Ever wonder why certain sounds travel so easily through your walls or floors? In this video, Raincloud Noise & Vibration breaks down the three primary sources of noise found in any building and explains why some are harder to deal with than others.

We cover:

  • Airborne Noise: Sounds like voices, TVs, or outside traffic. While it has the least amount of structural power, it requires architectural solutions to block out.

  • Vibration-Induced Noise: Energy from mechanical or electrical equipment injected directly into the building's structure. This is the main focus of today's video, as it travels easily and holds a lot of power.

  • Impact Noise: Brief but highly powerful sounds like heavy footsteps, dropping items, or shutting drawers, which can be particularly difficult to isolate.

Watch to learn how mechanical energy turns into unwanted sound and why addressing noise at its source is critical!
