Over 600 million people live in multifamily housing globally, accounting for 43.9 million U.S. households. The American Apartment Owners Association (AAOA) reports noise as the fourth most common complaint in multifamily housing. Our course, Stop the Stomp: Techniques for Building the Quiet Apartment Building, examines the causes of noise problems, offers acoustical performance requirements, and recommends practical building techniques to reduce noise in multifamily settings.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the characteristics of sound and the negative impacts noise has on occupants.
- Explore the viability of sound mitigation techniques and which ASTM standards govern acoustical design.
- Recognize the difference between room acoustics and building acoustics and which acoustical performance recommendations are appropriate for different types of spaces based on ASTM standards.
- Identify the appropriate mitigation solutions to implement the best acoustical design for multifamily projects.
