✦ Synopsis
Although there is a reasonable volume of literature dealing with the reduction of structure-borne noise from fresh water pipes connected to walls in dwellings and other occupied buildings, there is little practical design information for the prediction of these noise levels, especially when plumbing is attached directly to light timber-framed walls with plasterboard linings. As part of an applied research programme on noise from fresh and waste water pipework in domestic and commercial buildings in New Zealand, the noise levels from various appliances were measured and an empirical method was developed for predicting the sound levels in a typical room that result from the attachment of fresh water pipework directly to a light timber-framed wall.
