Structure-borne sound insulation
Structure-borne sound insulation
While the construction materials of machines and buildings such as cast iron, steel and concrete are good conductors of sound and are therefore described as sound-reflecting in analogy to the material consistency, rubber, on the other hand, conducts sound poorly and is very well suited as a softer material for structure-borne sound insulation. The damping effect for structure-borne sound waves is due to their partial reflection at the interface of the materials and only a part of them penetrates the intermediate layer.
