Kinetics® Noise ControlProviding solutions to common noise and vibration problems since 1958.

Kinetics®

compositeconstructionreduces soundtransmissionThe ProblemNoise and vibration are majorsources of occupant complaint inmodern buildings. Floors, walls,and ceilings reduce noise ac-cording to the Mass Law, whichstates that doubling of buildingweight will reduce the transmis-sion of sound by up to 6 decibels(dB). Example: a 4" concrete floorhas a sound transmission loss(TL) of 42 dB at 250 Hz. Doublingof the floor to 8" only increasesthe TL to 48 dB. A 6 dB reductionis about 25% quieter.

The SolutionBy introducing Kinetics® compos-ite construction systems, onecan achieve substantially highersound transmission loss. Kinet-ics® Floating Floors, IsolatedCeilings, Isolated Partitions, andComposite Barrier Materials allfar exceed the Mass Law capa-bility and provide greater airborneand structureborne noise control.(See diagram comparisons.)

Sound Design andConstruction PracticeThe following items should beconsidered in order to achieve fullbenefit from Kinetics products.

1) An acoustical consultantshould be retained wheneverpossible. Their knowledge of asystems overall expected acous-tical performance and the criticaldetails that make a building de-sign work will better assure suc-cess.

2) Holes or any openings throughpartitions, ceilings, or floorsshould be caulked or sealed.Sound leaks of any kind will sig-nificantly reduce the effectivenessof the noise isolation barrier.

3) Doors and windows in the par-titions should exhibit high STCratings to maintain high perfor-mance.

4) Electric outlets thru-the-wallcabinets, etc., should not beplaced back-to-back in order toprevent potential excessive trans-mission of noise.

5) Masonry walls should be plas-tered or sealed with a hard coat-ing.

6) Acoustical treatment and ab-sorptive finishes may be used innoisy rooms to reduce the rever-beration and overall noise levelwithin these rooms.

7) All floating floors, partitions,and ceilings should be con-structed with care. Constructionerrors such as rigid ties, fastenershort-circuiting, improper floor re-inforcing, etc., can create a soundflanking conduit and should beavoided. Supervision by a repre-sentative of the isolation mate-rial manufacturer can minimizefield errors.

Kinetics® Sound Rated Floors

Kinetics Type SR Floorboard is the premier underlayment for control ofimpact noise in condominiums, apartments, multifamily dwellings,commercial buildings, and other areas where footfall and impact noisecan be the cause of complaints.

Type SR Floorboard is a unique 5/8" thick underlayment material whichsubstantially reduces sound transmission through hard surface floor

systems. Ratings of IIC (Impact Insulation Class) 50 to 65 have been achieved in typical applications, compared withIIC-25 to 34 with conventional construction. Where a preference for hard surface floors such as ceramic tile, marble,hardwood flooring or vinyl tile make impact noise an issue, SR Floorboard is recommended. Call for details.

Model Soundmatt Low profile underlayment for Sound Control

Kinetics Soundmatt is a floor underlayment used to control sound transmission of both impact and airborne noise infloor systems. Soundmatt is a 5/16" (8 mm) thick underlayment used to substantially improve IIC (impact) and STCnoise ratings while minimizing the elevation change.

Impact noise can be intrusive to occupants in spaces below. Construction that calls for hard floor surfaces such ashardwood flooring, ceramic tile, quarry tile, marble, wood parquet and vinyl tile are all areas where impact noise is ofconcern. Without a floor underlayment, intrusive impact noise can be objectionable.Please contact Kinetics for specifications.

Certified:Soundmatt and SR Floorboard have been tested with the Tile Council of America, Inc., using method ASTM-C627. Bothsystems achieved a Residential rating or greater for durability under load.

Kinetics Noise Control and GERB Vibration Control Systems U.S.A., Inc. formed a partnership in 2001 toaddress vibration isolation and structural noise control in building construction. Expansion of the DallasConvention Center, completed in 2002, required the building addition to be isolated from noise and vibrationgenerated from freight and commuter trains passing on tracks below. Kinetics/GERB engineered and pro-duced spring and pad isolators to meet stringent requirements outlined in the specification.

Kinetics’ new ATLAS pad offers exceptional load capacity and vibration control in a natural rubber or neoprenemount. Visit our web sites to learn more about the products Kinetics Noise Control (www.kineticsnoise.com)and GERB Vibration Control Systems, Inc. (www.gerb.com) offer for building isolation.
