Acoustic Checklist

WHAT IS INVOLVED ?

The test is carried out between a pair of rooms separated by a party wall or floor. It involves setting up a noise source in the room on one side of the party wall or floor and measuring this noise on the other side of the partition. We will require simultaneous access to both sides of the wall or floor.

REQUIRED SITE CONDITIONS

Quiet conditions will be required, with no work at all near the rooms in question. Staff should be informed of the noise test programme and be prepared to leave punctually as required. External noisy activity within control of the site manager should be stopped. A.T Solutions should also be informed of any other noisy activity likely to be occurring on the test day e.g. road works. The tests are likely to last several hours, depending on the number of tests involved.

Windows are complete with locks in place and closable.

Window trickle vents are in place or temporarily blocked up for testing.

Room and front doors are in place and closable.

Power, TV/satellite, telephone sockets etc. on party wall are in place if appropriate.
