“People looking for peace and quiet in their homes know that silence is not only golden - it is priceless. Unwanted noise can affect our sleep, relaxation and ability to concentrate on a task, such as studying.
Increasingly, the design and materials used in the construction of a home ultimately play a large role on how sound can be managed or eliminated.”
