There are many types of noise pollution that have an impact on the community including aircraft noise, traffic noise, industrial machinery, power tools, or even the innocent sounds of children playing. The frequency of such noises determines the impact they will have on occupants of both commercial and domestic buildings. Brick or concrete walls offer superior resistance to sound, however buildings require glass to allow natural light to penetrate inside whilst also adding to a buildings visual appeal. Recent improvements in noise reduction products have enhanced the acoustic performance of glass whilst retaining the benefits required for modern architecture. The foremost contributor to better noise control is laminated glass and insulated glass units and in some cases a combination of the two.
