RAUPIANO PLUSSOUND INSULATION4.4.1 BasicsAir-borne noiseIn every area of building construction, especially the construction ofmulti-storey apartment blocks, hospitals and rehabilitation homes, soundinsulation plays an increasingly important role. One of the most significantsources of sound within buildings is the sanitation set-up and theaccompanying drainage water pipe system.Typical sources of sound include:- Fitting noises- Filling noises- Draining noises- Inlet noises- Impact noises- TurbulanceAir-borne noise is present if the noises of a sound source are transferreddirectly through the air to human ears.Structure-borne noiseWith structure-borne noise, the sound transfer first occurs through a solidbody. This body vibrates and passes the vibrations on to human ears asairborne noise.Unsuitable drainage pipe system and type of brackets are considerablecontributors to disturbing noise. RAUPIANO PLUS, a system-tested,versatile sound-insulating drainage water system, puts things right.Airborne noiseStructure-borne noiseA differentiation is made between air-borne noise and structure-bornenoise.Fig. 4-1Air-borne and structure-borne noise.23
