Sounds from inside the building\n(conversations, wifi, TVs, radios&#8230;) and from outside (traffic, transport,\nworks&#8230;).<\/li><li><strong>Noises\npassing through the ceilings, walls, pipes, and floors<\/strong> that propagate vibrating sound waves in the adjoining\nrooms. They can be caused by impacts (footsteps, scratches, movement of\nfurniture, things falling&#8230;), the noise of shared equipment (elevator, heating\nboilers&#8230;) and of individual equipment and installations (household\nappliances, air conditioning, heating systems, kitchen and bathroom taps&#8230;).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Noise pollution is not inevitable: noise can be\ncombated during construction, rehabilitation and renovation work of buildings,\nas well as by changing our daily habits by being less noisy ourselves, not only\nwith our voice but also with our gestures, for example when using kitchen utensils\nand devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can we create a comfortable acoustic environment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Choose\nquieter installations and appliances.<\/li><li>Use cushioned\nhinges, guides and lifting systems for doors and windows.<\/li><li>Avoid\nthe simultaneous use of sound generating devices.<\/li><li>Lower\nthe noise in our conversations. Speak at a medium voice level.<\/li><li>Incorporate\nlower noise habits when doing housework.<\/li><li>Do not\npierce the soundproofing systems to make way for installations.<\/li><li>Condition\nthe space by means of insulating doors or panels and absorbent materials to\nseparate the noise between different environments.<\/li><li>Avoid\nthe noise of the furniture by putting protection &#8220;pads&#8221; on its legs.<\/li><li>Avoid\nany rigid connection between the floating floor and the walls or pillars.<\/li><li>Fasten\nor support the elements that may generate vibrations (air conditioning\nequipment, speakers&#8230;) to elastic and anti-vibration supports.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The kitchen is the heart of the home, a multifunctional space where we meet family and friends, the place we work and in which children do their homework and play, among other activities.
