Airborne sound insulation - Internal walls The required minimum airborne sound insulation values between rooms are defined by the activity noise in the source room and the noise tolerance in the receiving room. Internal walls with the adjacent rooms to a library will require high level of sound absorption to achieve the required values.
A typical lightweight metal stud wall can be insulated with Rockwool Flexi to achieve Rw 63dB . For a 146mm Metal ‘C’ studs @ 600mm ctrs construction, one layer of 15mm wallboard (12Kg/m2) on both sides and 1x 140mm or 2x70mm Rockwool Flexi should be used.
