My sister endlessly complained about her old wood frame apartment. Yes, you could hear the neighbours bowel movements every morning. Sure nice to wake up that way everyday. On the plus side, you don't need an alarm clock.

I recall when I lived in Edmonton in the early 00s, there were occasional news articles about people in wood-framed four storey condos upset about the noise carrying through the buildings. Things like being able to hear your neighbours taking a leak in vivid detail, that sort of thing. I wonder if there has been any progress over the last 10-15 years in terms of mitigating that sound without breaking the bank?

I would live in a big, old timber-framed Exchange District warehouse without any hesitation, but I can't really say I'd be at all inclined to live in a modern multistorey, multifamily wood framed residential building.

the woodframe condos on north tache are terrible for lack of soundproofing.

they aren't that old, maybe eight years. I would take a lot of convincing before moving into a wood frame building.

There is much sound transfer in a warehouse loft through the timbers and the loud walkers above. Notwithstanding above neighbour's toilet, shower and sink drain pipes are in the unit below them. But there is little sound transfer wall to wall. Most of that should be expected in 100+ year old converted warehouses.

Hmm. In my experience, the old converted warehouses in the Exchange seemed fairly quiet and solid while the typical wood framed MURBs have a hollow sound, where every footstep echoes.

Sound transmission between suites in a converted timber frame warehouse will be the same, if not worse than a comparable new build.

All of the new interior partition walls would be constructed the same as any other new build, and the existing floor systems usually present challenges to solve the sound transmission and retain the character elements.

People's perceptions may vary - but all buildings be they wood, concrete or steel need to meet minimum STC ratings for the wall and floor assemblies.

you get same amount of noise no doubt but its how the noise carry's and sounds its self

the hallow sound of the new builds is so cheap and hallow sounding kinda drains you
in the big old timber buildings the sound travels differently theres an bit of a energy to it, yet it can be annoying but its different little more soothing strangly.

but yea this conversation really makes me miss 318 ross

the noise of that elevator clicking as it went up or the bash of the doors opening and closing people talking, walking, the sounds of music i duno just something special not that the place wasnt a death trap just something neat about living in that enviroment tucked away in my own corner.

that's explains why the new pavement on Hargrave was cut open by Crown Utilities a couple of weeks ago and the Les.Net "fiber ambulance" was in the loading dock last week.

bomberjet · #**2874** Posted **Apr 21, 2017, 6:06 PM**

Who ever Crown did the cable push for left a few hydro vac inspection holes over some other utilities that will need to have a permement restoration done on the pavement.
