2 Kinetics Noise Control Providing solutions to common noise and vibration problems since Kinetics composite construction reduces sound transmission The Problem Noise and vibration are major sources of occupant complaint in modern buildings. Floors, walls, and ceilings reduce noise according to the Mass Law, which states that doubling of building weight will reduce the transmission of sound by up to 6 decibels (db). Example: a 4" concrete floor has a sound transmission loss (TL) of 42 db at 250 Hz. Doubling of the floor to 8" only increases the TL to 48 db. A 6 db reduction is about 25% quieter. The Solution By introducing Kinetics composite construction systems, one can achieve substantially higher sound transmission loss. Kinetics Floating Floors, Isolated Ceilings, Isolated Partitions, and Composite Barrier Materials all far exceed the Mass Law capability and provide greater airborne and structureborne noise control. (See diagram comparisons.) Certification Kinetics Noise Control provides certified engineering drawings upon request for its products to assure compliance with job specifications. Copies of independent test reports on specific systems are available to architects, engineers, and acoustical consultants upon request.

Their knowledge of a systems overall expected acoustical performance and the critical details that make a building design work will better assure success. 2) Holes or any openings through partitions, ceilings, or floors should be caulked or sealed. Sound leaks of any kind will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the noise isolation barrier. 3) Doors and windows in the partitions should exhibit high STC ratings to maintain high performance. 4) Electric outlets thru-the-wall cabinets, etc., should not be placed back-to-back in order to prevent potential excessive transmission of noise. Sound Control Walls - Model IsoMax Description Acoustical Properties STC 2 x 4 Singe Wood Stud 1 Layer 5/8 Gypsum Board, each side. IsoMax with Furring Channel, one side. RIM Insulation 57 Add 2nd Layer 5/8 Gypsum Board, on one side. 61 Add 2nd Layer 5/8 Gypsum Board, both sides. 64 Sections 5) Masonry walls should be plastered or sealed with a hard coating. 6) Acoustical treatment and absorptive finishes may be used in noisy rooms to reduce the reverberation and overall noise level within these rooms. 7) All floating floors, partitions, and ceilings should be constructed with care. Construction errors such as rigid ties, fastener short-circuiting, improper floor reinforcing, etc., can create a sound flanking conduit and should be avoided. Supervision by a representative of the isolation material manufacturer can minimize field errors. (see complete marking on product) Product Data, Drawings, and Specs at 3

4 Kinetics Floating Concrete Floor Model RIM Roll-out Isolation Material for Concrete Floated Floors STC 73 and IIC 70 ratings - Premier floating floor system selected by acoustical consultants and architects for sound isolated floor construction in hospitals, performing arts centers, schools, recording studios, office buildings, and any other building where noise control is an issue.

6 Kinetics Sound Rated Floors Model SR Floorboard Superior Sound Rated Floor Underlayment Kinetics Type SR Floorboard is the premier underlayment for control of impact noise in condominiums, apartments, multifamily dwellings, commercial buildings, and other areas where footfall and impact noise can be the cause of complaints. Type SR Floorboard is a unique 5/8" thick underlayment material which substantially reduces sound transmission through hard surface floor systems. Ratings of IIC (Impact Insulation Class) 50 to 65 have been achieved in typical applications, compared with IIC-25 to 34 with conventional construction. Where a preference for hard surface floors such as ceramic tile, marble, hardwood flooring or vinyl tile make impact noise an issue, SR Floorboard is recommended. Call for details. 8" Flexicore concrete subfloor 8" Flexicore concrete subfloor STC - 60 IIC - 65 STC - 59 IIC - 59 FSTC - 54 FIIC - 53 Model Soundmatt Low profile underlayment for Sound Control Kinetics Soundmatt is a floor underlayment used to control sound transmission of both impact and airborne noise in floor systems. Soundmatt is a 5/16" (8 mm) thick underlayment used to substantially improve IIC (impact) and STC noise ratings while minimizing the elevation change. Impact noise can be intrusive to occupants in spaces below. Construction that calls for hard floor surfaces such as hardwood flooring, ceramic tile, quarry tile, marble, wood parquet and vinyl tile are all areas where impact noise is of concern. Without a floor underlayment, intrusive impact noise can be objectionable. Please contact Kinetics for specifications. 1 STC - 63 IIC STC - 58 IIC STC - 60 IIC - 53 Certified: Soundmatt and SR Floorboard have been tested with the Tile Council of America, Inc., using method ASTM-C627. Both systems achieved a Residential rating or greater for durability under load. 6 For more information call or fax

8 Kinetics/GERB Structural Bearing Solutions for Building Isolation Kinetics/GERB Spring Isolation Elements Model ATLAS Rubber Structural Bearing Patent Pending Kinetics Noise Control and GERB Vibration Control Systems U.S.A., Inc. formed a partnership in 2001 to address vibration isolation and structural noise control in building construction. Expansion of the Dallas Convention Center, completed in 2002, required the building addition to be isolated from noise and vibration generated from freight and commuter trains passing on tracks below. Kinetics/GERB engineered and produced spring and pad isolators to meet stringent requirements outlined in the specification. Kinetics new ATLAS pad offers exceptional load capacity and vibration control in a natural rubber or neoprene mount. Visit our web sites to learn more about the products Kinetics Noise Control ( and GERB Vibration Control Systems, Inc. ( offer for building isolation.
