Résumé

Experience indicates that the most disturbing of intrusive sounds in apartment dwellings are voices, either live or by way of radio or television. Closely related are other airborne sounds including music reproduced on radio, TV or stereo. Next on the list are impact sounds including slamming of doors and footsteps on the floor adjacent or above. Finally there are mechanical or plumbing noises. All of these need consideration, but only the first topic, insulation against airborne sounds, is considered here.
