INTRODUCTIO
N
⚫ Noise is unwanted sound that disrupts the
environment, causing disturbance,
discomfort, or harm to humans, animals.
NOISE CONTROL
•Noisecontrol is a set of strategies to
reduce noise pollution or to reduce
impact , whether outdoors or indoors.
SOURCE OF NOISE IN
BUILDINGS
•There are four types of noise in buildings
1. External noise
2. Internal noise
3. Impact noise
4. Airborne noise
EXTERNAL NOISE INTERNAL NOISE
Traffic, construction, and Noise generated within a
aircraft noise can building can come from
penetrate buildings various sources such as

through windows, walls, footsteps, furniture


movement, appliances,
and other openings.

These sounds can disrupt
activities. These sounds can
work, sleep, and travel through walls,
relaxation. ceilings, and floors, affecting
adjacent spaces.
AIRBORNE NOISE IMPACT NOISE

Airborne noise travels through This type of noise arises


the air and can penetrate from impacts, such as
buildings through various footsteps, dropped objects,
openings, including windows, and furniture dragging,
doors, and ventilation systems. transmitting through

operation.
NOISE FORMATION

⚫ Principle of hearing: conversion of physical


disturbances in to electrical potentials which brain
can sense
⚫ Listerner’s ear recieve sound directly and
indirectly( i.e reflection from several surfaces).
NOISE AND
HEALTH
Regular exposure to noise
may include various
physical and psychological
heath consequences
including:
▪ Hearing Impairment
▪ Tinnitus
▪ Hypertension
▪ Ischemic heart disease
▪ Annoyance
▪ Sleep disturbances
▪ Harm to Immune System
▪ increased blood pressure
WAYS TO
CONTROL
● The ways to control noise in building are-

1.Architectural Design

2.Acoustic Treatment

3.Noise Reduction Materials

4.Standards and Guidelines


Architectural Design
•Architectural design plays a crucial role in
controlling noise levels within buildings.

•Careful orientation and layout of the building can


minimize exposure to external noise sources.

•For instance, positioning noisy areas such as


mechanical rooms away from sensitive spaces
like offices or residential areas can significantly
reduce noise disturbance.
Acoustic Treatment
•Acoustic treatment refers to the
application of materials, designs, and
technologies to control and enhance
the acoustic properties of a space.

•Effective treatment reduces


reverberation, echo, and noise levels,
improving sound clarity and speech
intelligibility.
Noise Reduction Materials
•Noise reduction materials are specifically designed
to absorb, dissipate, or block sound waves,
minimizing noise levels and improving acoustic
comfort.

•These materials can be categorized into absorptive,


dampening, barrier, and insulating types.

•Absorptive materials, such as acoustic foam and


mineral wool, effectively reduce reverberation time.
Standards and Guidelines
•Standards and guidelines for noise control
ensure effective acoustic performance and
compliance with regulations. Key organizations
setting these standards include ASTM, ISO, ANSI,
ASHRAE, and NSF.
•For noise control, key standards and guidelines
include:
1. ASTM C423: Sound Absorption
2. ASTM E90: Sound Transmission
3. ISO 3382: Acoustics Measurement
4. ISO 11654: Sound Absorption
5. ANSI S1.18: Sound Absorption
6. ASHRAE 88: Sound Control
7. NSF 36: Sound Control
ROOM
ACOUSTICS
ROOM ACOUSTICS
□ We receive direct
and reflected sound in a
room.
□ Unwanted background
noise is due to high level
of reflected sound in poor
acoustical rooms.
□ To achieve acceptable
acoustic characteristics
various points are taken
into considerations like:
1.location and extent of
sound absorbing
materials
2. reduction of
reverberation and
speech interference
3.Shape of room(for
libraries)

CONCLUSIO
N
• Noise is becoming a very big problem day to day
it is degrading our health and ecological balance
as well. And one cannot remain untouched with
this aspect of day to day issue.
• By introducing noise control in buildings we can
create a less noisy residential and other
constructions. As sound travels directly and
throughs reflections, so to improve sound quality
reflections should be minimized.
