What I forgot to mention: There are 2 types of sound transmission: 1. Airborne and 2. Structure-borne sound Airborne sound is stopped by mass, Structure-borne sound by "air" (i.e. an interruption of the sound-conducting structure) That’s why sound reduction can also be achieved through lightweight materials ... I agree as well - it depends on how the sound is transmitted.
Believe me, I have very few concerns about sound. The project is in the five-figure range and therefore costs more than my front door + glass element ;)
the project has probably already been decided ... I would have thought of provisional solutions beforehand, like curtains and partition walls - maybe some solutions from exhibition stand construction .. But I'm just rambling ... :)
