Introduction to Soundproofing, Course
101
This introductory course explores basic soundproofing
principles, as well as how to soundproof walls, ceilings, studio control
rooms; various soundproofing materials are also described.
The Basics of Noise, Course
102 (future)
Identify the problem; how the weakest link makes the noise.
Decibels and noise volumes; STC and why it is accurate. Types of noise identified (airborne, vibration).
Noise absorption vs. stopping noise.
The Basics of Stopping Noise, Course 103 (future)
More on STC (detailed definition); more on the weakest link.
Three ways to stop noise: mass, space, decoupling(several ways to do this); STC numbers do
NOT always add up; low frequencies can still be a problem.
Solving Noise Problems, Course 104 (future)
Identifying the weak links:
1) Open doors, windows or gaping holes
2) Windows
3) Doors
4) Walls
5) Ceilings and floors
Explanation of the basics of all five problem areas; identify how bad a problem
you have and how much you need
to do to reduce noise. Most builders, contractors, window manufacturers,
and realtors do not know how to solve the problem (every problem fixed with
the newest whatever, etc.).
Basic Soundproofing Solutions, Course 105 (future)
Basic materials usage and definition.
