Restoring STC through Proper Firestopping
Issued by
Specified Technologies Inc.
In this course, we explain the fundamental nature of sound and how it travels as an energized wave through objects. We discuss the differences between lab and field sound transmission testing, how compartment-to-compartment air leakage plays a critical role in sound transmission and how proper firestopping effectively solves fire and sound requirements. We finish by covering what types of materials and applications are most effective in reducing sound transmission.
