Noise control or noise mitigation is a set of strategies to reduce noise pollution or reduce the impact of noise, whether outdoors or indoors. Noise control inside a building can be achieved by following the construction techniques while building a building. The techniques of construction of walls, windows, doors and floors and the selection of suitable building materials for a better acoustic control in buildings are discussed.
The discomfort of noise within the building is increasing if the structural elements within the building also show no resistance against noise. It is found that noise transmission is intercepted as it passes through the walls, floors, windows, ceilings and building doors.
