Description
Summary:This paper reports an investigation of a new kind of material and its acoustical performance. The potential of recycled materials made from rubber fluff for reducing impact noise was assessed according to EN ISO 140-8:1997. The performance of these materials was compared to those of some commercially available underlays.
