Sound Insulation testing – Barn Conversion in Braintree

THE BRIEF

  • To pass an Airborne test for conversion properties you must score 43db or higher 
  • Airborne tests measure the difference in sound levels between the receiver room and neighbouring walls or floors
  • If the sound output in the receiver room is 100db and the sound leakage being passed through into the neighbouring room is 40db, then the result would be 60 and therefore would be a pass

THE PROCESS

  • After our technicians calculated the areas of the property, testing was ready to be carried out. All calibrated equipment was setup in accordance to our strict procedures to ensure the most accurate result possible.
