A reduction of 5 to 15 dB is achieved by filling space in walls, floors and ceilings with fiberglass insulation. That’s because insulation absorbs and dampens sound waves, raising the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. The STC is a number characterizing the sound insulation value of a partition. As an example, conventionally built walls of wood and drywall have poor STC ratings, which generally between 15 and 35. This means normal speech is easily heard through walls. By constructing resilient channels between drywall and studs or joints, and incorporating sound absorbing fiberglass insulation, at an STC rating of 55 or better makes even the loudest of speech inaudible from an adjoining room.
