Nowadays, noise is one of the most common forms of environmental pollution. Noise can be quite annoying - and not just at night when you want to sleep. Noise causes stress, especially within your own four walls, and noise can even make you ill. Anyone who has ever suffered from poor sound insulation or inadequate vibration isolation knows this.
Protection against noise or sound emissions is therefore an increasingly frequent issue. Old buildings in particular can sometimes be quite noisy, as the sound insulation is often inadequate due to the fabric of the building and the way it was built in the past. But the density of the buildings also plays a major role. The closer buildings are to each other, the higher the requirements for sound insulation or vibration isolation.
However, sound insulation and vibration isolation are not only used to protect people, but also machines and buildings. It may be necessary to install machines with vibration isolation to prevent damage. Vibration insulation of technical building systems or facing shells almost completely prevents their vibrational movement.
Attention is paid to the reduction of vibration and structure-borne noise transmission in almost all areas of technology. The fact that vibration isolation eliminates disruptive machine or ambient vibrations has been proven to increase precision and the quality of work in companies.
