Every Home Requires Peace and Quiet
Neighbourhood noise is an ever increasing problem especially for homes under flight paths and near busy traffic thoroughfares, not to mention barking dogs, car alarms and boisterous parties. With homeowners in mind, CSR has developed Exterior SoundControl Systems which dramatically reduce noise inside the home, ensuring families enjoy peace and quiet at any time of the day or night.
Exposure to Noise
Considering the decibel levels of common noise sources such as normal conversation or rain fall sit at 60dBA, it is not surprising that the sound of a truck or an electric drill is an uncomfortable 90-95dBA. Exposure to loud levels of noise for any period of time is not recommended, but it can take as little as one minute and 29 seconds exposed to 110dBA for your hearing to be affected permanently. Exposure to environmental noise has been linked to sleep deprivation, annoyance and health issues such as hypertension and heart disease.
CSR Exterior SoundControl Systems
The CSR Exterior SoundControl Systems reduce the penetration of noise into homes by combining special acoustic building products in tailor made packages. The products include:
- Gyprock Soundchek wall and ceilings;
- Bradford SoundScreen insulation and EnviroSeal roof sarking;
- Hebel powerpanel;
- Cemintel fibre cement sheeting;
- Monier and Wunderlich roof tiles;
- PGH bricks
- Trend windows;
- Raven door seals; and
- Hume doors.
“The CSR Exterior SoundControl concept is great news for new home builders, allowing them to achieve a good acoustic environment within their home,” says Peter Knowland, Principal at PKA Acoustic Consulting.
“The CSR Exterior SoundControl systems address the most common sources of noise intrusion that mar day-to-day living, providing easy, cost effective solutions to make everyone’s lifestyles that much more enjoyable,” he continued.
A System For Every Home
There are six SoundControl Systems available to suit every home for a range of exterior noise problems. By identifying the most relevant exterior noise threat near your home, and in turn the decibel level of the noise, the CSR team can advise which package is most suitable to achieve either a 35 or 40 dB(A) outcome within your home (please refer to attached diagrams).
All systems have been meticulously modelled and assessed by PKA Acoustic Consultants ensuring drastic noise reduction in the home.
