This generates induced airborne noise with little attenuation. As impact noise is a phenomenon with a lot of energy in all frequencies, it is difficult to attenuate. FENÓMENO ENERGÉTICO DEL IMPACTO MASS VELOCITY AREA Impulse strength (blow) Strength MAIN SOURCES OF IMPACT SOUND Percentage of complaints (%) 51 Time 12 9 Children jumping 6 Children running Adults walking 8 Objects falling Other Energy 21 Frequency (Hz) 7 Impact Sound insulation Solutions Consequences of Impact Sound Impact noise problems have increased in recent years, mainly because lighter construction techniques have replaced the heavier ones of the past. These more flexible buildings are more sensitive to conveying and resonating structural airborne noise. Impact noise in the building, can cause a lot of problems: On people’s health, altering the normal activity at home and their rest. Impulsive noise produces stress in, irritability, acceleration of the respiratory rhythm and muscular tension.With impulsive noise the probability of waking up increases, diminishing the quality of sleep. A well insulated space is crucial in order to avoid health problems. Of cohabitation between dwellings or with some place of excessively noisy activity. Some of the main conflicts between neighbours in the same community are due to the excess of structural airborne noise. 8 Impact Sound Solutions To avoid these undesirable phenomena in noise generation, elastic materials are used under floating slabs, floors or any type of floor finishing. The floating floor acts as a protector, so when some impact occurs, it vibrates but due to elastic support, only a very small proportion of this vibration is transmitted to the structural floor. It radiates much less noise on the lower or lateral enclosure than if the same impacts directly hit the structure. The energy absorbed by the material is transformed into low-level heat thanks to a high loss factor (η) and damping (static deflection). The most practical and economical alternativet to reduce impact sound noise is to intersperse elastic ma- terials between the forge and the floating floor system (wet or dry). A floating floor is the one insulated (decoupled) from the structural floor (forged), with elastic layers, leaving no rigid contact point between the floors. We have to take into account that in addition to vibrations transmitted to the receptor enclosure, the impacts can also generate air noise levels in the emitting enclosure when the elements are lightweight and low-cushioned. This is why a balanced solution which reduces the noise level in the receiver enclosure without increasing it in the emitting enclosure is to be achieved. 9 Impact Sound insulation Solutions 03 dBimpact Solutions The solutions for impact noise are classified into two groups depending on the location of the material in the floor system: - Below floor-finishing solutions: Underlays (UL) - Below Floating-Screed: Underscreed (US) What is dBimpact Underlay (UL)? dBimpact UL are materials based on low and high density polymers of different elastic, compressions and thermal properties to offer the best performance for each type of floor covering. The most elastic solutions have excellent acoustic properties both of impact sound and drum sound reduction (also called reflected wlaking sound). The hardest solutions are aimed at providing stability and dynamic stiffness to more flexibl floor finishing, which have less impact sound insulation problems. Therefore dBimpact UL have better compression properties than 10 other equivalent solutions and offer excellent durability and thermal properties. Advantages of the dBimpact UL solutions Excellent acoustic impact sound insulation (IS) Excellent reduction of reflected Walking Sound (RWS) Low water steam transmission Suitable for floor heating.

Its manufacturing process gives it greater elastic properties due to the encapsulated air between the non-pressed but calandered elastic particles. The elasticity of the binder together with the rubber particle itself provides higher insulation performance than similar materials under the concrete slab. Its mechanical properties (low dynamic stiffness and high compression resistance) allow to perform with great efficiency in a wide range of loads of concrete or dry slab.

For quick and easy installation, do the following: 1. Starting in a corner, extend the roll with the face of the moisture barrier downward, in contact with the concrete. Make sure that the flap is right on the wall. 3. Place the next piece of dBimpact UL on the overlap and link the two pieces with adhesive tape. Make sure the pieces of dBimpact UL are attached Proceed in the same way until the entire surface is covered. 4. Place the floor directly above the dBimpact surface by following the manufacturer’s instructions. 2. Cut the roll with a cutter or other cutting tool. Underscreed System (US) Before installing, ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and solid. 1. Verify the flatness and regularity of the surface of the concrete. The thickness of the floating screed will depend on it. 2. Disconnect the structural and perimeter joints with de-coupling bands. 3. Extend the roll with the textile side facing upwards and the part of the elastomer in contact with the concrete starting from a corner. Make sure that the edge of the roll is right on the wall. 4. Cut the roll with a cutter or other cutting tool. 5. Place the next piece of dBimpact US on the overlap and attach the two pieces with adhesive tape. Make sure the two pieces of dBimpact US are attached to. 6. Proceed in the same way until the entire surface is covered. 7. Place the plastic over the dBimpact by sealing the joints and ensuring there is no leak. 8. Apply the floating screed layer onto the plastic to the desired thickness. 35 Impact Sound insulation Solutions Outdoor floor systems over sub-ground (UE) Before installing, ensure the surface is firm and level. 5.
