Because the difference it makes to your privacy and comfort can be dramatic.

Sound Reduction Index (Rw) is a term used to measure airborne sound transmission loss through a building element, such as a wall, ceiling, floor or pipe.
The Rw ratings shown can be achieved using typical building materials - 70mm timber studs, plasterboard and acoustic insulation batts installed between the studs.
The Rw + Ctr performance of a wall or floor/ceiling system has greater consideration for low frequency (base) type noise compared to the Rw performance.
Therefore, with the increased popularity of sound systems and home cinemas, the Rw + Ctr performance is often used to compare the performance of wall and floor/ceiling systems in new homes.
The higher the Rw rating, the less noise you’ll hear from upstairs, downstairs or the next room.
