concrete roofs.
Ceilings suspended from concrete deck can use any of the following models depending on allowable ceiling drop and low-frequency isolation requirements. Note: Springs outperform pads as ceiling isolators for attenuating low-frequency sound.
Walls - The Model IsoMax single stud wall design can meet requirements by boosting the STC to 57-65 depending on the thickness of the drywall. The IsoMax system is also an excellent way to finish a masonry wall with furring-mounted gypsum wallboard on the isolation clips. The combination of grout-filled masonry and sound-isolated gypsum board on one side produces a high-performance wall across a broad frequency range.
