Structure-borne noise is created where pipes are in contact with the building structure, either deliberately through supporting clips and brackets, or inadvertently, due to pipes resting on the structure, and sound waves pass from pipes to building. Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/trade-association-consistent-approach-to-acoustics-homes\/49310\/\">sources of noise can be managed<\/a> by good system

href=\"https:\/\/www.britishplastics.co.uk\/News\/franz-helle-appointed-new-chair-of-bpf-pipes-group-and-bsi-c\/\">Franz Huelle<\/a> of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bpfpipesgroup.com\/\"> BPF Pipes Group<\/a> commented: \u201cThere are currently no UK, European or sector standards in existence that specify the acoustic performance of soil and waste pipes, and yet designers are constantly seeking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/monitoring-construction-noise\/32570\/\">reduce noise in modern buildings<\/a>.\u00a0 Acoustic measurement is a complex subject and acceptable levels of noise inside buildings are intensely personal.\u00a0 Our guide will help specifiers identify the right information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sound-attenuated plastic pipes, together with purpose-designed ancillaries such as flexible and vibration-resistant joints, support clips and fire collars, provide a more modern approach to the design of soil and waste systems, meeting increasingly stringent expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The new guidance provides clear advice on what technologies are available, what to choose to support overall acoustic building design, what to look for in product specification to ensure the best results, top tips on good installation practice, and a guide to understanding the terms relating to acoustics in buildings.<\/p>\n<p>As Franz Huelle concludes: \u201cCombining the traditional benefits of weight and quick jointing with state-of-the-art design and manufacturing in a complete soil and waste systems solution with added acoustic performance is ideal to help those designing building services to meet and exceed modern expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on BPF services <a
