Quiet in the city: how to protect your home from outside noise with sound-insulating ventilation

According to the Federal Statistical Office, around 77% of the German population live in densely or moderately populated regions. New housing is increasingly being built in already densely populated neighbourhoods, often close to airports, railway stations or busy transport hubs. External noise is becoming an ever greater problem. Sound-insulating ventilation is a decisive factor for a quiet and pleasant living or working environment. Noise from outside can be disruptive and significantly impair quality of life. It is therefore important to take effective measures to ensure optimum sound insulation indoors. In our blog post, you can find out how to protect your home or office from unwanted noise. We show you how you can achieve excellent sound insulation while ensuring optimum air circulation.  

 

Why is sound-insulating ventilation important?

Sound-insulating ventilation is important for several reasons:

  1. Noise protection: it reduces external noise entering living and working spaces, which is particularly important in urban areas or near transport hubs, railway stations or airports. Less noise results in a quieter and more pleasant environment.
  2. Health: Long-term exposure to noise can result in health problems such as stress, sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases and reduced ability to concentrate. Sound-insulating ventilation helps to minimise these health risks.
  3. Quality of life: A quiet living environment contributes significantly to quality of life. Sound-insulating ventilation allows residents to keep their windows open and enjoy fresh air without being bothered by disturbing noise.
  4. Energy efficiency: Modern soundproof ventilation systems are often combined with energy-efficient technologies that enable effective ventilation without wasting a lot of energy. This helps to reduce heating and cooling costs.
  5. Increasing the value of the property: Buildings with good sound insulation and ventilation systems can be more attractive on the property market as they offer potential buyers or tenants a better quality of living.

To summarise, sound-insulating ventilation improves quality of life, protects health and contributes to energy efficiency, making it an important component of modern buildings.  

 

Maximum sound insulation with Ventomaxx: Three types of sound insulation elements

When it comes to sound insulation in ventilation systems, choosing the right ventilator plays a decisive role. Ventomaxx offers innovative sound-insulating ventilation systems that provide effective sound insulation in living spaces. Ventomaxx fans are characterised by their high quality, durability and efficient sound insulation. At Ventomaxx, we offer three different types of sound insulation elements to ensure optimum soundproofed ventilation. Our solutions achieve impressive sound insulation values against external noise in the range of 41 to 75 dB Dn,e,w. Here are the details of our elements:

 

SR-ELEMENT Our SR element is ideal for applications that require a high air flow rate. It is suitable for wall thicknesses from 280 mm and offers outstanding sound Insulation of 45 to 75 dB Dn,e,w. These properties make it a first-class choice for demanding projects where both air circulation and sound Insulation are crucial.

SD-ELEMENT The SD element is characterised by its high flexibility and adaptability. The sound Insulation can be customised to specific requirements after installation, with values up to 65 dB Dn,e,w. It is suitable for wall thicknesses from 180 mm and has proven itself on the market for over 20 years. This versatility makes the SD element a favoured solution for a wide range of building projects.

SBV ELEMENT Our SBV element is the perfect choice for particularly draught-free air outlets on the inside of the room and increased wind loads. It offers sound Insulation up to 65 dB Dn,e,w and is designed for wall thicknesses from 280 mm. The special properties of the SBV element make it ideal for demanding environments in which wind loads and draughts must be minimised.

 

Independent test reports from ift Rosenheim confirm that our sound insulated ventilation systems have the highest sound insulation values (between 41 and 74 dB, Dn,e,w). The ift Rosenheim is a renowned institution that carries out independent tests and certifications in the field of construction products.

Ventomaxx sound-insulating ventilation units certified by ift Rosenheim offer you security and certainty in terms of excellent sound insulation. The outstanding sound insulation values (Dn,e,w) demonstrate the effectiveness of our ventilation systems in reducing external noise and thus contribute to quiet and pleasant room acoustics.

With our SR, SD and SBV elements, Ventomaxx ensures that you will always find the right solution for your requirements. Whether maximum air flow, maximum flexibility or special suitability for increased wind loads – our sound insulation elements always offer you optimum protection against external noise while providing excellent ventilation. Rely on Ventomaxx for first-class sound-insulated ventilation solutions.

What good sound-insulating ventilation systems should ensure

Sound-insulating ventilators play a crucial role in any ventilation system as they help to ensure quiet and comfort indoors. But what characterises good sound-insulating ventilation systems?

1. Excellent sound Insulation: Good sound-insulating ventilation units should have a first-class sound insulation capacity to effectively keep out outside noise and thus create a quiet environment inside.

2. Optimal air circulation: In addition to sound Insulation, good air circulation is crucial. The sound-insulating ventilation should ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air, even when the windows are closed.

3. Unobtrusive design: Good sound-insulating ventilation systems should be unobtrusive and integrate seamlessly into the building architecture so as not to detract from the overall appearance.

4. Reliability: Reliable sound-insulating ventilation systems should be durable and ensure continuous performance over a long period of time to ensure constant sound insulation.

5. Energy efficiency: Efficient sound-insulating ventilation systems should be energy efficient to minimise energy consumption, saving both money and the environment.

6. Ease of use: Good sound-insulating ventilation systems should be easy to install and maintain to ensure smooth use and ease of handling.

The integration of a well thought-out ventilation concept into the overall planning makes it possible to optimally coordinate the various trades and recognise potential conflicts at an early stage. This makes it possible to create an efficient and sustainable solution for the air supply that fulfils the requirements of the users and the legal requirements.

We are happy to support you right from the initial phase of the planning process to ensure that the ideal customised ventilation solution can be implemented together with you. Provide us with your planning documents and we will support you from the start of your project through to handover and deliver the required solutions in the form of your customised Ventomaxx ventilator.

Tips for optimum sound-insulating ventilation

There are some important points to consider when setting up effective sound-insulating ventilation. Here are some tips that can help you create quiet and pleasant indoor air:

  1. Choose high-quality sound-insulating ventilation: invest in sound-insulating ventilators from Ventomaxx, which have excellent sound Insulation and ensure optimal air circulation.
  2. Check the room acoustics: Good room acoustics can support the effectiveness of sound-insulating ventilation. You should therefore also consider other soundproofing measures in the room.
  3. Regular maintenance: Ensure that your soundproofing ventilation systems are serviced regularly to ensure continuous functionality.
  4. Optimal placement: Place the sound-insulating ventilation systems in strategic locations to achieve efficient sound insulation.
  5. Customisation: Adapt the sound-insulating ventilation to the specific requirements of your project and choose the appropriate method accordingly.
  6. Combination of methods: A combination of different sound insulation methods can result in an even more effective ventilation solution.

By following these tips and relying on high-quality sound-insulating ventilation, you can achieve optimal sound-insulating ventilation in your rooms, ensuring both sound Insulation and comfortable air circulation.
