Airborne & Impact Noise

Airborne & Impact Noise Control by Buildmatic – In any building, noise can reach you in two main ways: airborne noise and impact noise. Airborne noise travels through the air, carried by sound waves from sources such as conversations, music, or machinery, often leading to unwanted distractions. Impact noise, on the other hand, is created when surfaces are struck or disturbed—like footsteps on a floor, furniture being moved, or objects dropped—producing vibrations that travel through walls, floors, and ceilings.

At Buildmatic, we design and install specialist acoustic systems that target both forms of noise at their source. For airborne noise, we use high-density barriers, acoustic insulation, and airtight construction to block and absorb sound waves. For impact noise, we employ resilient isolation layers, floating floor systems, and vibration-dampening solutions to stop vibrations from spreading through the structure.

The result is a quieter, more comfortable environment, whether in residential, commercial, or specialist spaces such as studios and theatres—ensuring noise is controlled, comfort is improved, and privacy is protected.
