Why do some competitors post higher decibel reduction numbers? |
|
These manufacturers are not using standardized testing. Anyone can find skewed ways of testing to make their numbers look better. Here is the information you need to know: There is a law of diminishing returns on single wall and double wall sound enclosure systems. Once your seals are solid, an increase in wall thickness does not substantially increase sound reduction. Also, there are no lightweight “high tech” materials that make a substantial difference. Solid mass and decoupled walls with airspace between them is the best there is. Be wary of companies who play the sound reduction numbers game.
