 Manufactures provide different solutions of soundproof building elements. The table below shows construction of selected elements and their transmission loss which meets project requirements. Additionally floating floor construction insulates inner space from the impact noise produced by the tram passing through the building volume. 63 Transmission loss, dB Frequency, Hz 500 1000 2000 125 250 4000 Window 8 | 0.51 PVB | 8 [20 AS] 10 | 0.51 PVB | 10 37 42 46 50 55 58 Floor slab pre fab 200 | floating RCC 50 38 44 52 55 60 65 Exterior frame wall timber 38 50 53 65 77 80 Partition wall timber 8000 R w , dB STC OITC 50 50 41 55 57 58 44 55 52 Table   4 Transmission losses of selected construction elements NOISE AND VIBRATION ENGINEERING FOR RAIL TRANS- PORT  Sound pressure level and vibration can be reduced not only by protecting receiving structure, but also by improving systems of the transport infrastructure net- work. Manufactures provide various types of solutions for each aspect (airborne noise, impact noise, vibration, etc.) which could occur in rail constructions as well as in brake system of the train | tram.  On the basis of the fact that noise study is done to ensure that required levels of noise inside the building will be achieved even in extreme conditions which could possibly happen on the site, only essential for the project installations are mentioned: rail groove fillers, under ballast mats and track damping systems.
