Abstract

Recently, the light materials have been applied in order to reduce the cost of construction. Since its soundproofing is generally poor, it presented a new problem of noise pollution for office building during our noise control projects. Based on “Acoustics - Specifications for the Design of Sound Insulation in Civilian Structure” (GBJ118-88)and taken an office and meeting room for examples in a building, the good soundproofing material was selected and researched and its performance met the noise requirement of various rooms through compared with performance of soundproofing for various wall material. As a result, the noise of office and meeting room reduced from 67.2 dB (A) and 57.3dB(A) to below 55dB(A) and 50dB(A) separately.
