SO36

So36 has implemented a few important steps in the new noise protection project:
Installed two brand new soundproof doors between the main entrance and the event room.
Replaced the smoke extraction flap on the south side of the building.
The old doors were around 30 years old, warped and did little to reduce the noise. The new doors, on the other hand, have significantly better insulation values: Door 1 now insulates 18 dB and door 2 even 21.1 dB. The whole thing was measured using state-of-the-art equipment (1.5 m distance, dbA slow, pink noise, etc.).

You can hear and measure the difference – it is definitely quieter. In addition, the smoke extraction flap was renewed, which means noticeably less noise towards Skalitzer Straße/corner of Mariannenstraße. All in all, our noise protection program has really worked, even if it’s not quite perfect yet.
