5 * STAR CITY HOTEL -GUESTROOM ACOUSTIC CONTROLS

Acoustic Control

Acoustic performance of walls, floors and equipment is subject to many variables. Consultation with a qualified acoustic consultant, a member of the National Council of Acoustical
Consultants, is highly recommended.
Construction Criteria: Provide interior wall, floor / ceiling construction to achieve the following minimum Sound Transmission Classification (STC) and Impact Insulation Class (IIC):

50 STC between Guest Rooms (Field Test).

45 STC between Guest Rooms and corridors (Field Test).

Construction Details: Ensure that acoustic construction details for required rated assemblies are met.

These details, typically include the following:

• In stud framing, setting the toe of perimeter (base, wall and head) framing members in continuous sealant.

• Following recommended product manufacturer’s acoustic control details, etc.

• Sealing the perimeter of wall where it meets other surfaces.
• Offsetting and sealing electrical receptacle boxes in party walls.

• Designs that mitigate plumbing and mechanical generated noise above ceilings and in chases.

• Spacing of HVAC supply and return grills to prevent noise migration from guestroom to guestroom; providing sound and acoustic baffles in ductwork.

Door / Frame Details: Provide construction to achieve acoustic rating of adjoining wall as noted above.

• Fill hollow frames solid with fiber insulation. Include door perimeter seals and door bottom seals at connector doors. • Provide thresholds for positive door seal contact (entry and connector doors).
• Do not undercut doors to allow return air if it circumvents the sound isolation objectives noted above.
