Well-being of a natural person regarding its non-disturbance by noise. The comfort threshold in acoustics is specific to each person, in that it depends on his quality of auditory perception, but also on his threshold of tolerance to noise. Acoustic comfort is an important element of the quality of life in a home. It should be noted that "acoustic comfort" is not synonymous with soundproofing index.
La webradio du 30 mars 2022 a porté sur l’acoustique en copropriété. Le bruit constitue l’une des nuisances les plus courantes en copropriété. Moult différends entre copropriétaires découlent du bruit généré par les uns et les autres. Ces pommes de discorde génèrent plusieurs litiges. Pour tout dire, l’insonorisation acoustique adéquate des appartements est l’un des principaux volets à surveiller pendant le magasinage d’un condo.
Les invités étaient monsieur Sébastien Trépanier, représentant commercial spécification chez AcoustiTECH, monsieur David Dompierre, expert acousticien chez SIBE Acoustique inc., Me Yves Joli-Cœur, avocat émérite en droit de la copropriété et madame Valéry Couture, gestionnaire de copropriété chez Condostratégis.

Acoustic comfort is an important element for the quality of life of the occupants of an apartment building. However, it is recognized that noise is one of the most common nuisances in co-ownership. Many disputes between co-owners arise from the noise generated by each other. This bone of contention generates several disputes. To be honest, the proper sound insulation of apartments is one of the main components to watch out for while shopping for a condo. It should be remembered, however, that "acoustic comfort" is not synonymous with sound transmission index (ITS). This index measures the soundproofing capacity (e.g. of a wall), i.e. the average transmission loss of airborne noise through an assembly, expressed in decibels (db). The higher the ITS index, the better the sound insulation.
