Soundproofing a hall for amplified music (such as a discotheque or dancing club, a concert hall, an auditorium) is not only necessary (for the envelope of the building which must oppose sufficiently the transmissions noise), which is based on the respect of an emergence limit value i.e. the difference between the A-weighted equivalent continuous pressure levels of the ambient noise (hall for amplified music in operation) and residual noise (in the absence of the noise generated by the hall for...
