  2. Impact insulation class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_insulation_class

    Impact insulation class (or IIC) is an integer -number rating of how well a building floor attenuates impact sounds, such as footsteps. A larger number means more attenuation. The scale, like the decibel scale for sound, is logarithmic. The IIC is derived from ASTM method E989, which in turn uses a tapping machine specified in ASTM method E492. [1]

  3. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_transmission_class

    Sound Transmission Class (or STC) is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound. In the US, it is widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations. Outside the US, the ISO Sound Reduction Index (SRI) is used. The STC rating very roughly reflects the ...

  4. Sound reduction index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Reduction_Index

    Sound reduction index. The sound reduction index is used to measure the level of sound insulation provided by a structure such as a wall, window, door, or ventilator. It is defined in the series of international standards ISO 16283 (parts 1-3) and the older ISO 140 (parts 1-14), or the regional or national variants on these standards.

  5. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs. The forms are interlocking modular units that are dry-stacked (without mortar) and filled with ...

  6. Hempcrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hempcrete

    Hempcrete is a construction building material that uses hemp shives, aggregate, water, and a type of binder to act as non-bearing walls, insulators, finishing plasters, and blocks. The material has low mechanical properties and low thermal conductivity, making it ideal for insulation material.

  7. Cellulose insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_insulation

    Insulation reduces sound travelling through walls and between floor levels. Cellulose provides mass and damping. This reduces noise in two ways: it reduces the lateral vibration of sheetrock and attenuates the passage of sound along cavities. Cellulose is approximately three times denser than fiberglass, providing a slight improvement in sound ...
