Sound Insulation Testing
Sound Insulation Testing, as required under Building Regulations Part E in the UK, assesses the ability of a building's elements (such as walls and floors) to reduce sound transmission between adjoining dwellings. This is crucial for ensuring privacy and comfort in residential buildings.
The Building Regulations specify minimum performance standards for both airborne and impact sound insulation. For example, new builds typically need to achieve at least 45 dB for airborne sound insulation and 62 dB for impact sound insulation in floors.
The type and number of tests is dependant upon the type of attached dwellings being tested, whether they are flats, semi-detached or terraced homes.

Building Regulations Approved Document E
The requirement for noise is outlined in the Building Regulations Approved Document E, which governs sound insulation testing in buildings. Part E provides guidance on the resistance to sound transmission within and between domestic premises. For residential developments, it's essential to sound test walls and floors between adjoining dwellings to ensure they do not exceed acceptable noise transmission levels.
