Sound attenuation with laminated safety glass.
In densely populated areas, noise is almost omnipresent: from traffic on the road, on rail and overhead in the air. Noise is also caused by production plants and construction on buildings and bridges. Even music from radios and concert halls or blaring television sets can often be annoying and even cause illness. It is only when we take a walk in the mountains or through a peaceful forest on the weekend or on holiday that we notice just how much we are normally exposed to noise.
ALL NOISE DISTURBS OUR CONCENTRATION and is capable of disrupting our sleep and causing tension and stress. Two similar sounds, even at the same volume, can be perceived differently. For example, the rushing of a waterfall can be just as loud as the noise of a passing car, yet for many people the former is soothing, while the latter is usually a nuisance. In general, it is important to reduce noise as much as possible. In the case of heavy traffic on roads or railway lines, a noise barrier can help, while ear plugs can be a useful remedy in crowded areas and on busy roads. Since people spend most of their time in buildings, these have to be given extra protection from loud noise. Thick walls of stone, brick, concrete or wood provide good protection
from noise. Thin partitions like doors, windows or glass façades are much less effective. The decibel (dB) is the unit of measurement that expresses the intensity of noise. 0 dB means absolutely silence, and each successive increase by 10 dB doubles the volume.
