Partitions: Acoustics
Suitable gasketing at head, jamb and sill is also required to meet
acoustical ratings. This will generally improve the sound rating by
approximately 3 decibels. Undercuts and louvers must not be permitted
where there is any concern for acoustical privacy.

FURRING AROUND SURFACE MOUNTED SERVICES
It is necessary to avoid coupling the noise energy from plumbing fixtures,
etc., into partitions and furring. Transmission of this noise and vibration
can be reduced by use of resilient devices. The enclosure around the
surface mounted services should be stiffened and acoustically dampened
to minimize noise radiation.
