Noise in house

John · 2005-03-09T17:59:49+00:00

A friend is getting quite desperate to move house because of traffic noise in the house. It is a really nice brick and stone built house but could do with some work to improve the situation - new door, etc.Before embarking on spending money and finding it does not have the desired effect, is it possible to have some sort of objective survey done?Any ideas?

.....our DIYing caber maker is at it again....totally wrong as usual......sad but true.

MI6 in Mayfair had tripel glazed windows all around so that they did not vibrate from the sound in the room. This could be detected by playing a beam on the window from ouside. BTW, no one was supposed to know where the building was at the time. Well me being me, I would know.

So you think something that stops noise transmission one way won't in the other? Or are you finally admitting that ordinary *double* glazing is poor at sound insulation? You do know voices are a type of sound?

Hint. Try looking at houses round Heathrow, etc.

Of course when you find that triple glazing of a suitable design is both good at heat and sound insulation you'll move on to recommending triple 'combi's'. Shudder.
