My neighbors hear right above me when I click around on my Macbook with the trackpad, they can also easily hear the keyboard. Our apartment is from 1970.
Do you think the walls have a noise protection problem. Are there really such walls in Germany that are so exaggeratedly thin that you can hear the clicking of the laptop?
The pressure point of this control unit is different from that of the keyboard.
If the device is on a table that is firmly on the floor or on the wall, this energy is transferred to it and from there to the wall or floor. Therefore it can actually be that you can still hear it in the lower or upper apartment when you press this button.
You can imagine something like that. Don't be bothered to write so much, you understand.
Aso, thank you, that means that voices get worse through walls even though they are louder.
Yes, good example! With us in a fairly new house you can hardly hear anything, but when a cell phone vibrates in the rooms above me, I can hear it below…
The booth is "bugged"! There's no other way of explaining it.
It may be that it is transmitted via structure-borne noise. To counter this, the table must be decoupled from the floor. In other words, the sound transmission must be interrupted or attenuated.
In some cases, simple felt pads help. Special decouplers such as Dynavox Anti Vibe feet are probably better.
In the case of voices, coupling losses occur at the medium boundaries. The voice moves the (light) air. This in turn has to move the heavy ceiling.
