How walls and ceilings resist sound in multi-residential buildings

With noise levels on the rise in Australian cities, it is more important than ever to prioritise acoustics in residential design. This issue is especially pressing in multi-residential buildings, where densely packed units increase both external and internal noise. Walls and ceilings play a key role in managing sound, serving as the main barriers that separate living spaces, both within individual units and between neighbouring apartments.

How walls and ceilings resist sound in multi-residential buildings examines the challenges and solutions for achieving effective acoustics in multi-residential buildings, with a focus on how walls and ceilings can resist sound transmission between units. Walls and ceilings resist sound through sound absorption, insulation, and isolation, using materials and construction techniques that block, absorb, and prevent noise from travelling between spaces.

Gyprock has developed a broad range of acoustic systems to help specifiers and builders meet acoustic requirements with confidence. A range of Gyprock's acoustic products are also suitable for use in areas where enhanced acoustic performance will improve the experience of the space. To maximise acoustic performance, these products can be used in conjunction with the Rondo QUIET STUD® Acoustic Wall System and the Rondo KEY-LOCK® Concealed Suspended Ceiling System combined with Rondo Resilient Acoustic Mounts.
