Airborne Noise transmission into the building Options for noise reduction
INCREASE MASS OF PARTITION Small incremental returns Doubling of mass results in only 6dB reduction USE DOUBLE WALL PARTITIONS Can significantly reduce transmission if designed properly Walls should have mismatched thickness (different resonance, coincidence frequencies) Walls should be isolated from each other (resilient suspension and ties) Intervening cavity should be at least 100mm and have acoustical absorber Other flanking paths must be controlled (leaks, structure-borne) TREAT EXISTING PARTITION WITH MASS LAYER Pseudo-double wall apply limp barrier with foam substrate Foam acts as separator, limp barrier has high mass and low stiffness

Airborne Noise transmission into the building Options for noise reduction
REDUCE TRANSMISSION THROUGH LEAKS Reduce transmission through gaps and leaks in landing doors and machine room doors REDUCE NOISE BUILDUP IN SOURCE ROOM Reduce source levels even further while this is ideally the best solution, this may be unachievable beyond a certain point Use sound absorbing foam to reduce noise in source room or put a barrier on the wall on the source side this is clearly a last option

Ideal location for rail bracket attachment to building would be at the floor levels since energy cannot excite flexural modes of walls and floor
Rail lengths may not match floor to floor spacing

Elevator Vibro-Acoustic Interfaces to the Building Some sources of variation we need to worry about
Variation in construction methods worldwide
Steel frame, brick and mortar, concrete and masonry Partition design: drywall, concrete, cinder block, double wall
Variations on apartment side finish, furnishings (affect absorption) Variation in actual building geometry against drawings e.g. door frame geometry, location of any interface points prepared by General Contractor Variation in interface hardness, plumbness Presence of flanking paths via ductwork, poorly isolated partitions
