Welcome to Sound Advice, a repository of acoustic data from the folks at Ecore International, makers of recycled rubber performance surfaces and underlayments.
Sound Advice exists to assist the acoustical consultant and specifier with the important work that’s happening throughout the A&E industry.
A falling object, like a foot or weight, has energy. When the object hits the floor, that kinetic energy gets distributed to many places: back to the object (bounce), into the room (impact sound), to the room below (impact sound), to the floor (heat). Our products are all about managing where that energy goes.
We have made great efforts to quantify the management of acoustical energy, and reports are available when you click on “Test Data” to log in and view acoustical test results. Go to the blog and you’ll find comments and updates from Ecore Acoustics. Click “Email us” to reach out to Ecore’s on-staff acoustic engineer.
