| Abstract: | Several social surveys on noise nuisance have shown that the sound of doors banging causes considerable disturbance to the occupants of dwellings. This paper describes laboratory and field investigations into ways of reducing the noise. The laboratory study has shown that simple buffers round the door frame can give an appreciable reduction in noise from moderate slams, but are less effective against hard slams. The two main findings of the field study were: (a) the noise from door slams is attenuated more between timber framed dwellings than between masonry dwellings; and (b) between dwellings of masonry construction, noise from doors in studwork partition walls is attenuated more than noise from doors in masonry partition walls. |
