Airborne sound insulation (sound insulation)

Detailed Description:
Sound insulation refers to the prevention of the propagation of airborne or structure-borne sound by reflecting the propagating sound at individual points of discontinuity. Sound insulation forms the basis of building acoustics and is characterized by the sound insulation index R in dB, which indicates how little sound enters the neighboring room.
