When specifying doors to address sound mitigation, it is important to understand the attributes of door design and the performance criteria that will meet design requirements and sound transmission control. The purpose of this course is to examine the primary attributes and issues related to the sound control utilizing doors with Sound Transmission Class rating (STC), and how to better understand the performance criteria when selecting door products when noise is an issue to help improve the user’s experience and mitigate noise pollution.

This course will also consider testing criteria for Sound Transmission Class (STC) and how model building codes reference sound transmission and outline the necessary requirements for buildings.
