Noise Control Glass No matter where it originates, from railways, aircraft or factories, noise is all around. Future trend research suggests that traffic and noise in general will only get worse. The careful and considered selection of glass can be crucial in helping to reduce noise level and meet noise requirements.

Specialist noise control glass such as Pilkington Optiphon™ has the ability to dampen and block out low and high frequency sounds thanks to a special polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer ‘sandwiched’ between laminated panes of glass. This acoustic PVB absorbs a portion of the sound energy while reflecting noise outside.

However, noise control glazing is now becoming more and more popular for residential properties. Homeowners are looking to filter out the increasingly noisy outside world, with property developers and landlords acknowledging the importance of sound insulation, especially for high-end properties.

Noise Control FAQs 1 What is R w? The R w figure is a measure of the performance of the glass across a range of frequencies adjusted for the response of the human ear. 2. What is C and C tr? C and C tr are the spectrum adjustments, which are the values added to R w to take account of the characteristics of particular sound spectra.
