Acoustical Testing- Click Here for Project Form

Today's growing concern about the affect of sound on human performance is leading t increased regulation.  Consequently, accurate acoustical performance measurement is critical for certification of building products and materials.  Sound control on the interior of buildings is also becoming more of a factor in building design for office buildings, manufacturing facilities, and multi-family housing.

Acoustical performance of building products, components, and systems is an important consideration for engineers, architects, and building owners,  This is especially true in highly populated cities,; the demand for efficient noise reducing building products in these areas is on the rise.

Fenestration Testing Laboratory uses recognized methods for testing:

Sound Absorption- Measures a material's ability to control reflected sound and reduce noise levels, control reverberation, and improve listening environments.  Sound absorption is measured either in a reverberation room acoustic chamber for large objects wall panels, fenestration products, insulation, foam, or building materials.

Sound Transmission- The measured reduction in noise level after sound passes through a material.  This measure is used to rate the effectiveness of a material to attenuate sound.  These measurements either alone or in combination used to rate fenestration products and materials for comparing or modifying to meet sound specifications or requirements.
